Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Rayane, a designer and developer with a deep love for nature. I've always felt that insects are misunderstood, so I built Bugsy to help people discover their world.
My goal was to create something beautiful and inclusive. I spent a lot of time on VoiceOver support and even added a "phobia mode" because I want everyone to explore without fear. You can also trade insects with friends to complete your collection together!
The app is free to use for collecting, with a premium subscription for the AI Chat and dynamic weather cards.
I’ve just released the app and I’m now looking for my very first users to get feedback and make it better. I'll be here all day to chat! 🐞✨
This is so extremely cute and wholesome. I love it so much! There are a lot of actively educating conservationists out there, who are always looking for new ways to educate their viewers in a digital and virtual way, and I’m sure would love their audiences to try this out.
One piece of feedback as someone who was really excited to earn stars toward my next insect. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get any stars at all for trying the quiz, especially as a new user. I think there might be a missing behavioral loop here where you can help users reinforce the action of completing the quiz daily with at least a couple of stars vs rewarding them for getting it right with more stars (I’m not sure what the current value is since I failed my first question 😅).
Looking forward to see you build a community on the app!
Such a wholesome left turn from the rest of today's launches. How did you pick which bugs to include, was it the ones kids already recognise or did you go for the weird ones on purpose? My gut says kids will gravitate toward the weird ones but curious what you saw in testing.
Hey! Looks great! How does the AI identification work in the field? Does it need a good photo or can it handle blurry/partial shots too?
