The best time to be a developer in India who does one of the following:
-Works remotely for a EU/USA company
-Builds SaaS for international customers
-Creates content for international audience
-Game/App Developers
USD -> INR will easily cross 100 soon and developers/IT folks will be regarded as one of the highest professions ever!

I'm thinking to use @adapty for my next app. Anyone used it? feedback?
@david_attisaas saw only 2 very small apps on whatsthe.app using adapty.

@AnanthHSM @manoj_ahi It’s not about money here, most people pay easily and garbage is collected at door.
Let’s assume the cess etc we pay for general cleanliness of public places etc.
The issue is cleanliness is not a priority for general public that’s why govt can get away with it.

@petraapps @manoj_ahi You are forgetting that in property tax also we pay garbage cess. Therefore it is not just ₹100/- per month.

I live in a country where:
- There is no garbage collection happening in my area.
- Because of that, people are dumping garbage everywhere.
- I complained to the municipal department about this. Nothing happened.
- Complained on the CM helpline. After a couple of days, a garbage collection truck came.
- It came for just one day, then stopped.
Complained again. Same thing happened. Came for 1-2 days, then stopped.
- The reason: the road connectivity in my area is too bad for the truck, and there's a risk of the truck getting damaged. Fair enough.
- Complained to the CM helpline about the bad road. Nothing happened.
- Complained again. Got a response saying it's in the plan, will require around ₹22 lakhs, but they don't have the budget right now. Was told to be patient.
That was a year ago.
I believe people can change. But this kind of incompetence from the people who run the system is exactly why India is, and will remain, a developing nation while other countries race past us.
The only way I can fix this now is to hire a garbage truck for my area myself. And fix the road myself.
Because yeah, greatest country in the world.
My suggestion to people: if you ever get the chance, go settle in a country that actually values its people.

@manoj_ahi first thing why even garbage collection is optional? It should be mandatory just like water/house tax.

@petraapps Govt should just put cctv and fine them heavy. Lato ke bhoot bato se nhi mante.
Administration have money to spend on politicians posters every 100m but not for the things that matters.

After reading so many stories of overnight $10k/month. This story sounds genuine and wholesome.
I'm in this since 2016 and now making something similar and it's almost daily new learning.
Alex@nomalex_
FYI I'm making ~$3k/month with my mobile apps now but: - I've been making mobile apps since 2012, so mobile app UX doesn't have much secrets for me - I've been working daily on my apps since Feb 2025 - I've watched/listened to literally dozens of hours of content about marketing/monetization (the knowledge I was missing) And I still have so much to learn/experiment to reach my goal.

@jonathanzliu I got the same request for an annual sub after 2 days… I thought it’s genuine and refunded 🫠

English

Was stuck in a weird spot - most of my revenue came from users forgetting free trials.
Didn’t feel great. Plus it brought billing issues and instant cancellations.
Tried something different:
7-day paid trial at $0.99
Now users choose to pay → they know what they want.

Shivam@petraapps
MRR started growing after introducing paid trials for this Android app.
