@woocassh freelancers in germany pay 70% tax on these 1000€ btw, ask yourself why no one is building there.

Funny enough, my first app was a complete failure. I tried to revive it a few times, but the patient showed no signs of life.
But I took a lesson from it, failures are lessons too. You learn from them. My second app turned out to be much more successful. With it I crossed the $1000 MRR Club threshold.
So don’t be afraid to admit your mistakes. Sometimes it’s better to shut down a project and go build something new.

Today, I removed Atuner AI Photo Generator from the AppStore I'm giving up 🥺 I don't want to be just another AI photo generator selling tokens. All attempts at improvement have proven futile. This marks the failure of the startup ⛔️ #buildinpublic #iosdev

Fun fact - if you have a recent commit that mentions OpenClaw in a json blob, Claude Code will either refuse your request or bill you extra money.
This is an empty repo, I'm just calling Claude Code directly. Insanity.

@eliebakouch This shit costs more than GLM 5.1 and performs worse
What the fuck?

new mistral model: 128B dense with an arch from 3 years ago (llama 2), very low context (128k), priced higher than deepseek v4 pro (1.6T total params, 1M context) and every other oss model that outperforms it
this is very sad

Mistral Medium 3.5 is out and it's a dense 128B model

@BenjDicken OH HELL NAHHHH
If there’s one company that could make things worst than Microsoft, it is AWS.
They would turn “create a pull request” into a 20 page setup guide and 5 different dashboards with different UIs
And somehow charge you for every second the PR stays open

@eersnington @theo everything that Microsoft touches turns to shit.

Tanner begged NPM to take down a squatted "tanstack" package that was being held ransom against him.
48 days later, it was compromised and shipped malware.
There is no excuse. NPM needs to make significant changes.
Tanner Linsley@tannerlinsley
.@SH20RAJ, we could really use the `tanstack` npm package name. We've proactively reached out via email many times in the past with no response but are now getting complaints from unsuspecting users and agents mistaking it for the official TanStack CLI. Please respond 😊

Some people have asked what my actual profit looks like after all fees and taxes for this app: - Total revenue: $6,000/month - Minus 7% tax and 15% Apple/PlayStore/LS fee (22% total) → 78% remaining - $6,000 × 0.78 = $4,680 - Applying a 92% profit margin (after server, AI bill, buy phone...) → $4,680 × 0.92 = $4,305.6 👉 Final net profit: $4,305.6/month

My second app just hit $6,000 MRR (across both app and web).
I’m still sticking to my thesis: build 10 apps that each reach $5k/month, then automate everything so they generate income even while I sleep.
Right now, if I exclude Apple fees, my profit margin is around 92% across all my apps.
As I’ve said, I’m an indie hacker and solo founder, so I optimize for profit because I’m not VC-backed.
Alex Nguyen@alexcooldev
Best question. Right now I have 3 apps, and almost all of them already have about 70% of the marketing automated. Before that, I hired students to create content and post on different social media platforms, which helped increase the revenue quite a lot. My second app has already reached $5K MRR (both web and mobile) after about 5 months since launch, and I barely have to do much besides checking the monthly views and revenue results. So my goal now is to scale to 10 apps and repeat the same process. If each app reaches around $5K, that would already be $50K/month. I’m an indie hacker (i love freedom), not backed by VCs, so profit is more important to me than high revenue.

@cneuralnetwork @heliumbrowser Why not firefox + uBlock? Freedom matters.

@TiffanyFong No, destiny does not exist. If that were true, that would mean that some people are destined to go through horrible things while others are destined to have amazing lives.
I don't think something like that would be fair.

do you believe that “everything happens for a reason” ?

My wife cried watching this video.
@thepatwalls and his Avenger team turned my boring life into a movie with a new series called "How I Work".
It's my favorite format on Starter Story.
There’s less focus on work and more on daily life. It feels more genuine, and I hope they keep making more of these.
Thank you @gus_tiffer for handling everything and @editorartem for the brilliant editing 👏

~1 month ago we filmed a new project for @starter_story with @marclou we weren't 100% sure how it would turn out... new ideas and formats are always so hard to predict. But I'm SUPER proud of the outcome: the story and the style are awesome. (shoutout @editorartem srsly, best in the game) can't wait to bring you more stuff like this thanks for trusting us with this project, Marc 🤝 Go give it a watch!
