After months of work, Last Echo is on the App Store. It's a swipe game. But it isn't really about surviving. It's about who you slowly become when surviving is the only thing left. I made it because I wanted to know who I'd become. apps.apple.com/us/app/last-ec…

@pmitu From my experience - they won't 😅 You can get a few downloads from family, friends, and App Store searches, but that is negligible. Today, the moat is no longer development, but distribution.

damn, if you don't market your vibe coded app, how will customers find it?

As a father of two small kids, 9-5 job, and 2 acres of land (~8000m2) with a pear orchard, I agree with you 100%. For me, the most important thing is finding a time slot and defending it as if it were the only one you have. Because it usually is. Mine is early morning, before the kids wake up and before the 9-5 job.

A 9-5 job plus a family is not an excuse. → It is the filter → It is the real leverage → It is why most quit → It is why my 4 hours matter more Ambition without that friction is just talk. How do you protect the hours when everything else wants them?

@IAmPascio Kern. An app for people who read non-fiction but remember almost none of it after some time. Still early days, but really excited about this one. kern.cards

builders, share your project i'll bookmark the best ones

@13_narcissus @shipordie_ Congrats man! Wish you all the luck!

First startup shipped after many years of excuses, procrastination, fears and other psychological bugs. Better later than never. The very moment when i decided to join @shipordie_ crew pulled a trigger in me to push forward until i will achieve my goals. It was the best decision in my professional live by far! Thank you all builders/dreamers from this X community for helping me floating above all frictions. Great people around here! ❤️ Special thanks to @marclou and @jackfriks for making this possible. I count on you, guys, from now on.

@ruhul_swe I am working on Kern - an app for retaining knowledge from non-fiction books. Kern turns any book you've finished into five minutes of daily recall. Feel free to check it out - kern.cards

@JoPetric What are you building currently?

Back in late 2016 my second app, Define It, hit around 90k downloads. I only spent about $300 on Facebook ads… but my monetization was terrible, so I barely made anything. Those were different times.

@TTrimoreau Good old stackoverflow :D It was not that long ago when having high reputation on stackoverflow could land you pretty nice gigs and jobs.

If Claude/ ChatGPT/ Gemini disappeared tomorrow. Who would you actually reach out to for help?

Is that boring "Hey X, I want to connect with more founders ..." really working better, or is that just something AI suggests you do? Why is everyone doing this?

@appi404 Hey Appi

@JoPetric hey josip

Hey founders 👋 If your product solves a real problem, drop it here and tell us what problem it solves. I’ll rate the usefulness of as many as I can. Do the same. Founders support founders. Deal? 🤝

What are you building today?

@omarvvvr Finding users was always a skill you needed to succeed 😆 But before AI, developing was the first big moat. Now we have a bridge (even though it is not always the safest bridge) over that moat.

Now building an app is really simple. Getting users is the real skill. What’s harder for you??

I even found a promo video we created for the game. It's fun to remember these times 😅 youtu.be/5zHCwI-lbJI?si…

When I released my first game back in 2015 (Comic Battle), I had a spreadsheet of every blogger, online magazine, and anyone who wrote about games. On the launch date, sent emails to all of them. Got almost nothing back. 11 years later, I'm releasing apps again. The spreadsheet approach feels like a different era. TikTok, Reddit, X, and UGC seem to be where discovery actually happens now. Founders who've shipped recently, what actually moved the needle for you?

I have locked the design approach for Kern - an app for retaining knowledge from non-fiction books. Perhaps it is not the most usual design approach for app that relates to books and reading, but I really like it. What do you think?

Be Honest: WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING TODAY 👇

@acadictive Really interesting book. I almost read it in one sitting. Enjoy!

Reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. Such a great read so far. One of those books that makes you pause every few pages and think about your own life.

@danieldwalton Thank you man! Let's connect

@JoPetric you done well buddy proud of you

@danieldwalton Hey man, thanks. Doing well today...a lot of work on my day job :D How are you doing?

@JoPetric Good to have you here buddy how you doing

Hey Founders, I’m building Kern, a book retention app, in public and want to connect with other folks working on SaaS, AI tools, automation, web apps, and product development. Drop what you’re building (and a link if you want feedback) 👇
