Just hit $4000 revenue on a mobile app I built 🎉
Figured it’s a good time to reintroduce myself.
I’m Chay.
I build mobile apps, share everything I learn in public, and document the journey of becoming a full-time indie founder.
About a year ago, I was working remotely as a Product Designer for a healthcare AI startup in New York while living in India.
I loved product design, but deep down I always wanted to build products of my own.
The problem was I didn’t know where to start.
Like most people, I thought building the app was the hard part.
Turns out, finding the right idea and getting users is much harder.
So I started experimenting.
I picked one simple problem.
Built my first app.
Spent months talking to users on Reddit.
Collected feedback.
Built in public.
Shipped.
That app has now generated around $4000 in revenue and continues to pay me every month.
That experience completely changed how I think about startups.
I realized anyone can build an app today.
The real skill is finding problems worth solving and getting those first users.
A few weeks ago I finally decided to document everything on.
I uploaded my first video.
It reached over 60,000 views.
Then the second one crossed 15,000+ views in just a couple of days.
Something unexpected happened after that.
Brands started reaching out asking to sponsor the channel before I’d even uploaded many videos.
That gave me confidence that I was building something people genuinely found valuable.
Going forward, this is what I’ll be sharing:
• Finding profitable app ideas
• Building apps with AI
• Getting your first users
• Reddit marketing
• App growth & monetization
• Everything I’m learning while building in public
If you’re interested in building profitable apps as a solo founder, you’re in the right place.
Let’s build together. 🚀
