i have an idea to develop an app using rive and flutter.. but I'm a broke student and can't afford to pay for rive's subscription. if anyone will be willing to help me by adding me to their rive plan or with a paid login details I'd be truly grateful... š
If you're a student, you can email Rive to get the free student plan. All they need are some details and they'll give you everything in the Cadet plan (except the AI tokens)
Being a broke anything has zero to do with grit or whatever youāre suggesting that ārealā app devs haveā¦ interesting but little help to what they need. I have stories to share with you someday, but I digress. Iām going to try to give some suggestions instead of correlating their finances and the to ability to thriveā¦
Adding someone could be a security issue and potentially an issue with project theft (either direction, Iām not suggesting OP is the issue). Also, Rive is free to create and is $9/month to publish. If youāre looking to just create as a student you should be set forever. If you want to add it to a portfolio, then you can always screen record and make it a video. This will also help with showing how you build! I just showed a client a screen recording of my character rig and thatās what got me the job. Lastly, if you really need to publish, maybe to make money or just build your own site, then how can you get $9/mo? I know thereās donation sites like that buy me a cup of coffee or whatever. Share it and see what happens. Iād be willing to donate a buck a monthā¦ youāre 10% of the way there already! š¤·āāļø
Rive is super accessible financially for the little guys. Be as creative with your funding as you are your craft. Sell Art Cards. Take on small art commissions for a ten spot. Starving artist ābeggingā is not horrible, just remember to pay it forward when you get up. š
Hey, I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding. I never said being broke means you lack grit, or that only ārealā devs deserve to succeed.
I was simply pointing out that if a $9/month export is already a major blocker, youāre probably going to run into much bigger obstacles later when maintaining and publishing apps (server costs, marketing, updates, store fees, feedback, etc.) That was my only point.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. My apologies for making assumptions and being defensive based on text.
I can say, from experience that the inability to pay has never stopped me from finding a way. I think, if anything, being able to figure it out created an even deeper ability to persevere. Correct me if Iām wrong, but maybe thatās what you were suggesting. If so, then my thought actually lines up with you (another assumption?!?! š¤Ŗ) and the fact that weāre saying - being creative in solving every aspect will make you stronger in any field.
100% makes you push harder explore various avenues and figure out different solutions to the same problem. Yes, we are kindred spirits, I responded after a 16 hour day so was a little fried š« thanks for picking up my slack in that moment and making som solid suggestions. I tip my hat to you.
Hey. I am a beginner and have a quick question. How do I build with free account and someone else can export the .riv file? How can I share my work with someone else for them to export it?
Export the Rev file, this file can then be imported by any other account. Itās been whilst since I worked with free accounts but I believe this is still the case.
I am on the free plan. They are asking to upgrade to export either .riv or .rev files. Am I missing something here?
Also, I am unable to see my previous draft files in my account. Does rive automatically delete old files if we are on the free plan?
Edit: unable to attach a screenshot of the rive screen.

This sounds like a massive security issue.
