Danik Pavlovski

Hi X. I’m Danik (15 yo). I’ve been learning IT since 13 yo, and now I build full-stack projects - Telegram Mini Apps (TMA) and web apps.

is it just me or does claude code start hanging for like 10 min once a session gets long enough? zero tokens moving, just frozen. happens almost always in chats with a lot of context

i wanted to reach US audience for my app everyone said i need a proxy or a US sim card i tried just a paid VPN best video so far - 88.8% of viewers from the US. 0.3% from belarus where i'm actually sitting if you're outside the US and need to reach US audience - try the simple setup first don't pay for proxies until you actually need them

pov: tried giving claude code a chance instead of codex it "crunched" for 4 minutes and "sautéed" for 36 seconds to deliver me a 500

created a new TikTok account half a day of warm up. posted first video - 868 views, 50 likes, 10 saves people say you need a 3 day warm up but nobody's actually proven that if your fyp is tuned to your niche and your first video has a strong hook - it’s already fine what's your tiktok warm up routine? curious if anyone else has skipped it

@katarinaore keep experimenting with hooks + if you're using ai in content, make it feel as human as possible

I'm continuing to work on distribution for my first ever iOS app Been stuck at ~700 views recently - I have a mix of hooks but it's mostly videos. I'm starting on slideshows now and also sitting at 700 views. I'm going to standardise my main account content in terms of format and create a bunch of other accs for hook testing.. Anything else I should do? My goal is to get to that 100 subscribers before summer. (I'm at 2 rn) I can't really replicate what works as my competitors have a different proposition and my apps USP is very different to theirs :) (which makes it more fun, but also tougher at the start!)

@elizimm44 @10x_apps yeah thanks, will give it a few more days and then probably go just resubmit it

@pavlovski_dev @10x_apps Just gotta call for expedited review or resubmit

First app waiting for review with @10x_apps Took a bit under a week👀

this is sick, but the missing piece is human feel right now content splits into two paths that actually work, imo: 1. full ai with cartoon characters or something like that 2. raw human content that doesn't smell like ai at all stuff that tries to be both, ai pretending to be human, just doesn't work, from what i've tested

honestly people don't put enough attention on marketing market first, product second. otherwise you build something nobody asked for and wonder why nobody downloads shipping is the easy part now, ai writes the code, ui templates everywhere, ship in a weekend marketing is still the hard part

In 2020, when I went solo, I knew I had to learn marketing. Building without knowing how to run ad campaigns felt like flying blind. 5 years later, that was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Marketing is a foundation, not an afterthought. Ship the app ✅ Use the app ✅ Market the app ✅

@cinamarina human taste is so underrated now, i think it's the most significant skill in AI era

Hot take: Human creativity > AI creativity. Convince me otherwise.

@aryanlabde i use 2 codex subscriptions for $20 + claude for $20 instead, works nice for me

@pavlovski_dev You’re still spending $200 for claude max if not the others👀

Vibe coding a product is so easy. until you’re hit with random costs: - cursor max — $200/mo - vercel Pro — $20/mo - supabase Pro — $25/mo - resend — $20/mo your product costs $250+/month before making a single $.

@Tobby_scraper niches don't matter that much imo what actually drives mrr is one viral feature and its marketing

iOS niches nobody talks about in 2026: - Wildflower Identification Apps $30k MRR - Mushroom Foraging Guide Apps $35k MRR - Stargazing & Sky Map Apps $60k MRR - Rock & Mineral Identifier Apps $30k MRR Nature curiosity is exploding. The apps are terrible. Check Niches Hunter for more ideas!

@alexcooldev that’s cool man, however, who do you usually find formats for your videos?

I can confirm it worked 😌

@Tech_Circuits @Tobby_scraper yo this is cool, college search/visits feels like a really underrated niche tbh how are you finding your first users? organic on tiktok/reddit or something else?

@pavlovski_dev @Tobby_scraper I am 17 and I made an app called Toured to help students and families with the college search process, remember your college visits, and doing college research. Lmk what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/toured-…

iOS apps for the student market nobody targets: - Exam Countdown Timer Apps $35k MRR - Lecture Note Organizer Apps $50k MRR - Study Group Coordinator Apps $30k MRR - GPA Calculator Apps $25k MRR Students are broke but they pay for tools that reduce stress. Check Niches Hunter for more ideas!

@louisagareiss yep true but still wild that apple in 2026 can't figure out how to automate or scale this review part

@pavlovski_dev It’s because all of these probably badly vibe coded apps which need a lot of attention.

apple's review process is genuinely the worst part of building ios apps been waiting a week for apple to review an update. no rejection. no "in review". just sitting in waiting for review since may 3 is this normal now? feels like review times got way worse this year

@pcshipp don't be afraid to try. push the first app hard, different angles, different platforms, different hooks. if after real effort it's still not moving, then move on and build something new

I built two apps in 2026 One app is getting little growth The second app completely failed Should I build another app or focus on marketing the first one?

@KCodes7777 been seeing more and more of these demo-style ads lately product on screen in 2 seconds, no fluff. probably gonna try this format for my own app

Plant care apps printing over $200k/m This is an example of a good ad: → clear hook → instantly shows the product → showcases the value in seconds → easy to understand → makes you want to download it immediately This is successful marketing.

@santoshstack "consistency matters more when nobody is watching" - this hits. the hardest part of solo isn't the work, it's showing up day 47 when nothing's moving and you have no proof it'll matter

One underrated skill for solo founders: Learning how to keep moving without motivation. Because most days feel repetitive. You post with low engagement. Ship with no applause. Improve quietly. Consistency matters more when nobody is watching.
