day 14/30 making a mobile app
yesterday we got our first dollar !! from idea to app store to $$ in 13 days.
and this morning another $25 in subs came in ($30 MRR btw)
already we are on track for $100 in revenue and 1,000 downloads by the end of the 30 days.
today i made another marketing video to get more users to the app for $0 on my tiktok and reposted to instagram. instagram is getting 3k views each and tiktok is slow (300 view each) but my content is made for instagram mainly so thats fine.
slow and steady i’ll push out 1 video per day for the rest of this week, to make sure views still coming in, then next week may increase to 2/ days. main thing is to not panic if videos don’t do well.
assuming you warmed up account properly its likely the content isnt that great, so make it better!! :) its in your control. which means its not over until you give up.
i’m going to continue tweaking my apps onboarding later today, this morning i was mainly working on my saas @postbridge_ as i’m pushing out a huge update for that next week.
also today i built the app for play store and now need to run a closed test for 2 weeks before we go live there so that’ll be after the challenge.
time to keep going now :)

@adamgusky It's more like 99% of people pay to get programming tasks done. Nothing will change

@jackfriks @postbridge_ Would love this. My reels would go from remotion straight to postbridge

i made a social media scheduling tool in the last few months and thousands of people (including myself) use it every week
now i think its time to ask, how many people would use an API version of @postbridge_ ?
please reply to this with your usecase!

Following up on our discussion about TT/IG views :) Week later I see IG views up from ~5 to ~120. TT stays the same ~700, sometimes ~200. @jackfriks @pureshimon @indieshatau @RalliPi . I keep going/testing

@KSlazinski How are the proceeds distributed across your apps? Do they all make approximately the same or is one app making most of the money?
English

@marioapps_com Was the same for me before AI. Now I let AI design the complete app before I add missing logic.
English

I know a lot of people start with design. For me, I start with coding. I think designing something from nothing is difficult. If you have a working app, designing it becomes easier. Maybe it's quite contrary, but it's what I always do. I make the app first and make it pretty later.
So If I want to make a team with someone, I definitely want a designer who can also code in SwiftUI. It will definitely build things faster. So I make the crappy but functional app, and he/she will make it pretty.

@screenfluent Oh, I somehow thought the temp job was already terminated and that's why you habe to make it as an indie hacker as fast as possible. Sorry my bad.
English

Thanks Ralf, seems you missed my posts about me getting temp job and most recent one about extension. I just need to speed the process up as I don't know if the job will be continued next year and even if it will. I need to move out from my parents house ASAP. x.com/screenfluent/s…

Hi, I'm Szymon and for the last 9 years, I've been recovering from burnout, depression and debts.
I turned huge online success into years of struggle and dragging the burden of my wrong decisions every day.
But I realized that I have to prioritize getting out of debt as it's sucking out my life energy and my family needs me present not only physically but emotionally and mentally.
So, this is the day that I'm officially starting my documented in public journey to become a free man again without stressing out when some due payments pop up.
I'm trying to learn from successful indie hackers and instead of spending my precious time and energy on making something I don't know if it would work, I'm starting with an MVP by publishing this post with a very simple question:
Are you interested in subscribing to my newsletter and getting weekly updates on my progress?
I'm going to post daily updates here but the current state of the X algorithm tells me that they will be hidden from most of you. That's why I got the idea that maybe I could find a few people who would become my companions to feel less lonely on this journey.
Drop a comment if you'd like to join me on this wild ride and sign up for my newsletter.

@RikNieu Add it to producthunt in any case. Also add it to all directories you know. Also create pages that position it as a keywords everywhere that you can use on mobile.
Only then you should move on. Of course the usage is deopping if you only show the product to your followers once.

Daily usage for wordsnapper.com
Is dropping 🤔
I wanted to let it run for a while to discover things to improve before adding it on ProductHunt, but it doesn’t seem to have much demand
Should I still add it on ProductHunt or move on? 🤔
