Hey, #BuildInPublic,
The first sale wasn't a fluke!
@RetroSelfieApp picked up 4 more paying users in August - $12.84 total, split across iOS and Android.
Still tiny. Still real. Building in public. 📈
I have a conversion problem with @RetroSelfieApp and I don't understand why.
890 signups. 574 AI edits. $3.75 revenue.
57% of people who sign up never generate a single edit. Not "try once and leave" - never even try.
6 months of building solo, and today @RetroSelfieApp got its first-ever paying customer!
Not a test, not me - a real stranger!
Small number, huge feeling. 🎉📸

400+ Reddit posts from habit tracker users - know what they actually want?
A widget. A streak freeze. A pretty grid.
Ship the boring version first.
Building @GridHabitsApp - no fluff, just a green grid.
Every habit tracker on the app stores is a glorified to-do list with a subscription.
Change my mind!
I'm building one that isn't. @GridHabitsApp - GitHub-style contribution graph.
No account wall!
Free tier actually works!

@RetroSelfieApp runs on Nano Banana 🍌 instead - not #1 on the board, but the right fit for the job. Elo isn't the same as fit.

I killed our @RetroSelfieApp's lens icon! 🔪
Here's the research that made me do it - 18 competitor icons, Apple's own HIG, and one uncomfortable stat:
25% of App Store conversion comes from the icon alone! 🤯

I finally refreshed the @RetroSelfieApp landing page! 🚀
The app outran the site. This pass was about clarity: mobile, light/dark, less noise, faster "oh, I get it."
