Building apps as an indie dev 🚀 | Sharing the real journey daily 💭 | Currently: Strik 🔥

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

Update: I disappeared from X to focus on launching my app.

❌Mistake. Building in silence = building alone.

I'm back with a different approach:
- Sharing daily (the real stuff)
- Building connections
- Growing reach for future projects

Let's go. 🔥

I've a Trial Conversion of 9.1%, what's the problem?

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@codewithDiyaa It works great for small projects, but for really big apps I think it's not possible if you have no knowledge in programming for the moment.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@stijnnoorman The first $1 is really the beginning of a big change.

After that, you just have to repeat, test, and upgrade what you're doing and scale.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

I've really a lot of Billing Issues...

It's so frustrating, you think the trial will convert but it doesn't.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

If you want your life to be different.

Start by changing your day.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@johnbuildss Yeah, that's what I figured out.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

When I start optimizing my paywalls:

📈 My revenue growth
📉 My app rating goes down

Is it normal? What should I do?

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@adityadotdev If I got my answer faster with AI than Google, I will use AI it's logical.

❌ "You don't need motivation"

It's bullshit.
We need motivation.

It's impossible to do something every day in the long term without motivation.

Discipline is great, it allows us to do the thing on bad days. But it's not a valuable strategy in the long term.

[Kay @Dwriteway]

"You don’t need motivation. You need a schedule"

Don't make the mistake this year of following motivation.

Get a discipline.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@caothongdev Yeah, I hope for you too.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

Seeing all these X payouts, it's so motivating.

The first thing I want is to grow my apps, but I would love to have the 5M impressions to also have access to these payouts.

It's my 2026 secondary goals!

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@agnishmanik_dev The app idea looks great, it's one of my problems that sometimes I just don't know what to do and start scrolling while it's better to do something in the real world.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@Snehalxmode Yeah, of course, waiting for perfection is waiting forever...

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@Artistapiratame If you want, you can come in DM to explain to me what you want.

@Artistapiratame Hi!

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@itz_suyog For now I haven't done any marketing, all my users come organically from Google Play.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

I'm in a phase of my app where my goal is to increase the install-to-paid rate.

In the beginning, it was less than 1%.

Now it's improving, but it's not what I want yet.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@nicktheriot_ Yeah, it's so true.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

User feedback is so good.

Without this feedback, it is like building blindly.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@solutionsforsam Yeah, it's impossible to succeed if we don't know what the user wants.

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@Boku_JM @ennycodes For what do you use Gemini?

[HugoCodes @HugoCodes]

@Col_ASY For real
