I spearheaded the development of an AI app that acts as a VFX Supervisor for Filmmakers and VFX Artists. This is what I learned in the process.... and this is our No Budget Launch Trailer! Curious to hear if anyone else has advice in communicating best to devs now that we have launched our MVP.

After months of work we just launched our app FX Sup and I wanted to share some of the journey for anyone else building something without doing the coding themselves. This process has been a grind. The idea came from working on film sets and constantly seeing filmmakers miss out on huge production value simply because they didn’t know what was possible with VFX or how to prep for it. That gap between production and post stuck with me for years and I finally decided to try building something to help bridge it. I’m not a developer so at first I explored no-code options. But it quickly became clear that what we needed — a mix of creative tools, project management, and a job board — wasn’t realistic to pull off without going custom. What really saved this project was wireframes and entity relationship diagrams. Honestly that’s been the single most important insight from the whole process. If you're not the one coding it clear wireframes and ER diagrams are your lifeline. That’s how you communicate with devs and make sure you’re building what you actually intended. Every time we skipped that step or got lazy about documentation something came out wrong or confusing or broken. I built the wireframes in Figma and refined the flows over and over. Then I worked with the devs to map out how everything connected on the backend. It wasn’t glamorous but it made everything real. Without that structure this project would have either stalled or turned into a bloated mess. We launched the MVP version last week on the app stores and now we’re collecting feedback and figuring out next steps. Not trying to pitch anything here just sharing in case it’s useful. If you’re building something and not writing the code yourself treat your wireframes and diagrams like your source of truth. It makes all the difference. Happy to answer any questions if anyone’s in a similar place. It’s been a long road and we’re still learning.  submitted by /u/Prestigious_Chip7205 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Prestigious_Chip7205)
