Software in 2026 is written in md. The next gen of software will be carefully written out md docs. That’s where real value will be added. That’s my bet. At least for 2026…

@Thomasbcn What’s your target CPA on trial ? 3 digits CPM is high 😳

My most profitable CPM are 3digits (and no, not on brand search...) I also battle for those fun sub $1, but that's a side quest Such a ridiculous metric to focus on...

@stevepyoung Best way to get banned by Apple

This is by FAR the best way to do app2web, and the numbers back it up... ✅ Conversion to trial: +3% ✅ Trial Conversion: +7% ✅ Paid Retention: +2.5% ✅ Payment Platform Take Rate: 30% --> 5% (Stripe) ✅ Total Proceeds: +38%

@alexsllater Just did it for my app, can help you put if you want.

🚨 Need help with Meta Attribution for iOS Recently, my attribution got absolutely destroyed. Meta are getting bad signals about my potential customer and ROAS is tanking. If anyone knows a specialist that is super cracked at this stuff and can rebuild our system, please put me in touch! Happy to pay a refferral fee as well.

@alexoakdev This is something I have been realising myself lately

I listen to this audio every few months when I have lost alignment with my vision. 90% of success in business comes down to your personal internal state. I urge you to spend at least some time every day working on your psychology and internal state. Link below (it‘s free)👇

@PhilKiel I always assumed just the link click counted for click-through attribution

Meta just changed what counts as a click. Previously a like, save, share or comment on an ad counted the same as a link click for attribution purposes. That's no longer the case. Only actual link clicks count as click-through now. Here's what's changing and what to do about it →

@maubaron Your review rate seems crazy! Where are you putting the prompts to get such a high volume of high quality reviews. Aside from building a good product

our little mobile app just hit 13,000 reviews with a 4.9 star rating on the app store🔥 it's funny cause i always had delusional belief that i would make it but i'd be lying if i said i expected it to reach this many reviews and scale prayer lock completely changed my life one of the reasons for its success is that i built this for me at a time when i most needed it i wasn't Christian when i started the app but the goal from the beginning was to become one while building it it was the perfect excuse and a great way to combine my passion with faith so naturally researching and making content as well as obsessing myself over this market was something easy and fun to do @ErnestoSOFTWARE and i are nowhere near the level of scale we want to take this app to this app will be making at least $500,000/month by the end of this year, mark my words

@marclou Congrats!

It took 512 days. This is the hardest thing I’ve done. The analytics market is ultra-competitive, and users perceive data as a vitamin, not painkillers. It took 9 months to grow DataFast to $3k MRR. It was so slow, I thought about giving up many times in the first year. I tried a million things, but these 3 really moved the needle: - I built DataFast for me. I forced myself to ask: “What do I really need?” That’s how the analytics + Stripe angle came up. In other words, I niched down. - I polished the onboarding like a madman once I realized 90% of people who signed up didn’t do anything. Fewer steps, faster AHA moment. You’re a drug dealer, and your users are craving. Give them dopamine ASAP. - I built shareable features. I added 𝕏 mentions on top of the traffic chart, built a real-time map, created a stock market app for analytics, and more. My customers did marketing for me. All I had to do was give them a reason to. The hardest part really is the beginning. Once momentum picks up, you’ve already done the hardest part. For perspective, I'm adding more MRR in 4 weeks than I did in 4 months. I don’t know what’s next, but I like challenging myself, so... See you at $1M ARR 🫡

@paulo_kombucha Love it ! Can I spawn different ones for sub agents !

I connected all my Claude Code agents to an animated mascot on my desktop

@sabino_sau14094 How’s the 34.99 / year pricing working out ? Better than 29.99 and 39.99 ?

First trials coming in. I had almost forgotten the feeling of small wins like this

@cashflxws PINS

@marclou Crazy that trustmrr is first now. Congrats Marc!

I made $81,683 in February 2026. ⭐️ TrustMRR — $33.3k 📈 DataFast — $19.7K 🧑‍💻 CodeFast — $14.9K ⚡️ ShipFast — $8.8K 🐥 Twitter — $3.2K 🍜 Indie Page — $530 💨 Zenvoice — $394 🛡️ ByeDispute — $333 🎞️ YouTube — $211 🚀 LaunchViral — $129 🌱 HabitsGarden — $129 📚 WorkbookPDF — $57 My vibe-coded startup marketplace is now my #1 source of income with the 3% acquisition fee. My SaaS DataFast overtook my boilerplate ShipFast and my course CodeFast. And PoopUp did not make revenue this month 😭

@marclou @trust_mrr Hahahaha

@trust_mrr verify

@kasperwaterlake Love the transparency! What kind of plans do you offer and at what price point ?

Our app does +$150K/mo in revenue with $50K profit. These are our exact current numbers: • CPI: $1.43 • Cost Per Trial: $9.43 • CAC: $22.15 • Trial Signup: 15.2% • Trial Conversion: 30.8% • ARPU: $2.30 • AOV: $35.54 Match these and you’ll be able to scale to the same level.

@kasperwaterlake Hahaha peak impulse buy

@nerston_ I think leveraging that they're drunk is the key haha

New paywall test works great :) $0.55 ARPU -> $3.28 ARPU That's roughly a 600% increase from one change

Apparently AI generated ads broke through a new barrier last week. Going to start trying these formats in meta ads: 1. AI UGC 2. AI cartoon animation videos I’ll report on results.

@vahebagdasar Starting ARPU vs ARPU after all the AB tests ?

I built all the paywalls for this app — ask me anything!

@kasperwaterlake > $3 ARPU for a drinking game is crazy

@nerston_ Nah, this is a pretty old app we threw a paywall on. It's a drinking game my CTO build back in the day

@kasperwaterlake You in mobile games now ?

@nerston_ We moved the paywall to mid game instead of before game start
