Hey Product Hunt! I started learning iOS a few weeks ago. Shipped two small apps to learn the basics, then wanted a bigger challenge: build an app where everyone shares the same data, without running a traditional server. The stack is CloudKit's public database, a GitHub Actions cron for daily logic, and a Cloudflare Worker as redundancy. No VPS, no database to maintain, no monthly hosting bill. I took journalism in high school and writing courses at uni, so an app about words felt right. Here's how Quipd works: - One word appears each day - You write exactly six words using it - Then you see what everyone else wrote - The most-hearted response picks tomorrow's word - The chain grows forever Some interesting problems I had to solve: - What happens when someone submits at exactly midnight while the system is picking the next word? - How do you stop early responses from dominating? I built a swipe-through reveal where heart counts are hidden while you're voting. - How do you keep storage from growing forever? Responses auto-delete after 48 hours. Only the winning word persists. Total hosting cost: $0. Happy to answer questions about the build!
