I come from a dev background. Used to think: build something great → users will come. Reality: No distribution = no product. Now I spend more time on marketing than coding. Because what’s the point of building… if no one sees it?

Be this guy > Spend 7 months developing a micro SAAS > Realize you have 0 users and you are building for nobody > Pause development and focus 100% on marketing > Week 1 you make $1,900 MRR Stop over engineering Commit yourself fully to marketing.

Day 4, 5 building & marketing a new app 💪 - Just shipped a small but exciting update, turned the AI-generated prototype into a real feature inside the app. - User can now create workouts and instantly visualize which muscle groups you're targeting. - Feels good seeing things go from idea → prototype → actual product. - Started warming up + post 2 TikTok accounts luckily neither of them got shadow banned. 🤟 Tech Stack: – No code mobile app builder: Rork AI – Mobile: React Native (Expo) – IDE: Cursor – Frontend: Next.js – Payment: RevenueCat – Backend: NestJS – Database + Auth: Supabase – Infrastructure: Railway – AI API: OpenAI (dropping the tech stack here because someone always asks 😌)

Day 2, 3 building & marketing a new app 💪 Just shipped a muscle body graph feature: → shows which exercises hit which muscle groups → helps AI generate smarter workout plans → users can choose which muscle groups they want to grow, and AI generates personalized workout plans If I coded this myself: a few days With AI agents: just 1 prompt + 24 minutes (grab a coffee while it works) We’re entering a world where execution speed = unfair advantage Tech Stack: – No code mobile app builder: Rork AI – Mobile: React Native (Expo) – IDE: Cursor – Frontend: Next.js – Payment: RevenueCat – Backend: NestJS – Database + Auth: Supabase – Infrastructure: Railway – AI API: OpenAI (dropping the tech stack here because someone always asks 😌)

Anthropic just built an OpenClaw wrapper with no limits on Claude Max. 👀
Charly Wargnier@DataChaz

🚨 Anthropic just dropped its 🦞 @OpenClaw competitor Meet Dispatch. A new research preview in Claude Cowork that completely changes how you interact with AI. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Pairs your phone to a persistent Claude session on your desktop 2️⃣ Message tasks on the go, come back to finished work 3️⃣ Executes code in a secure, local sandbox Your files stay 100% local and private, and Claude asks for your approval before touching anything Sure, the desktop needs to stay on, but the flexibility is insane. Rolling out now to Max users (Pro coming soon). Time to pair that phone! 👀

Most people quit too early. Not because they’re not talented. Not because the idea is bad. But because nothing happens… at first. 0 users. 0 revenue. 0 validation. Just you… and doubt. But here’s the truth: The first phase is always invisible. You’re building skills. You’re learning patterns. You’re getting 1% better every day. Then suddenly… something clicks. 1 user → 10 → 100 → 1,000 1 video → viral 1 app → life-changing People will call it “luck”. But they didn’t see the boring days. So if you're in the quiet phase right now: Keep shipping. Keep posting. Keep building. Because momentum doesn’t announce itself. It just shows up one day. And changes everything 💪

Building tip: I always let AI generate API integration docs. Then FE/Mobile agents just read that doc → integrate almost perfectly No need to scan the entire backend again Saves a LOT of tokens (and time) 🔥 Small note: AI agents perform much better when working on individual features/modules instead of trying to build the whole app at once.

One of my posts just went viral today 🚀 179K views in 24 hours (and still climbing) → +700 new users → $435 revenue in a single day (from my apps) Organic distribution is still underrated. 💪
