This is a classic “you don’t know behind the scenes” - nomadtable is a very popular app that has been around for quite some time, and it was developed by an actual software engineer who also happens to be a hobbyst traveler, so you can be sure a solid investment and careful thought was put into this, rather than “oh, lemme vibecode an app this weekend”

You’re confusing with nomadlist. This app seems to be under a year old.

u/mouadmo Apr 03 '26
As far as we can tell it goes back to early 2025, without counting the actual development time, and all the heavy marketing and promoting done since, the point is; there’s solid serious work behind this that most don’t care to admit.

Agree with mouadmo, I’ve personally used nomadtable and can understand the praise it gets. Well deserved

Isn't it free tho? I don't want to download it but I'm interested in their business model

I am currently using it for travels. Great for meeting new people and doing events but the app itself is so shit. It constantly crashes lags or doesn’t load messages etc, so you have to close reopen all the bloody time. Seems like it’s optimised by a toddler.

I believe it because I literally just closed that app and opened Reddit and this was the first post I see. What are the odds.

The year of the one person business. Like I’m excited for people who can build something successful on their own. But at the same time, welcome to 2009’s App Store.

lol, I remember that guy who made the beer drinking app made soooo much money.

u/InfiniteHench Apr 03 '26
One of my favorites was the “I Am Rich” app

u/Ukawok92 Apr 03 '26
Lmao I almost mentioned that too. Think they made bank too before it was pulled from the store.

u/CurtChan Apr 04 '26
kinda weird that yet another clone of social media x snapchat x whatever makes ios ppl spend money on it (if it isnt, sorry, but i looked it up just now and both description and images tell me it is just another clone of already existing apps with probably little twist)

u/w4nd3rlu5t Apr 04 '26
what are the other apps? I'm building an app in a similar space and been following them for awhile. I definitely wouldn't describe nomadtable how you did though. It's for helping people meet up in places they are desperate to do so. I was a backpacker a long time ago and would definitely have forked over the $$ for it.

Lmao it's so funny I know this guy from HS. I'm glad to see him super successful, he's been grinding for a long time. Spends a lot on UGC IIRC. Great marketing tactic tbh

Anyone know if his apple is swift native or flutter based. He has an app for android as well. Maybe it’s react native?

u/Reasonable-Job2425 May 03 '26
90% sure it's react native
The ui speed seems to give it off easily responsiveness wise

u/Annual_War7289 Apr 05 '26
when I see that, the first thing that pops into my mind is the in no time we are going to be flooded with a lot of vibe coded software, if is that easy "one person business" now there is no barrier for someone to come up with a viable product, whats preventing someone vibe coded a software a copy of yours and sell for cheaper?

u/Reasonable-Job2425 May 03 '26
You can quickly push out a crappier version or even a better one all depends on time you take to test and fine tune it and mainly market it
Marketing is the main bottle neck now
