My first app just crossed $5,070 in proceeds! From zero to $5K+ in ~5.5 months. The journey started slow but it's picking up serious momentum now 🔥 Super grateful for every download and supporter. Building in public and shipping consistently really pays off.
People online be like: “I solo-built 2 apps to $150k MRR” 😭 Meanwhile behind the scenes: full team massive ad spend influencer campaigns low/no profit eventually shut down 🥴 Algorithms love success hooks, not the painful reality. My first app: ~2 months to hit first $100 MRR My second app: ~9-10 months just to figure out a viral format + build an organic content farm finally hit ~$8k/month Most people don’t show the boring middle part. Stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s highlight reel. Focus on your own product. Keep shipping. Keep marketing. Keep going.
I usually don’t engage with posts like this, but I want to clarify a few things. SleekDemo uses Siddharth’s code as a foundation with proper credits given. The project is MIT licensed, which legally allows rebranding, modification, and redistribution. SleekDemo also includes many additional features, bug fixes, better UX, reactive webcam, frame borders, and more. Before making claims publicly, it would have been better to check the website and credits properly. Calling it out without context makes it look like hate rather than criticism. I respect Siddharth’s work, and I’ve given credit where it’s due. But turning this into a personal attack is unfair

Such scammers are the reason why Open Source is slowly turning into a pile shit full of AI bros. Literal mantra to their success is to fork an open source project and deceive people into thinking that they made it themselves. No wonder why Indians are seen as scammers.
