If you're solo and trying to grow your app, paid User Acquisition (UA) is the best, most effective way of doing so
It's also difficult
We asked @davidvargasm_ (did UA for 125+ apps) for his advice. He went and produced the definitive guide on UA for solo devs. Must read

5 Minute Bedtime Stories For Android Devs.
This book, brought together by James Cullimore and co-authored by 30 renowned developers, was one of the most interesting books I’ve read recently.
I also joined the "An Open-Source Nightmare at Midnight" section.
Companies hire to grow revenue, expand capacity, fill skill gaps, improve efficiency, and maintain stability.
If you really understand that, it quietly changes how you see yourself in the job market. You stop thinking in terms of “I need a job” and start thinking in terms of “What is this company actually trying to achieve, and where do I fit into that outcome?”
Most CVs fail because they are written like autobiographies. Lists of responsibilities. Lists of tools. Lists of tasks. But companies are not trying to buy your history. They are trying to buy outcomes.
So when you say you “managed emails,” that is not the point. The point is what that management created. Did it reduce response time? Did it improve customer satisfaction? Did it free up leadership time for higher-value work?
When you say you “handled operations,” the real question is what changed because you were there. Did things become faster? Cleaner? More predictable? Less chaotic?
Even if you do not have perfect metrics, the framing matters. Because hiring decisions are rarely just about proof of past work. They are about belief in future impact.
Pewbeam is live 🎉
This was just a dream, a dream I didn’t even know was possible—but I decided to pursue it anyway. Today, that dream is now a reality. We have a desktop app (Windows and macOS—this weekend) that can do all of this and even more. Over the last six months, I’ve pushed myself and my team hard, and I’ve seen people become hopeful and genuinely blessed by this product. I’ve received strong support from pastors, church members, techies, and several media houses and reporters. It has been a great honor to spend myself on something worthwhile.
We’ve built an AI-native presentation app that displays relevant scriptures on screen in under 80 ms, without needing a volunteer. We’re starting with scriptures, but we’re growing into a comprehensive presentation software, with slides launching next month.
From testing @pewbeam_ai in churches over the last four weeks, pastors have been able to focus on what matters instead of juggling or micromanaging the media team while preaching. Church members have been able to follow their pastor’s references in real time and take better notes. In the words of a member from one of the test churches: “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons in church completely.” This is the kind of impact I see Pewbeam having on people’s faith and on how church and worship are done.
Pewbeam’s mission is to ensure the Church is not left behind in the AI era. We’re starting with this application, with many more to come in the next few months. We’ll keep working with stakeholders in the Christian faith, collect feedback, and build tools that better support discipleship. And unlike previous waves of technology, I believe we can be among the first movers in this AI revolution.
With all that said, the final build of the app is ready, and we’re launching for public download on February 25, 2026. The app has a generous free tier for small churches and fellowships, and a paid plan (location-based pricing) that unlocks unlimited access to all features.
If you’ve been following this journey, I appreciate you, and I assure you it will be worth it.
Please download, subscribe, and use in your church.

Someone just open sourced a tool that turns your entire codebase into a knowledge graph.
This helps models actually understand dependencies, call chains, and blast radius before touching anything.
It’s called GitNexus.
And it’s terrifying how powerful it is. Link in replies.
