TLDR I was studying Mechanical Engineering in the UK when I joined my roommate and his friend in building an app called Cluttr they started developing in the Summer of 2017. We were trying to solve everyday roommate issues such as chore delegation, group calendar, bill tracking, instant messaging and even a house board. After graduation, we went full-time on this idea with little to no savings and rejecting offers from Cisco and Nextdoor. We applied to a few accelerators with our improved metrics and heard back from most rejections. Apple decided to promote us from New Apps We Love to App of the Day, we obtained 3,000 downloads that day alone.via the TL;DR App
