Building apps.

[zelva @_3nty_]

Getting distribution is not the hard part anymore.

You can post, run ads, get views, reach people.

But turning that attention into real users, installs, and paying customers ?

That’s the real challenge when building an app.

People will tell you they understand what you’re going through, what you feel, what it’s like.

But the truth is, no one really knows.

No one feels it exactly the way you do.
No one carries it the way you carry it.

Only you truly know what you’re living.

What’s the first thing you do when your app isn’t getting any traction ?

Do you change the positioning, improve the product, talk to more users, post more content, run ads, or just keep testing ?

I vibe coded my app.

Now I’m going full marketing mode and figuring that part out by myself too.

Let’s see if this was the right move.

law of attraction is real.

Is it a bad idea to rename my app after launch if I found a better name ?

[zelva @_3nty_]

What’s the best place to promote your app when you’re just starting out ?

TikTok, X, Reddit, Instagram… or somewhere else?

No debate, Europe in summer just hits different.

Now that I’ve launched my first app, I want to build different businesses while still growing and managing it.

But I keep wondering if I should stay fully focused on one project first, or explore other ideas at the same time.

to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

For founders who launched their app early :

If the app is live but still has bugs, would you focus 100% on marketing first to get users and feedback, or start looking for a technical co-founder now to help stabilize and improve the product ?

[zelva @_3nty_]

how long did it take you to get your first subscription transaction after launching your app ?

If you’re building an app, apply to Apple’s Small Business Program as early as possible.

it’s free & reduce your App store commission.

Building an app is one thing.

Getting people to actually care about it is a completely different game.
