Confima @grok?

@brkaydev You're right, the real signal is whether they find enough value to keep using the app throughout the trial. Will keep an eye on that. Thanks for sharing

Day 2 of building in public.

A random moment from my day:

RevenueCat lights up my phone. Someone just started a yearly Moss Plus trial.

Instant happiness. Suddenly, the whole day feels a little better. 😂

A few seconds later, another notification.

The same person cancelled their trial.

And just like that, back to reality. 🥲

Indie app life is a rollercoaster.

For those of you building subscription-based apps, how do you deal with trial churn? Do you offer free trials, introductory pricing, or skip trials altogether?

Would love to hear what pricing strategies are working for you.

@pcshipp I just keep updating these in regular interval , i believe it somehow do affect the conversion

Day 1 of posting here daily.

5 months building Dew(https://t.co/sIB2CNgjrf) and Moss(https://t.co/D4hoxUuexW). Monetized 2 weeks ago.

$74 revenue. $19 MRR. 4 paying users.

Growth is slow. But the people who find it love it, and they stay.

Building in public from here. Every win, every flop.

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

@aksenHQ mostly from app store search

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

@mathiasvrb 50-50

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

@yigittbuilds not really , mostly from app store search or reddit

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

That’s a good suggestion! The only challenge is that both Dew and Moss are privacy-first apps, so I don’t collect emails or any personal information to contact users directly. From in-app feedback and App Store reviews, I’ve noticed that most people seem to discover us through App Store search or word of mouth. Still figuring out how to make the most of that.

My Medium earnings have gone from almost $2.7k/month when I started writing actively to barely $3–9/month now.

I know platforms change, but this drop feels insane.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Did something change with Medium's algorithm, or have you found ways to get your readership and earnings back up?

Would love to hear what's working for other writers.

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

Much needed!

We're adding a new plugin to Claude Code: You should Know.

It scans Claude's output for important information you might miss to help keep you in the loop.

Enable it with:

/plugin enable cc-plugin-you-should-know@builtin

Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra.

Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

My take: your agent is no longer the bottleneck. You are.

5 agents ≠ 5x output. It's 5x the review load, and review doesn't parallelize.

I went deep on how Orca, Paperclip & the rest of the stack work 👇

[Abhishek Agarwal @abhi_ag165]

The top of GitHub trending this week isn't a framework or a model.

It's a new job description.

Paperclip: 94K ⭐ (+10.5K this week)
Orca: 81K ⭐
Hindsight: +15.5K this week

All built on one assumption: you won't write the code. You'll manage the agents that do. 🧵
