When will the MRR gods bless me with 100 subs? Pure vanity number I know and means nothing but I seemed to have plateaued? How long did it take you to get your first 100 paying users? #buildinpublic #solodeveloper

I celebrated a while ago getting 10k+ downloads across IOS and Android but didn't even realise I'm up the next tier on the playstore!! I always thought it was 1k+ then 10k+, honestly was not aware of 5k+ downloads and what a lovely surprise! Win of the day. 🥳

@gabriel_mlx this is too true and it's no longer the 'idea' and hope people find it, it's how can you 'sell' the idea first.

#1 Distribution > Product. Unfortunately (or fortunately to some), the cost of mobile app production has decreased so much that it's become a commodity. Distribution is the new moat.

real talk, builders: be honest: why are you actually building a SaaS? - for the money or - to solve a real problem?

I don't think onboarding is always needed. There's definitely a case for just letting people use a simple app. Also, tooltips (little question marks) are often enough unless onboarding really is needed. Onboarding is another way to upsell though, some people just purchase.

Question: If your app is simple to use (a one function app). Is it productive to still have some onboarding screens or just let the user…. Use the app? 🤔 #VibeCoding #iosdev

@geminicathartic It's too true - I'm actually trying to make things easier by building Tidywell. Spin the wheel and randomise the next chore from your list, focus mode and timed live 'sprints' for body doubling! Tidywell-app.com

Fucked up how the adhd summary is "you bitches can't do anything" ala executive dysfunction but goddamn, is it so clear when you get back on medication. Holy shit having the energy to do multiple chores

Following how much value Sprout: Smart ADHD Task App has provided to the #adhd community, I am including ADHD-friendly features into my new app. Household chores are an area of struggle for ADHDers and Tidywell can help. - Focus mode. - Spin the wheel: beat executive dysfunction. - Live 'sprints': body doubling. Just trying to give back to this amazing community.

I built an ADHD app for my wife. She was waiting months for her diagnosis, and every productivity app made her feel worse, she didn't like any other task apps; tasks disappeared, streaks punished her, nothing just told her what to do next. So I set out to build what she actually needed. 10k users later. #buildinpublic #adhd

exactly. Don't be a perfectionist but also don't throw *** at the wall and see what sticks. Actually think about what you are doing and how it provides value THEN build it fast and polish later.

rule of thumb: shipping a bad product is better than not shipping but shipping fast doesn't mean you half ass it either.

@buildvibex @KaiXCreator The features that are helpful to ADHD actually came from my Facebook group for my other app that is actually ADHD focused. The timed skirting got the most votes!

@PratikSinhatwt monthly subscription but lifetime if overheads, such as AI or database, is low. Customer's appreciate lifetime and it maximises LTV.
