Hey — something big is coming, and you're seeing it first.
I've been building something for the past year that I wish existed when our family got our diagnosis. nyceville is a mobile app designed as a home for the 15 million parents navigating autism and special needs — a place where questions get real answers, where communities are built around shared experience, and where no one has to scroll through noise to find what actually works.
This isn't a social media app. It's a village. And I want you to be one of the first people to walk through the door.
A heads up: I'm dropping you into the app without a walkthrough on purpose. I want to see how it feels when you explore it fresh — like a real person downloading it for the first time. There's testing data already in there so you can see what it looks and feels like with content. Post anything, ask any question — it doesn't need to be specific to your situation. I'm just looking for what feels right and what doesn't. Poke around. Get curious. Get confused. That's all useful.
You're part of a small group getting early access before we open to the public. Your honest reactions will directly shape what thousands of families experience when we launch.
You don't need to spend hours — even 15 minutes of exploring will help. After you've wandered around, come back to these:
This is the heart of the app. Try asking a question and see what it's like to pick a category and choose what kind of answers you want.
When parents share what they've tried, the app organizes those experiences — showing what worked, what didn't, and what people are still trying. Look at the color-coded bars. This is our signature feature.
Browse the groups. Tap into a few. Think about how you use Facebook Groups or other community apps — how does this compare?
In the Q&A Hub, you'll notice there are two tabs: Questions and Solutions. I'm testing whether these should stay separate or be combined into one view. Pay attention to how you move between them — does having two tabs feel natural, or would you rather see everything in one place?
Drop a post in any group or on your feed. Leave a comment. See how it feels to actually participate, not just browse.
Having trouble installing? Just text me — I'll walk you through it.
Text me, email me at contact@nyceville.com, or reply however is easiest. No pressure to answer all of them — even one or two honest reactions would mean the world.
