Hello my name is Kendall i am 16 years old and I bulit an app Called GearVault it's for photographers to track gear, serial number receipts all that looking for a few photographers to test the Android APK including the app #photography #android #apk #buildinpublic #indiedev

if your camera got stolen rn would you be able to prove it’s yours? most photographers can’t that’s why I’m building GearVault looking for a few photographers to test it #photography #cameragear #buildinpublic #androidapps

@viberankdev Appericate it i will definitely check out viberankdev too i am trying to find real photographers that is willing to test out the APK to test it early

@CodesKr1 tracking expensive gear is such a smart niche. The peace of mind for photographers is huge. If you are looking for more Android testers, viberankdev could be a good place to list it.

You don’t need a gear tracker… until something gets stolen building Gear Vault for that moment Android testers needed 📷 #buildinpublic #photography #androiddev #startups

Your camera gear can disappear in seconds proving you owned it is the hard part building Gear Vault to fix that looking for Android testers 📷 #buildinpublic #photography #androiddev #startups

@jasper_yy Appreciate that, that’s exactly what I’m focusing on right now making sure the PDF is actually solid when it matters next iteration should be cleaner for sure

@CodesKr1 Refining Android first makes sense to nail the core workflow. High-value, low-frequency tools live or die by the output quality. If that PDF is solid, the platform won't matter as much. Ready to see how you handle the next iteration.

Looking for a few Android testers for an app I built: Gear Vault Helps photographers document gear for insurance (serials, receipts, PDF export) Reply if you want the APK 👍 #buildinpublic #indiedev #photography #flutterdev

@jasper_yy Appreciate that a lot 🙏 That’s exactly what I was aiming for something you actually use when it matters Focusing on refining the Android version first, then expanding to iOS/desktop I’ll be sharing updates as I improve it would love to keep you in the loop

@CodesKr1 "Using it when it matters" is the highest bar for any tool. I’m on iOS/Desktop, but I’d love to follow the beta progress! Even without the app, that insurance-ready PDF concept is a masterclass in solving a real "pain point" vs. just a "nice-to-have." Keep pushing!

@the_vibepreneur Appreciate that yeah I’ve been testing the Reddit angle definitely seeing how real the problem is there Product Hunt is a good call too once it’s a bit more polished

@CodesKr1 Cool app idea! For finding testers, try posting in r/photography and r/AskPhotography on Reddit — photographers there would love this for insurance docs. Also consider listing on Product Hunt when you're ready 🚀

Photographers don’t realize they need gear documentation… until it’s gone. I built an app to track gear + export insurance-ready PDFs. Need Android testers. Reply “vault”#buildinpublic #photography #android #indiedev

@jasper_yy Appreciate that 🙏 that’s exactly the idea making it something you can actually use when it matters I’m running a small Android beta right now if you want to try it

@CodesKr1 Photographers definitely need this. The "PDF export for insurance" feature is a massive peace of mind. Building for a specific niche like this is the way to go. Hope the beta testing gives you some killer feedback!

@RONiNmedia000 That’s a great insight. The PDF/report format is definitely the core of it, and I like that target user framing a lot.

Separate tracking per item + receipt photos in the PDF — that's exactly what an insurer needs. Clean report format is the key differentiator from just using Notes. I can't test Android but your target user is clear: the photographer who just bought their first L-lens and realized they have no documentation. That's your marketing angle.

@RONiNmedia000 Yeah each item is tracked separately (bodies, lenses, etc.) And the PDF is designed as a clean insurance-style report with all details + receipt photos. I’m still refining the layout a bit. Happy to send it if you want to check it out 👍

Gear insurance documentation is an underserved problem — most photographers realize they need this only after they've already lost gear. Two questions from a non-photographer: Does it handle multiple bodies + lenses separately? And does the PDF export look professional enough to actually submit to an insurer?

Built Gear Vault, an offline app that helps photographers document their gear for insurance. Serial numbers, receipts, warranty tracking, and exportable PDF reports. Looking for Android testers #buildinpublic #indiedev #photography #flutterdev
