BillBud is live!🚀 Download link: play.google.com/store/apps/det… Bllbud is a free app to split bills, track shared expenses and settle up with friends. Built for every dinner, trip and outing where someone always ends up doing the math alone. After a long time of building, testing, breaking things and fixing them again, it's finally out in the world. The simplest way to manage expenses with people you spend time with. #BillBud #Launch

Posted in a plumber subreddit last night! Got roasted first. Fair enough. But then some said: "just curious what you wish existed that would save time each week" "please build a scheduling function" That's two real signals buried under the noise. #buildinpublic

@wickedguro What I find interesting is that even at $100k plus MRR, you're still placing small bets alongside the main product. Curious what changed the most between $10k and $100k MRR Was it distribution, the product itself, or just staying consistent long enough for everything to compound?

I made $109,156 in May 2026. 🦞 Postiz — $107K 🦀 agent-media — $2K Shooting for $120k for next month.

One thing I've realized recently: Most product ideas don't fail because nobody wants them. They fail because nobody wants them enough to change their current behavior. Talking to users has made me think much more about habits and workflows than features. #buildinpublic

@vitaliidodonov The last line really stands out. A lot of builders assume a large audience comes first, but it seems like solving a real problem consistently is what creates leverage over time. The audience often follows afterward.

I made $3.36M in May 2026. 🏦 Stan Store - $3.12M 💼 Stanley LinkedIn - $134K 🤳 Stanley Instagram - $122K In the last 5 years, I've made $600M+ for my customers. And got 11.5K followers on X. All I'm trying to say is: If you don't have a following here, it doesn't matter.

@stevenpdev Interesting to see the breakdown of expenses alongside the revenue growth. A lot of people (including me) focus on reaching $40k MRR, but posts like this are a good reminder that scaling is just as much about margins, taxes, ad efficiency, and operations as it is about revenue.

01 Jun — Hyvä kesä ☀️ We are now at around $40k/month. July: $0 → August: $709 → September: $1,372 → October: $1,689 → November: $1,806 → December: $3,003 → January: $5,754 → February: $7,166 (+24%) → March: $12,812 (+78%) → April: $21,041 (+64%) → May: $40,239 (+91%) But this time, I want to focus on another side of the business: expenses and tax. Again, this month we continued scaling Google Ads. Now Google app spend is around $22k/month, which is around $750/day. Then we have Apple App Store and Google Play Store fees, which are 15% for renewals, so that is around $6k. Then we have VAT for each country, which is around 0–25%, depending on the country. For us, it is around $2k because most of our revenue comes from the USA, where VAT is zero. Then there are other costs like RevenueCat, around $400, software purchases, mainly lifetime deals from AppSumo, around $1k, and some other things around $2k. We also need to pay income tax in Finland, which I am not sure about yet, but it might be around 20%. Then there is YEL, including pension, around 24.40%. And if you plan to hire someone, it will often cost around $2k–$4k/month in Finland. So be prepared for all these costs. Right now, Google Ads is our main way to scale, and ROAS is around 100%. I think this is okay because it helps with app ranking in the store. Now, most users are on yearly subscriptions, so hopefully we are still in business next year. Normally, around 25–50% of users still renew, so it can compound next year. I still go to the swimming pool around 3 times a week plan to do more running, gym next month. On the building side, I mostly focused on small Android bugs this month. These bugs are annoying because normally I cannot reproduce them myself, and they only happen on a user’s phone. So it is time-consuming to fix them. Also this month, I asked one of my friends to test TikTok with me. What’s next: I will spend some time learning TikTok with my friend. I think Google Ads is okay now. I will still slowly increase it depending on the ROAS. I also plan to try Apple Ads. Apple Ads recently added a second slot for ads in the App Store, so the price may be cheaper than before. Let’s give it a try again.

Finding a new place to move in while building on a side. Funny how changing your environment makes you notice things differently. A lot of productivity advice is about apps and systems, but lately I'm realizing how much physical space affects focus and execution. #buildinpublic

Moving to a new place while building a product on the side. Lesson: your environment affects your output more than your tools do. Setting up the space this week. Back to shipping next week. #buildinpublic

@alpeshznakrani Exciting! Would love to connect when you start exploring mobile. I specialize in KMM one codebase, native Android + iOS. Currently building at a 20M+ user platform. Feel free to DM whenever mobile is on the roadmap!

@potatomiooo Purely for web for now but soon for mobile

The revenue motion that does not scale past $50K MRR. And the one that does.

@div_supply The pattern recognition from client work is something you can't get from building in isolation. Are any of your three products mobile or purely web?

@potatomiooo Yeah, that’s one of the biggest advantages of client work. You’re not guessing, you keep seeing the same problems repeat, and eventually some of them start looking like products

Since the beginning of 2026 I’ve been launching and testing a few products, most didn’t work, but three of them did. Today they crossed $8k MRR combined :) Two of them are upsells from my agency services, which has been a great way to add more recurring revenue around work we already do Still early in this new journey, but it’s pretty cool to see small bets start turning into something real

@CalebPanza @thepatwalls @starter_story @MisterMattRoth @postforme_dev That's the only way. What's the biggest lever that's driving the jump from $500 to $10K distribution or product improvements?

@potatomiooo @thepatwalls @starter_story @MisterMattRoth @postforme_dev We’re working hard on it!

Do you want to be in a Starter Story video? Looking for founders open to breaking down their P&L on camera. I'm talking full behind the curtain on: – revenue sources – ad costs, compute costs – margin, profit – take home & how much you're saving Nobody is talking about this online, and we want to change that. DM me or reply to this if you're interested or know someone who might be open to doing this. could be huge.

@CalebPanza @thepatwalls @starter_story @MisterMattRoth @postforme_dev Going from $500 MRR to nearly $10k MRR within a year while building in public is honestly a huge proof of how much consistency compounds over time. Also feels underrated how powerful it is when technical founders actually stay close to the product and users directly.

@thepatwalls @starter_story @MisterMattRoth and I built @postforme_dev about 1 year ago. On Jan 1, we crossed $500 MRR and this month are on track to cross $10k MRR. We’re both technical cofounders and just turned 30 this year. Project is open source and we’re building in public.

@StefanRows Congratulations! It’s the moment where projects stop feeling “theoretical” and start feeling like real products people are willing to pay for.

Wohoooo!!! First time that I’ve crossed $100 MRR with all of my projects combined 🥳🥹 Couldn’t have asked for a better start for my holiday!!

@vaaselene One API for 27 platforms with unified schema is genuinely hard to pull off, the normalization alone across different data structures must have been painful. How are you handling rate limit differences across platforms?

launched April 2026, Just crossed $1k total revenue next is $1k mrr 🚀

@muso_am @Rasmic Altovia looks clean, AI + flight search is a smart combo. Noticed it's iOS only right now. Any plans for Android? Asking because I build KMM apps, one codebase that ships native Android + iOS both. Could cut your Android launch timeline significantly.

@Rasmic I’m just crossed $9 mrr though

pls... stop being the founder that always has to mention their businesses MRR

@alpeshznakrani "AI that ships Laravel apps" is a bold positioning. Curious, where does mobile fit in this stack for your clients? Or is it purely web for now?

This is the engagement I run most at Devlyn. Revenue motion rebuild for founders who have crossed $50K MRR and are still closing every deal themselves. devlyn.ai

@manoj_ahi Congrats! The jump from first dollar to consistent MRR is the hardest part. What was the one thing that clicked for UniqueSide growth?

Crossed $4K MRR 🚀🚀

@yabsssai Yeah! At first it was just a random date I told my friends, but then they kept asking: “Bro, what happened? Is it live?” You can delay it once or twice max. After that, this becomes a pretty good shipping motivator.

@potatomiooo i'm curious about the random launch date you told your friends, did setting that actually help you stay on track and get it shipped last month?

Some time back, I had an idea. Last month, I finally shipped it. Just because I started implementing. I even told a few friends a random launch date just to finish it. I guess building something is far more important than planning something perfectly. #buildinpublic #software

5 days of posting! What changed: started thinking about needs first, solutions second. What didn't change: BillBud still live, still free, still solving the bill-splitting problem cleanly. Trying some small consistent steps! #buildinpublic #androiddev
