RoS

@AliZz0A @niklogvinenko That's crazy. Every body talks about TikTok like the ultimate selling machine. Did create a channel or did you pay for ads? What app was it?

@rosantossp @niklogvinenko I tried tiktok for 40 days. I was able to get 3 subs only so I stopped it. Now I am working on new apps

ASO is officially dead. We released an iOS app and got only 7 daily installs in the first month. Almost no purchases. 2 years ago after the app release we got 10x more daily installs and a lot of purchases. Organic doesn’t work anymore. Hard times for indies.

@vpdn @niklogvinenko @arielmichaeli Nice I am using RevCat for subs. Thank you for all the information.

Try to deeply understand and build for a community and if necessary/possible partner with someone really good at social who also understands the people you're building for. Tactics wise try preorders before app release, @arielmichaeli has you covered for all ASO tips, for distribution test out different channels and formats (Threads worked best for us at first, biggest spike was from a TikTok carousel). Use @RevenueCat for reporting, paywalls and experimentation.

@vpdn @niklogvinenko wow, how did you do it?

@niklogvinenko Organic ≠ ASO

@AliZz0A @niklogvinenko Which socials you recomend?

@niklogvinenko Yeah my app didn't get any organic installs. Only from socials

@owenyuwono @niklogvinenko Whats is the best traffic source?

@niklogvinenko who even opens the app store to browse anymore

@itsEthanKeiser @niklogvinenko How not to suck at it?

@niklogvinenko organic works really well, better than ever. you just suck at it

I've made a game that is impossible to win. apps.apple.com/us/app/sequenc…

My father owns a produce brokerage company. He sells +$10m a year in onions a year with a phone, fax machine, and file cabinet. TLDR: - he calls farmers and will buy two or three truckloads of onions - then organizes a truck for pick up - sells the onions to Walmart or some other chain like that. I made a video about it when I was at his office, and on Instagram it got like 3 million views in a week. He was so pumped. And no, he doesn't make $10m/year. The margins are tiny. But its just him + 1 person in office. Put me through college debt free and has always driven a fat Mercedes! Originally, he worked in a grocery store in the produce section. Then had fruit stand on the side of the road. Then did the white collar move and started a brokerage. I was in 4th grade. It was funny because he started the business in summertime, and the AC of the office was expensive, so he used to work barefooted without a shirt and his Docker shorts. It's been like 25 years now, and he's sold over a quarter of a billion dollars' worth of onions. His CRM is a binder. He has two phones, a file cabinet, and everything is done with checks. There's a computer on his desk, but to be honest, it's for when he uses Facebook, YouTube and visiting The Chive. And there's a baby playpen in the office so his co-worker, who he has hired, can bring her baby to work. The video was only 60 seconds long and people loved it because they were shocked that you can build a really good lifestyle with simplicity.

@torstensandor @andruyeung Partially solved. Some countries offer more limitations than others. I’ve used swift though regular banks, wise, PayPal, Nomad, stripe and also checked airwallex but some Reddit posts put me off of them. It’s chaos. Some receive from a country but don’t send.. far from solved

@andruyeung Most SWIFT transactions arrive intraday, and there are many fintechs offering cross-border transfers in a few minutes. This is mostly a solved problem.

Why does it take five days to send money overseas when a text message arrives in seconds? This fascinated me so I went down a rabbit hole. Let me ELI5: When you send money through a traditional bank, it doesn't go directly to the person you're paying. It goes through a system called SWIFT. SWIFT is a global messaging network that banks use to talk to each other. But here's the problem: your money doesn't travel in one step. It hops from bank to bank to bank. Each one takes time. Each one takes a cut. And SWIFT was built in the 1970s. Before the internet, email & before your phone could do anything useful. Somehow, in 2026, this is still how most banks move money internationally. But recently, a new generation of companies said: "What if we just didn't use SWIFT?" They built their own private global payment networks. Money moves through local rails instead of hopping between banks. @airwallex is one of them. 95% of their payments bypass SWIFT entirely. More than 90% of transactions arrive in real time or within a few hours. Not 3-5 business days. Hours! But Airwallex isn't just fast payments. They built an entire financial platform for global businesses. Accept payments from customers anywhere. Hold money in multiple currencies. Pay suppliers and contractors internationally. Manage team spending. All without juggling multiple banks across different countries. Startups use Airwallex to expand globally without setting up local bank accounts everywhere. Enterprises use it to consolidate 20+ banking relationships into a single platform and cut hidden currency conversion fees. The way money moves is finally catching up to the way everything else moves. #AirwallexPartner

Guess the country, get bonus for city.

Great book. A must-read for anyone on a Unix-like system.

@iyoushetwt Java development?

What you will do in this situation?

@anatelorenzen @shanekempton Very true, you learn along the way and some times not only the ball changes, but the whole game...

@shanekempton The ball you start with is not the one you finish with.

Finding product market fit as a solo founder.

@shanekempton @anatelorenzen Thats a pretty good insight.

@anatelorenzen This is such a good illustration of the value of focus brings. Those additional balls are a distraction until you get scale.

Wtf.. 😳 Opus 4.6 agent teams built a C compiler in 2 weeks…

“We used to review every line of code before it went into production”.

👏👏👏

This is very clever... Shows how to use any service today, you have to go through a long chain of 'custody'. It is very difficult to have certainty that you are safe.

@sandislonjsak Whats the right way to do it?
