    Thank you! Honestly have not reached out to any local news networks yet; I've been so busy with making changes based on feedback/marketing that I deprioritized that a bit. But I will probably try to do it this week! What was your way of finding a contact at each network? Just cold email? Cold...

    Launched ~16 ads at $50 a day. Planning to see how they do for a week or so and focus on organic again. I also increased the price, and now have gotten 0 free trial starts. I took a look at what other ai apps like this charge and im gonna lower the prices back down to where I was at when I was...

    Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’

    NEWS 
    I'll concede that it is probably a bit more difficult in some sense than in the past, but the solution is pretty simple. Put effort into it like anything else. Join pickleball, dance classes, volleyball rec leagues etc. Do that for 6 months to a year and chances are that person will probably...

    Update: The user who gave good feedback has been encountering a lot of bugs with the language version. Admittedly, I didn't put much focus there because I thought no one would really be interested in that since I'm not advertising it at all (let alone having basically no copy for it anymore)...

    This is interesting. I just got an email giving feedback and mentioning how much they love the design of the app...for the language part! Perhaps the market is sending a message, but we'll see.

    I've personally found app reviews to be not so bad once you get it initially published on the App Store. After that, I haven't had an issue. My one app took 5 days; the other 2.5 weeks. Feel free to dm me if you have questions and I might be able to help since I've done it twice now.

    It's been one week since I've ran my ads, here's a few stats and observations. First Week Stats - $200 spent on ads ~ 72 downloads - 4 Trial Starts (1 Active/1 Canceled/ 2 converted) - 2 Conversions ($51 in revenue) - I don't see the 2 who converted using the app daily, though. Best CPI from...

    Sounds like a good plan to me. May as well post those same posts to IG/YT even. Make sure you have them warm up their TikTok accounts for about a week (repost stuff, comment, like, etc. spend 15 mins a day on the accounts). I'm subscribed to this newsletter called social growth engineers that...

    Trigger.dev is there for the worker; Supabase edge functions have a maximum runtime of 400seconds, hence the Trigger.dev. In theory, you could call it directly from the app, but there's further processing I do in the worker. Revenuecat is commonly used on mobile apps because of Apple/Android...

    I have an insider thread about mobile app execution, but I wanted to post on the wider forum so people can see what I'm doing/I can have more feedback from folks. Mainly was motivated to make this thread because of what @SheyBuilds and @kbauder have been doing. App Summary Website App Store...

    The only niche I can see it benefiting from for apps is networking-based apps. I used to think like this too, but the data seems to be pretty clear.

    Definitely limits to what you can do because of the regulations the stores put on you.

    The majority of the data for mobile apps point to hard paywalls being the way to go. Not sure if you've seen it, but this has a good breakdown https://www.revenuecat.com/state-of-subscription-apps/

    Is your app an actual mobile app or a web app? The optimal monetization is different between the two.

    Something that I've been doing is just putting all of my ideas into a doc throughout the day. Takes like 5 seconds. Then having AI look into what would likely perform well (because of the hook, what's trending), then posting it. I don't have it write a script, but it at least does a little...

    For what it's worth, I've found @Antifragile thread on Hermes/AI very helpful. He's openly shared his mistakes, which has helped me to avoid making them myself. It's the type of post I was seeking when joining the forum. I hope you continue to post updates there @Antifragile !
