Johnny Builds Tech

Sprout Smart ADHD task app was built for my wife and it's grown to 10,000+ downloads thanks to an amazing community. Now available in 4 languages. #ADHD #ADHDApp #Neurodivergent #ProductivityApp #ADHDTools

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

@Anas_founder Firebase for analytics and supabase for backend?

As a founder, which one do you use ?🤔 -Supabase - Firebase

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.

I started building an app 90 days ago Today it makes ~$4000 MRR Here's what I would tell myself if I could go back:

@SyedFaraz2405 Building a household chore app with enhanced features: live sprints, leaderboards, child mode (simplified and assign tasks), spin the wheel, focus mode (ADHD) and a way to decorate your house with virtual furniture! tidywell-app.com

I want to follow some new people. If you are a solopreneuer building something cool lets connect. Tell me what you are building in the replies.

@mscode07 can it be both?

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

@mscode07 currently building a household chores app that has enhanced features like timed live chore sprints, spin the wheel randomiser, focus mode and child mode accounts where you can allocate tasks! tidywell-app.com

Drop your project URL Let’s drive some traffic Curious to know what you all are building 👇🏼

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

@ionleu sproutapp.tech - currently building tidywell-app.com

@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

@aryanlabde 11 as of today. Collecting .com domains that I'm surprised are available like:

As a vibe coder, how many domains do you really own?

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!

@johnnybuildr @KaiXCreator Love this idea. I’ve noticed starting chores is the hardest part — not doing them. That “live timed sprint” could actually fix that. Have you tested which feature people use the most?

Builders on X What are you building right now? App. Startup. Side project. Content. I want more builders on my timeline. Drop what you're working on 👇🏻

@jam_thecreator @KaiXCreator Thank you, I will!

@johnnybuildr @KaiXCreator Hey! You should check out nitpickr.dev You will get your first users for your app, and completely free user testing + feedback. All you have to do is review someone else’s app, and you’ll get the same in return. Completely free to use too!

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

if you built an app, how would you monetize it? - One-time payment - Monthly subscription - Ads

@code_codeforge Chores should be enjoyable. Visualise your home & share with family, do chores, earn coins, decorate your rooms. Can also assign tasks to kids. ADHD friendly - random spin selector, live timed chore sprints with scores, beautiful UI tidywell-app.com
