i made $62 in March '26 🦴 Fossy - $27 🐛 Buggy - $13 🪙 Coiny - $13 🍄 Mushy - $9 buggy marketing is working but app is too cheap for it to make a difference 😄 that’s the problem with single purchase apps i love it, tho, it was my first app

@raunofreiberg the amount of hate this post got is crazy 😂 when you're building a floating element that has a fixed height but is an infinite list and each item has a checkbox to the right, manipulating the scrollbar is almost mandatory

How to make scrollbars not suck scrollbar-width: thin; scrollbar-color: gray transparent;

@VanpeltVentures no, van, i definitely didn't need to sleep, thank you

For all the low budget fellas out here, thank me later 😌

@ErnestoSOFTWARE this is all for rork, right?

You’ve been lied to bro 😭 You’re not shadowbanned I’m testing like 4 formats at once Posting 4-10 times per day on IG Reposting the same video with a different text hook All in 1 single account and still going viral I’ve generated over 4M views in this account with only 57 videos Just post good content What I’ve found is that if your reel skip rate is under 26% you likely will go viral So the hook is everything But the drop off rate matters a lot too

@ericwithcoffee @ns123abc everybody is allowed to have bugs but usage-breaking bugs back-to-back over several months it's a bit too much

Are they not allowed to have bugs? They’re scaling like crazy and having a hard time with it. I’m personally convinced it’s not intentional. Sucks for us because we have to endure the bugs. The issue is this whole 3rd party harness blocking thing has just caused tons of complexity. I get why they’re doing it, but it causes all these other problems because it’s hard to enforce cleanly

@iPritamX have you considering introducing the paywall midway? or then a promotion at the end?

For the past week, I've noticed that many people are installing my app, and around 90% complete the onboarding process. However, when they reach the final paywall screen, they drop out. I'm concerned about why, after 26 steps in the onboarding process, users are not converting. Here are my pricing tiers: - $4.99 per week - $34.99 per year This month has been relatively successful, but I need to address this problem. Do you have any suggestions?

@juanjovn @seraleev @ThePeterMick that's probably why it failed 😄 they're antidepressants

@heyitzami @seraleev @ThePeterMick What’s an SSRI

Funny how developers who post a lot about their products, their most viral tweets end up being about laundry drying or a $15 Casio watch.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ cc @juanjovn @ThePeterMick

@Tandyman0 @miguelgbandeira and on sundays there's regueifa

@miguelgbandeira @heyitzami But the pastel de nata are good so 🤷‍♂️

Portugal isn't cheap anymore groceries cost almost the same as other european countries rent is more expensive than a lot of other big cities the only thing we have going for us? good weather and great food that's it

@igorhansachat @miguelgbandeira when it's cold outside, our houses are even colder 😄 and then you get moisture everywhere because it rains non-stop and cracking the windows open doesn't solve it

@heyitzami @miguelgbandeira nha... you heavily underestimate how shit weather could be :D

@wickedguro yeah, there's "no passing the limits" or "we're setting a limit of X" and there's no in-between no notifications, no anything

@heyitzami I guess it’s a common dark pattern

We played with Codex on the $25 plan, alright, we use it and use it. We also added our credit card to use the API. Today, we are checking the bank account, with more than 100 charges from OpenAI. My CTO used ChatGPT 5.5 excessively, and it kept charging us; it feels like a fraud. No email, no nothing. We were charged for $1600 in two days. Thanks 😠 Make sure that if you have a Codex package, you don't allow them to charge you after the package finishes.

@Tandyman0 @miguelgbandeira it always is 😂 the portuguese construction workers are known as weatherbenders

@heyitzami @miguelgbandeira I lived in a condo in Alges built in the 90s. It was colder in the apt than it was outside during the winter.

@miguelgbandeira our houses have negative isolation in the winter, it seems

@heyitzami depends on the region ahahah but overall the winters have been getting a lot more rainy which i hate also they seem colder than they really are because the houses have 0 isolation

@adamlyttleapps amazing ad, tho i think the best part of the shares you’ve been doing is seeing what the ads look like

My best ad creative is getting clicks. But no installs. USD$0.41 per click Best I've achieved so far. But no installs. It tells me this is hooking into a need. They click. But then the app store listing itself doesn't deliver. So they don't install.

@stemonteduro i’m working 9-5 earning the same but would much prefer to be a freelancer just haven’t figured out how

4k/month. Sometimes it feels crazy to realize that I can work almost whenever I want, from wherever I want, and earn 50k/year. I’m not an indie hacker, just a freelancer. Why should this feel less valuable than having my own product? I do not have to do marketing. I do not have to do customer care. I do not have to work more than 6h per day. I do not have to grow my audience. I do not have to find ideas and validate them. I do not have to fall asleep thinking about that feature. Am I happy without knowing it?

@robj3d3 that’s a lot of stuff on top of that slim top, rob 😂

"Vietnam is a third world country you can't move there!" okay bro 🇻🇳☕

@michalmalewicz i mean, if you’re ok with taking 5€ per week from each, it kinda amounts to something so i guess that the strategy is that i kinda feel bad for not being there when showing up and doing good work was enough to get to know good people and find good opportunities

@heyitzami people with money are not there braindead zombies are

People VPNing and “warming” their tiktoks and I realized I don’t even want the braindead audience from that platform in the first place. But do your lipsyncs and dances, you do you.

@VanpeltVentures i feel like it has been since january, tho there’s always something coming up one thing improves but then 2/3 new bad things appear i think im starting to lose my faith, but there’s no rival for the context and memory that claude provides

@heyitzami Yeah I can totally relate ! I really hope they do something about this otherwise it’s only going to go downhill …

I’m willing to do almost anything to go viral and make it on social media, but I’ll never talk bad about Claude. Sure Codex has slightly better performances these days but Claude has never been as bad as to deserve any hate. Never turning my back on my day ones, of which @claudeai is a prominent member.

you know what sucks? not being able to do articles in the X iOS app @nikitabier please!
