@AveryChernin I've used @tibo_maker 's Outrank.so. though I'd nail the the story before signing up. (not affiliated)

After 3 months I'm "launching" my first app this Sunday. It's currently a webapp, with iOS soon to follow. For distribution I've decided I'll begin with SEO and ASO, and then do a producthunt launch after that. Any good SEO/ASO tools you guys have seen work well?

@thepatwalls tell her to check out @jonahpeake - he's building a community of entrepreneurs - moved here a few months back and enjoying his stuff

This is my sister. She built Starter Story with me, and now she's building an app to $1,000 and documenting the whole process. Check it out!

the part everyone forgets about "just ship it" is that you have to ship it to *other people* not into the internet void

does rejection therapy work? About to find out with all this cold outreach 🥲🫡

Started cold-DMing people on LinkedIn. Unsure how successful this channel will be but worth a shot I guess? otherwise just gonna reply to people on reddit/Quora?

@seraleev got me good it seemed too real a number haha

April 1 – the one day you’re allowed to joke 🙂 I was choosing between two options: announcing a course launch or saying I sold my apps. If I went with the course, I’d be stuck replying to DMs all day 😁 The “selling my apps” story is actually closer to the truth. I do get acquisition offers, but I’ve turned all of them down so far. The $1.68M number is pretty realistic, but I’m not planning to sell. I want to keep building and growing my business. Sorry for the joke, but today felt like the right day for it.

@yashkots2002 agree 100%. @nntaleb would say the same. set yourself to benefit, don't try to predict :)

Everyone thinks they can predict what'll happen in the next '18-24 months' because of AI. As with every major technological boom, we're so early -- it's better to acknowledge that you don't know, be extremely adaptive to signals from customers, and build cool stuff.

@seraleev congrats dude! been following your journey for a while. incredible

It was hard to keep this quiet, the deal has been in the works for a long time. I’ve agreed to sell my app portfolio for $1.68M. Full details tomorrow. Now I need to process it… and figure out what’s next.

if you deal with a lot of spreadsheets (or know anyone) and wonder WTF is going on when you open someone else's, reply here. Got a tool i'm building. Happy to share for free in exchange for feedback 🙏

@garrytan gstack blows BMAD out of the water. Love it - thanks for making it available for everyone. also I got told to apply to YC 👀

those of you who started with cold outreach - where did you start? Linkedin? reddit? X?

@garrytan same, it recommended after first convo with /office-hours. I'm attracted to the romance of bootstrapping though

Only if you stretch the tool to its capabilities would it tell you to consider YC

how many companies took YC SAFEs and then never raised after

the 4 and 2 keys must hate me when i'm testing payments

name a better feeling now time to build the app 😂

A lot of developers obsess about features Users rarely care. They care about solving one small problem quickly

It’s a ship-fast kind of day.

alright, what's the best early distribution strategy for niche b2b self serve. Is it still communities (e.g., a subreddit)? mods are becoming increasingly strict about removing promotion posts

guys we are so in! posted in a relevant subreddit about the outputs and a bunch of people asking for the link. dancing around the living room now

built a lil tool for myself. realized it might be useful for other people. currently sharing as a service before SaaS-ifying it. DM if curious. It's in the spreadsheet-modeling space.
