I'm building an app called "FocusFish". It's a focus timer app. - Users focus and build an aquarium. - Each time they focus, they earn coins🪙. - With coins, they can purchase fish🐠. - If the user doesn't focus, the fish will die🥲. - They add plants, stones, bamboo, and more🌱. This is just an MVP. I need to test it more, so your feedback will help me take FocusFish to the next level.

@thekevinqi Your journey was good o have question how this makes you ROI? Same thing Grok can do with freely Why do u need burn 70k ?

We've burned $75K of our money building this. 🔥 For a long time, it looked like a terrible idea. Now we’re finally close to an inflection point. My name is Kevin Qi, and this is the story of Festa: In early 2024, my cofounder asked me what I wanted to do with the rest of my 20s. I had a great career at Amazon, but deep down I knew I had always wanted to build something of my own. I started coding as a kid just to build things, launched websites that got real users, and even tried starting a company at 17. It failed. But that was the point. So we started meeting weekly, throwing around ideas. Factory Automation. ERP AI. Hardware. Eventually we landed on something crazy: What if AI could coordinate live events in real time? I built the first version during nights and weekends. We tested it at our own event in SF. It worked. More importantly, people instantly “got it.” That was enough conviction for me. I quit Amazon. Then reality hit: • YC rejection • failed marketing • $2K in ads → 0 customers • first wedding sale: $130 We even fumbled a $1K+ deal after messing up pricing. But we kept going. We rebuilt the product and shifted entirely to content + UGC. Over the last 6 months: • hundreds of videos tested • figured out what actually converts • acquisition cost now down to ~$7 • and finally approaching potential repeatable profitability Which brings us to today. We just launched the biggest redesign of Festa yet and for the first time, anyone can try it instantly as a guest to a "fake investor and startup conference event”.

@odd_joel Good point

@pcshipp telegram/discord channels are clever for quick commands. for a full native terminal on mobile though, Moshi is worth a look - mosh protocol keeps sessions alive through network switches and sleep, plus voice-to-terminal so you can speak commands instead of tiny-keyboard typing

Claude Code just went mobile Control your coding session via Telegram & Discord message your code anytime, anywhere.

@Tanujcbe Language learning app

Hey devs, I’m ready to invest $100 in ads. Which platform is best for ROI? - Meta ads - Apple ads - TikTok ads - Google ads

@pcshipp Today I invested $100 on TikTok. Hope to see some results.

@zzarcon You can do better than mine

How do people make $10K MRR or even $100K MRR while I’m still stuck at $9 MRR? - $9 MRR - $2 revenue - 198 New users - 206 Active users No idea how to start marketing

@samdersingh Thanks for suggestion

@pcshipp Meta has the best RoI, tried all of the above. Only Meta worked.

@archi_gen Organic very hard this time

@pcshipp Keep the $100 do organic till hit 5k MRR trust me
