Let's Talk About /r/BuildAnApp
Alright everyone. As you all may have noticed, despite our slow and steady growth, the sub has not been receiving as many posts and app-building requests as we have anticipated. This has led us to have quite a stagnant sub as a whole.
So, what can we do from here? Well, we mods will tell you; we at r/BuildAnApp are in the process of cooperating with other app-oriented subs in order to stimulate our growth and foster a successful and productive community.
In addition, we intend to have a stickied thread every week which will promptly be named the "Curating Thread". This post will allow app creators or ambitious developers to receive feedback from us mods or other sophisticated devs on how to eventually create a more sound idea which can be proposed to the rest of the community as a "Build A Team" post. The first "Curating Thread" goes up this Friday, so stay aware!
So, to recap:
-
We've acknowledged the slow-pace of this sub
-
We are in the process of cooperating with other app-related subs in order to help this community grow
-
We are setting up a "Curating Thread" every week to help aspiring developers get their questions answered before they post an app idea that needs a team to bring it to fruition
We look forward to seeing this sub develop.
Let's build the apps of the future, together.

That's good to hear that you are putting good effort to keeping this subreddit alive.
Thanks! It's a great yet small community, and I'm doing everything in my power to boost activity.
May be, and I'm not sure if this is really a good idea, but to have some chat rooms going would be cool. There are a ton of these out already, so using anything that is already out would may be help. I saw about a month ago a group that has all sorts of programmers on the r/learnprogramming subreddit hanging in some chat group. This way it would be also easier to may be find the right coders needed and whatever else. Getting a community together is a tough business.
