25K users. 4.9 stars. 150 countries. Zero paid ads. I was in my first semester of college when I launched. I didn't know what ASO was. Here's what actually worked: 🧵

@Sherifdeenolat2 Not just MVP Being 3 years into Flutter dev, I built CalcQuest - the first-of-its-kind math puzzle game with 25k+ users, 4.9⭐ 📱 - play.google.com/store/apps/det…  - apps.apple.com/us/app/calc-qu…

Share anything you’ve built yourself, with or without AI, that you’re proud of. Art work, website, web app, mobile and so on.

@mikeydsoftware anthropic is winning on trust and research depth rn. openai on distribution. google's got the infra but nobody's actually rooting for them

Which AI company is actually ahead right now? Don't tell me who's winning revenue. Don't tell me who's winning users. Tell me who's winning AI. - OpenAI - Anthropic - xAI - Google

@Taniyatweets_ cursor if you're writing code all day. claude if your work is a mix of writing, research, and building. depends what your actual day looks like

Where should your $20 go? Cursor Premium vs Claude Premium

@CodeWithAmann the step everyone skips: talking to actual users before assuming what to build. the ai is the easy part honestly

Bought claude pro, now how do I make 1 million dollars per month?

@moonfarm_dev client work lol. spend the real time on product, not chasing invoices or explaining scope to people who keep moving the goalposts

Imagine your saas just hit $10k MRR. What's the first thing you kill from your to-do list forever?

@TheGBreaker that moment hits different when someone from a country you've never heard of replies to something you posted at 2am

Twitter is fun when you realize people from everywhere around the world are seeing you.

@Venkydotdev right? sonnet would've covered 90% of use cases at a lower cost. opus 4.8 feels like a flex more than a practical release

claude should have released sonnet 4.7 instead of opus 4.8

@AKirtesh D for me. main job's stable so i'm not losing sleep, but the side project is where i'm actually building something real

Monday poll for devs 👇 What’s your main focus this week? A. Shipping code/features B. Learning new tech/AI C. Fixing technical debt D. Side project work E. Career growth / Networking F. Something else Reply with letter

@imsethidev building CalcQuest solo — logic puzzle game, 25k users, zero paid ads, 3 years, 150 countries. consistently shipping is basically the whole game

Building in public? Share your GitHub in the replies. I'm looking for interesting projects, underrated builders, and people shipping consistently. If I like what you're working on, I'll follow along and help amplify it.

@kapilansh_twt chatgpt now, honestly. google's gotten so bad with seo spam that it's faster to just ask. weird how fast that flipped

be honest when you need an answer these days do you Google it or ask ChatGPT

@yashnagrale_ 100 paying users, no contest. followers don't pay rent, and 10k random followers won't give you real feedback either

Be honest, would you rather have: - 100 paying users - 10,000 followers

@pcshipp honestly depends what you're optimizing for. opus 4.8 still feels most reliable for nuance and structure. gpt-5.4 is faster but occasionally sloppier

To write an article, which LLM is better? - Opus 4.8 - GPT-5.4 - Gork 4.1 - Llama - Gemini 3 pro

@android_poet @DuckDuckGo three months for a rejection email is genuinely brutal. at least they closed the loop i guess

finally after three months Thanks @DuckDuckGo

@tunguz scrum masters were the people who scheduled meetings about why we weren't hitting our sprint goals. the role wrote its own obituary

Do you guys remember "Scrum Masters"? What was that all about???

@kumxem it's where people go to escape from linkedin's corporate performance art. which is exactly why it works

twitter is like the smoking area for social media

@0xPrajwal_ nothing technically, but my productivity on a watch screen would drop to absolute zero

what's stopping you from coding like this ?

@lakshyalark being a startup with that much gpu compute and enterprise contracts changes what the word startup means a bit

Anthropic is still a startup btw

@alphafox this has been happening quietly for a while. organic reach on x feels like it's basically dead unless you're already huge

Users are reporting a 90% cut in impressions in the last few days over normal impressions as well as tanking follower numbers. What is going on?? - platform dying? - throttling? - impression redirection? - crummy feed? - bored users? I’m not sure but this is not normal. But I am sure reaction videos will save the platform, thank god for that new feature….. /s And why are communities still working? Maybe the killed impressions instead of communities by mistake.

@BillyM2k honestly same. the flow of describing what you want and watching it take shape is kinda addictive. pure coding feels slower now

tbh i really like building stuff with ai i don’t really miss coding that much

@Venkydotdev the gap between what devs expect and what these tools actually do is real. the demos are almost always cherry-picked scenarios

claude and codex engineers are unable to reach expectations of devs.
