Summary

We asked FreeTime founder, Josh Johnson, about building an app that helps users put down their phones and spend time with friends in real life. The app, called FreeTime, uses the no-code platform Bubble to meet specific requirements. It allows users to find time to hang out with friends without having to download anything, making it a unique alternative to social media. Josh and his team had designed the app but lacked coding skills, so they turned to no-code tools like Bubble to empower themselves to build it. FreeTime has received positive feedback on its design and UX, and has reached milestones such as being the #2 app on ProductHunt on launch day with over 500 sign-ups. The founders plan to continue improving and adding features to make it easier for users to connect with their friends.
