Building mobile apps in public. Goal: $20k MRR until the end of 2026

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

I done 6 big failure projects in my entrepreneurial journey.

Still continue to creating because maybe the 7 or maybe the 15 gonna cover all my past fails

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Finally decided on branding for my pixel art workout app.

What’s still left from the app side until the launch (it’s excluding marketing things):
- finish the paywall design
- add more 40 new arts
- create all the App Store listings shit

@DeckardBuilds Amazing bro! Keep going 🔥🔥

Tomorrow codex reset 🎊

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Global reset landing tomorrow 10am PST for all paid ChatGPT accounts. Apologies for the slow start with GPT-6.1 Sol, it's now back to running at expected speeds after the massive load spike in the first two days.

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Opensource project Portainer, manage Docker containers visually instead of living in the terminal.

You get a UI to start, stop, inspect logs and manage volumes without typing commands. It runs as a Docker container itself, so setup is one command.

The benefit is that you don't build the management layer from zero. You can see what's running, troubleshoot faster, and change the interface when it doesn't fit your workflow.

So, here are the biggest things OpenAI shipped today:

Dots
GPT-6.1 Sol
Ultrafast Mode
ChatGPT Space
Pro $500 Plan
Decisions API
Sign in with ChatGPT

Pretty packed day.

@YevhenNL Also big benefit that becuase it OpenSource the agents con modify and expand the needs base on initial package

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Great opensource project RustDesk, a self-hosted TeamViewer alternative.

You get remote desktop with your own relay server instead of routing through someone else's cloud. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS, and you can run the server with Docker.

The benefit is that you don't build remote desktop from zero and you're not locked into a paid plan when you need more connections. You can read the code, change the UI, and keep the control traffic on your machine.

Couples days been out of AI news and there are already additional 5 alternative to Jev in OpenRouter

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Finally the $200 getting back and even improved!

Also tomorrow a new features + maybe a reset (it’s my positive imagination)

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Hi,

Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.

Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.

(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.

I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.

Codexingly,
Tibo

Not sure I have the answer yet, but I keep coming back to this: building is easy, deciding what not to build is the real work.
The urge to start the next thing is usually just momentum.

I'm trying to get comfortable with saying no to good ideas so one thing has room to actually get done.

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

I hate the distribution part. Development is the fun part for me, but the moment I need to actually market what I built, I get stuck.

Trying to find a way to enjoy that stage as much as the building.

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Great opensource project Docmost, a self-hosted Notion/Confluence-style wiki for teams.

You get docs, collaboration and permissions in one setup. It runs with Docker, so you can host it on your own server and keep the knowledge base on your machine instead of paying per seat.

The benefit is that you don't build a team wiki from zero. You can read the code, change the UI when it doesn't fit how your team works, and avoid platform lock-in.

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Some opensource project GitIngest, turns any Git repo into a prompt-friendly text digest for LLMs.

You can replace 'hub' with 'ingest' in any GitHub URL and get a text version of the entire repo ready to paste into a prompt. The benefit is that you don't copy files manually or build a repo reader from zero.

Good starting point when you need to feed a full codebase to an LLM without manual prep.

I nearly to be convinced to buy also Claude code subscription additionally to my 100$ codex and OpenCode Go just so Claude will create me good explanation videos for my apps and products

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Unfortunately this screen not mine 😭

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Don’t forget to create websites for your mobile apps for SEO and GEO traffic.

Created all this in the same time with one prompt for each (including deployment)

Connected to them GA4 and google search

Also each have a system for auto posting SEO optimized blogs

I ran out of Codex limits a couple days ago, so I switched to OpenCode.
At first it was just a fallback, but I got used to it and even extended it taught it to generate images, like Codex's computer use.

I kind of like him now 👉👈

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

We normalized that $100/month plans are normal. On one hand, it's shitty because we started spending more on subscriptions.
On the other, it means you can ask for more money on your products and to earn more also bro

[Maxim Oulitzky @MOulitzky]

Letssss goooo

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

o yes… we’re back in action and we’ll reset usage limits for all paid users across codex and ChatGPT work

sorry about the brief disruption!

(and yes we have a special spare codex when things are down to help us out)
