Hi Makers and Hunters!
I've always wanted to learn to build an app for the app store. I designed and built this app with React Native ⚛️ and it works for iOS and Android!
What this solves:
When sharing a photo on social media, a popular edit is to add a caption or quote. It can be really hard to find the right one. Perfect Quote aims to use AI/Machine Learning to help you find quotes that you can use, based on the photo you've selected.
Here's how it works:
The app uses Google's MLKit to label the selected photo, then attempts to match the photo with relevant quotes. You can customize the image with different templates, colors, and fonts.
I'm currently experimenting with a freemium model where people are limited to how many images they can make a day, as well as which templates are available. I'm really interested to experiment with ads, track conversions, and see how this app stacks up against other apps focused on quotes and sharing them on social media.
What should I build for this app next?
- Support for additional languages?
- More templates?
- Additional font/color options?
- More patters, textures, and filters?
- Improve the quote matching process?
Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions. I'm looking forward to making improvements/enhancements/addressing feature requests. So thankful for the support of this community! 🙏

@stevesaul82 Great job; a great example of how to learn in public.
@navanel Thanks! I took a course from Devslopes a few years ago on Udemy and they really helped me level up my skills!

@stevesaul82 Great innovative idea. Could you also make an online or PC version? That would be really helpful. Regardless, a great idea. Kudos to you.

What an incredible idea, @stevesaul82 - I could see Guy Kawasaki (invested in Canva, and a firm believer in badass, easy to use apps) would dig this. Acquisition, perhaps?
What a great use of AI! Where are the quotes sourced? For example, would it match with someone like Atticus who is a modern poet most known for being Instagram famous or would it be more like classical author quotes?
@suhyonya The quotes are currently coming from the Paper Quotes API, but I've got a custom API in the works to allow for manual additions like that. Agree that it would be great to have some more modern entries (instead of classical/cliche ones)
Interesting. What kind of ML training methods did you use on it and which datasets have you been using as training data?

This app has the makings of a great work - combining intellect and ambition with intuitive action. The app is captivating for all, not just individuals looking for the perfect quote.
