@mjackson I actually predict the opposite. Web based apps will become the norm.

Prediction: synthetic native app architectures will not survive much longer. Hybrid web/native apps and stuff like react native and flutter were always an attempt at making native apps easier to build for non-native builders. They’re much less appealing in an AI coding world.

@jakemor @muso_am @levelsio @Superwall Do you have GA4/Firebase analytics integration for server events for Google Ads for example?

@dkt201474 @muso_am @levelsio @Superwall correct

$5,000 to anyone who convinces @levelsio to use @Superwall

@jakemor @muso_am @levelsio @Superwall You mean using your sdk and analytics is all free as long as you don’t use paywall to a/b test? You don’t charge past 2,500 usd?

@muso_am @levelsio @Superwall there is tons of value, if you don't use RC paywalls Superwall does everything they do for free. if you use SW paywalls we charge 1% of revenue, only for users who go through our paywalls.

@arielmichaeli How does this compare to audiobooks? I don’t see a lot of audiobooks making this kind of money. I wonder if it’s distribution of production hurdles.

Book apps are not where I expected to find fresh revenue. 7 book apps launched in the last 8 months already crossed $20K/mo worldwide. The top one is at ~$110K/mo. Reading is an old habit. People keep finding new ways to package it. Source: Appfigures

@andrewxroas Are you just doing meta ads?

Drop your questions about ads for apps And I'll reply with a tweet

@tdinh_me What about pn.app ? (E.g publish now)

Anyone got a better short domain for sale? I’m looking for something nice for my website builder app Currently it is *.mksite.app Very long and ugly

@andrewxroas Are you running ads for play store apps?

My CPC on google ads is usually $2-4 Today Google decided it's gonna be $250 for one click Just a subtle 100x increase

@HHaandr @jeiting @RevenueCat Was just being dramatic :) but I’m glad you guys are on top of it. Thanks!

@dkt201474 @jeiting @RevenueCat Hey there! Don't think this has anything to do with 'demo code', but definitely a bug: I just reproduced it with this same app (which showed $1.2M in 28D revenue, which would be nice, but is far from accurate). I've let the team know

Apparently, this is how you go viral nowadays 🤞

@plahteenlahti @RevenueCat Using RevenueCat SDK version 5.77.0 I know the change you are referring to, but this one is a bug. No matter the week I’m getting the same $234,722. To reproduce just click on RC last 28 days revenue and wait 5 seconds

@dkt201474 @RevenueCat Hey! What version of the app are you using? Recent version changed to using UTC like the dashboard

@RevenueCat please fix your 28 days

@ivesparrowai What do you mean animated ads? Video slideshows?

For the last 1.5 weeks, I've been building a creative production pipeline for Meta Ads. Today with different formats (1:1 and 9:16) and multiple localizations I generated 900+ videos. Around 50 of them were actually unique creatives. A year ago this would've cost thousands of dollars and at least 2 weeks of work. What AI still does poorly (for me): - UGC. It's still not good enough. The only way I've managed to make it work is when the avatar stays silent. Then there's at least a chance people think it's real. - ideation. I still haven't figured out how to make AI consistently brainstorm truly good ad concepts. What AI does surprisingly well: - animated ads (which I prefer anyway – in my experience they often outperform UGC) - subtitles - editing and stitching footage together - localizations - uploading everything to Google Drive An incredible amount of production work can already be automated.

@Curlh1 A for sure. Clarity beats everything. In B I don’t even know where CTA button is.

Which paywall do you like more? A B C (none)

@ivesparrowai I know its a lot l, but if you can also have a similar document like ASA for Meta it will be a banger!

3 rules for a successful Meta Ads launch: - optimize for purchases, never clicks or installs - 20-30 creatives is the minimum you need for your first campaign - broad targeting - Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) Works (almost) every time.

@mpappas74 can you please increase Concurrency quota and Monthly Quota for my account? 5 concurrent requests and 1000 hours per month is too limited. I can easily clear 5000 hours a day. Please check your DM. If there is Enterprise plan would love to hear about it as well.

Hot take: most voice AI isn't actually understanding speech. It's reading a transcript of it. There's a meaningful difference. And it's why voice pipelines keep failing at the moments that matter most. Dropping something tomorrow that takes a very different approach 👀

@sebuzdugan @modulate_ai Are you getting a lot of 5xx from their endpoint in your product in production?

@modulate_ai accuracy charts miss endpointing errors which matter more than wer in production calls

if you picked deepgram for accuracy, look at this comparison. if you picked it for price, also look at this comparison.

@wickedguro Which tool do you use to buy backlinks?

A few months ago, when I was on $15k MRR, my wife asked me every month, "How much money do we have?" And I always tried to justify why we have the same or less. > We just had a flight here > We had your mother and booked a hotel > We spent a lot on our latest hotel > We bought stuff to our dauther But the reality was that I spent tons of money back in the business: buying backlinks, paying influencers, hiring freelancers, trying new marketing stuff. Because I always looked at $15k as just $15k. Because I know that every $1k a month that I make will translate into $36k in valuation when I sell. And those early investments brought me to $113k MRR and a valuation of $4,068,000. (showing the yearly revenue because Stripe monthly is broken for today)

95% of enterprise AI deployments fail. That’s not a tooling problem. It’s a design problem. In this clip, our CEO @mpappas74 breaks down why most AI products never make it past the demo stage - and what businesses actually need instead. Not another “AI employee” to manage. Tools that fit into real workflows and solve specific problems. At @modulate_ai, that’s the lens we build through.

@jarredsumner Before migration from zig to rust did you have rust experience?

what should we do for the bun 1.4 video

@drbarnard Is it only Apple or does that include android as well?

Been hearing from more and more people that ratings from prompts during onboarding often get deleted. Not sure what the heuristics are for that, but Apple does seem to be starting to discourage this practice. (This is one of the tactics I’ve bristled at, but embraced from a “don’t hate the player, hate the game” perspective. When the App Store incentivizes certain practices and most other apps are doing it, you’re probably leaving money on the table if you don’t at least experiment with it.)
