Jason The Founder 📱

I’m a non-technical founder who’s never written a line of code. I had an idea reading a book. 12 hours later it was a working iOS app on my phone. This is where I document everything. The wins. The mistakes. The process. Follow along 👇 #BuildInPublic #Nearplay

@Msaleh Let’s connect - that’s me too 🚀

I am solo founder, working a 9-5 job then building and marketing at night If you are in the same boat lets support each other and connect What are you building?

@DannyIsLearning Good insights - thanks man

I was barely getting less than 10 downloads a day now I get 10x more daily. Here’s everything I did to get more downloads: - Posted my app on Reddit consistently in my niche (weight loss) and tried to make posts like everyone else but subtly include my app - Make faceless TikToks/Reels everyday (Find a popular format in your niche and include your app) - Reply to comments on any social media posts in your niche then try to give value and include your app - Find UGC creators on TikTok/Twitter/Backstage and get them to make videos with your app - Ask for reviews in your onboarding to boost your Apple search ranking

@100ideaslater @kevinchan Thanking you! The wait is painful 🤣 so let’s hope it’s quick for us both

@JasonBFounder @kevinchan hoping the apple gods bless you with a quick review with no rejections (also in the "waiting for review" stage for my app right now)

Just found this community thanks to @kevinchan 💪 ⛳️ Building my first solo app. Currently going back round the App Store Connect review process….. Nearplay is coming soon and can’t wait to share more with you all!

@archi_gen @claudeai What’s it do?!

I'm happy people are enjoying my app 😀 thank you @claudeai

@CadenBurleson Looks clean. I like it

rate my onboarding

@BrianMRey Love to see it! Now to crack that 1k

@JasonBFounder Thank you Jason!! Starting to finally click for me :)

I launched my SaaS 6 months ago. Here's my MRR progress 👇 Month 1 : $9 Month 2 : $36 Month 3 : $55 Month 4 : $98 Month 5 : $330 Month 6 : $560 It’s not beautiful but it’s progress.

@kevinchan @bsngln38133 That can be the X experience sometimes! Haha.

@JasonBFounder @bsngln38133 A random post was exactly how I found this community as well. It’s much better than shouting into the void.

No but it was inspired by the Ready Player One and Two books (also Ready Player One is a film) which are based around video games. Essentially - you soundtrack your life. You set the locations. You set the music that plays at those locations. Nearplay will auto trigger that music to play when you get there.

@JasonBFounder @openclaw Of course man! Talk to me about Nearplay: does it revolve around video games? 🎮

Stuck @ 640 followers. No real growth for a week. I feel TIRED. But behind the scenes: ✅ I have almost completed my first iOS app's MVP—$0 MRR so far and no users ✅ My @openclaw agent is already over 1 week old and I feel I have leaped into the future already ✅ Started a new MASSIVE course to grow and make $ on X ✅ Health is improving. Life is starting to look like a million bucks in the bank.

@bsngln38133 @kevinchan Thanks really appreciate the support! I am genuinely excited to bring it to market! Yes - I am finding it a rollercoaster BUT I’m hoping, after the last fix (small issue on iPad screens which should be resolved) that I’m on the home stretch!!

@JasonBFounder @kevinchan Exciting times ahead! App Store reviews can be a rollercoaster. Can't wait to see Nearplay!

@kevinchan Yeah man 100% (it’s one of the use cases I’ll be using it for 🤣 - struggling 18 handicapper). App is with Apple for review but more then happy to drop you a DM when it’s live so you can test it out headed to the course

@JasonBFounder Thanks! But more about what you're building/built. So with Nearplay.live, can I schedule my favourite songs to amp me up as I arrive at my golf destinations?

Been posting to build in public for 60 days. In that timeframe: - It held me accountable to my goal of launching my app. - I grew a small following. - I exposed myself to a vast diversity of opinions and ideas. The base is built now. Looking forward to the next 60.

Given up on Apple reviewing Nearplay again today. rMembr is now is now back in review too. 2 apps. 1 apple. Me. Waiting….

@sterlingcrispin This is sort of why I’m building rMembr. Our time is short. Enjoy today. But loss is hard, leave something behind for those closest - rmembr.me

I was driving home from the store today and imagining life remapped to a single day. Both my parents are gone now and I've been reflecting more on mortality. It feels so unreal and intangible. It's 4:30 pm for me, I still have time left but it's finite. It all goes by so fast

@Ben_ghazy3 Need to catch a viral post or 10 I think

@JasonBFounder It will take me 500 days which is crazy. I need to put in more efforts

My maximum impressions per day is 10k. Please, how many days will it take me to reach 5 million? I hope it won't take one year.

@Ben_ghazy3 Some Days are only 1000 though

@JasonBFounder You're even better than me

It’s been 27 hours since I sent Nearplay back for review… I have now entered the ‘is every notification it going into review’ phase…
