Hi!! I’m Vagisha from the Client Happiness team at Adalo. I’ve spent weeks in spreadsheets trying to understand how people actually build here, and honestly? Spreadsheets only tell you so much. So I wanted to go to the source: you.
If you’ve built something on Adalo you’re a little too proud of, I want to see it. The polished client app counts. But the clever tool you threw together at 1 am to fix one oddly specific problem, the one half your friends now rely on? Those are the best ones.
What I’m really after is the story:
The moment it clicked. When Adalo finally made sense.
The feature that got you going. The one that unblocked you.
The build you’re proud of. The workflow that’s now your go-to.
Two easy ways in:
Email me at vagisha@adalo.com for a quick 15-minute chat (no slides, promise)
Drop your app and a line about it in the comments
Consider this your official permission to brag. Go on.
The idea came from a practical limitation: Adalo’s standard features were not enough to create the audio application I had in mind.
The turning point was realizing that a custom component could do more than add a single missing feature—it could turn Adalo into the foundation for a much more sophisticated media product.
I am especially proud of the component’s integration with the Adalo database. App creators can connect their own collections and fields without relying on hard-coded internal field IDs.
One of the most challenging and valuable features was enabling continuous and randomized playback of audio from Adalo collections while using Adalo’s standard list and section components.
I am also developing another Adalo project for learning foreign languages. In that application, the component is used to play words and phrases and help learners memorize them through repeated listening.
I would be happy to tell you more about the component and the story behind its development.
Written communication is more comfortable for me because my spoken English is not very strong yet. My native language is Russian. I hope this format works for you, and I will be happy to answer any questions by email.
