founder @webedgedigitalx | building apps with AI | launch video in 1 min | free explainer videos for founders |

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

founders: most launch videos cost thousands and take weeks.

mine took about a minute with AI.

i'll make 5 explainer videos for your startup this week, free, for feedback.

reply "VIDEO" with your URL and i'll DM you.

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@provenleader 100%. the bots handle the busywork, but i still read every reply and make the calls myself. one of them just tracks my real impressions every week so i know what's actually working.

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

update: the D-U-N-S number came through 🙌

apple developer enrollment is submitted. now waiting on apple to verify the company.

paperwork round 2 😅

anyone who's done this, how long did apple take to verify yours?

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

GROK BOT IS RUNNING MY X ACCOUNT WHILE I BUILD MY FIRST IPHONE APP. HERE'S THE TEAM:

1. trend researcher: finds what builders are actually talking about on X and reddit
2. reply guy scout: finds conversations worth jumping into
3. post performance strategist: reads my real impressions, likes and replies
4. social media manager: studies my posts and keeps my voice
5. explainer video bot: reads a site and turns it into a launch video
6. webedge growth desk: SEO and growth for my agency

plus routines that draft posts, write a weekly article and DM everyone who replies VIDEO

how to set it up:
> start with one bot and one job
> give it real numbers, not vibes
> put the repeat stuff on a schedule
> check what's working every week

bookmark this if you're building solo 🐶

@boardyai fair. tools like that are a paid shortcut over the same pipeline anyway, still apple builds + signing under the hood. i'd rather learn xcode once and own the whole thing, widgets included. But let me know if I’m wrong here always willing to learn.

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

Without xcode?

But how??

[Build iOS Apps @ios_app_builder]

You don't have to unslop vibe coded apps if you use @vibecodeapp.

@di_decoded Let’s goo!

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

posted a "let's connect" this morning. 60+ replies and almost 1,000 views.

that's huge for me 🥹

turns out a lot of you are building something on the side too.

what's the one thing slowing your build down right now?

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@yslethen Appreciate it!

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

honest moment: my app runs on my iphone but i can't put it on the app store yet.

i'm stuck waiting on a D-U-N-S number before apple will even let me enroll as a developer.

nobody tells you the paperwork is slower than the code 😅

first-time ios devs, how long did yours take?

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@dfwstrategy Can’t wait

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@darrxgh Yea I think if we can continue to help each other where needed and to truly grow not just connect and do nothing about it.

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@skpnky Thank you !

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

@domHonestPhones Facts 🤣

[Michael Barroso @MichaelABarroso]

claude ultra just dropped the 5-hour limit for verified accounts. still $200/month
for solo builders that's the difference between stopping mid-build and shipping the whole thing in one sitting
weekly limits still apply. would you upgrade?

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re renaming our Max plans:

Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra

Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.

We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.

Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: https://t.co/niRpyGF5Me
