I can’t add my app link on my TikTok.
it says “action can’t be completed” and it’s been like that for months.
same goes for a lot of devs on X.
but you already know…
Chinese algorithm ain’t sh*t to a G.
so you gotta AIKIDO your way out of it:
make the CTA in your bio so damn good viewers end up typing your app name into the App Store themselves.
generated $7.2k with no clickable link btw 🧟

cal ai might be dead but looksmaxxing apps are unaffected
apple will never drop a feature that objectively rates your attractiveness

Apple killed 1000s of startups not just CalAI

learnings over the past 2 months of hiring and firing people:
- down to earth over high ego. always
- hire people who at least know what a startup is and how it's different from a normal company
- operating the company as a frat is the funniest thing ever
- do not outsource marketing or paid ads before you make your first $10k
- cut money-driven people within days, not weeks
- take care of your employees (food, transportation, housing stipends)
- eliminate all corporate bullshit when it comes to operating a company (slack, jira, etc.)

Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
My apps Been stuck in review for 12+ days. Had so much momentum, then overnight everything got cooked.
Ads cooked.
Influencer deals cooked.
momentum cooked.
Most people would take this as a sign to quit. I take it as a test.
Every setback is an opportunity to prove how badly you want it.
See ya at the top

@shivan20222 @Mauro_Botanes @kyanbuilds interesting, I had the same refund rate few month ago but it was only on 30-40 transactions (5 of them refunded). Is yours at the higher scale? If not maybe it’s not high refund rate, maybe review input during onboarding?

@Mauro_Botanes @kyanbuilds @0xdarito i just got my payments paused because of this, what steps did you take to solve?
English

$30k revenue from just 20k downloads is insane conversion
gentler streak is the perfect example of high-LTV execution
their onboarding is pure storytelling:
- gamified character interactions
- smooth explanations of core features
- high-converting 50% off paywall right at the end
you don't need millions of downloads if your onboarding funnel converts this well

@degensing @irfansenercom talent is the most underrated equaling Eastern Europe salary / quality wise. VC market is in its nascent phase, regulation is not important if you’re going international from there. I predict venture inflow will 10x next 2-3 years because of success of companies like higgsfield
English

@irfansenercom Super interesting. Biggest constraint there right now: talent, capital, or regulation?

@0xdarito It’s evening in Chile and morning in Hong Kong. You can always choose the jurisdiction that works best for your business 🙂

@MattCowlin Very weird, I used to get my expected payment date on Thursdays, and money in my bank account on Friday morning. But now it’s shifted by a day most likely I’d get the money only on Monday… really inconvenient
English

Still nothing. Anyone been paid from Apple yet? Very unusual
Matt@MattCowlin
RevenueCat Says Apple Payment date is the 4th, this month Apple say it's 5th! Never seen that before! What do we think is correct? cc @HHaandr

@Mauro_Botanes @kyanbuilds Is it possible because of sudden high growth rate?
English

@kyanbuilds Do you know why it is?
Are you sure it is app2web?
What is your refund rate?
English

@kyanbuilds @ozistack its impossible that the reason is just the revenue jump, maybe somebody reported something?
English

@IgorBlinkk @gbbengga chill out with this attitude, it will come and bite your ass in the future

nobody in my family has ever left kazakhstan. i just flew half the globe to SF.
a week ago, i was in my village of 2,000 people with 3mb/s internet.
a year ago, i didn't even know what a SAFE note was.
today, i'm 17, standing in sf with $300k raised from top investors to build my startup.
now please, go tell someone else that staying delusional is stupid.

Getting $410K in my account felt incredible. Here’s what I did:
- paid off the mortgage
- cleared all family loans
- bought cars for both my parents and my wife’s parents
- traveled a lot
- leveled up our lifestyle
- got a budget to chase ideas without worrying about the outcome
- gained confidence in myself
Should I regret not selling the app for more? No. It was a life-changing sum. And that’s all that matters.
I believe the biggest numbers are still ahead. This was a powerful launchpad that opened up a whole new horizon for me. I couldn’t even imagine I was capable of building something valuable. This deal gave me the confidence that I can create great apps used by thousands of people around the world.

6 years ago my app was growing and I accepted the first offer. I had $34k/mo and was offered $410k. I took the money, confident I could build many successful apps with it. In reality, the opposite happened. The next 5 apps all failed. The app I sold grew to $80k/mo just 6 months later (organic traffic). Always think carefully before taking a big offer. Large sums cloud your judgment. Stay focused.
