Today we're opening up the DoorDash CLI in limited beta.

`dd-cli` lets you order DoorDash directly from your agent: search stores, find the best deals, check out, and more.

Early access for US/Canadian macOS developers by waitlist. Excited to see what folks build!

I launched my app 2 months ago. Here are my numbers.

May: $330 total revenue
June $3,650 total revenue

Total users: 3,200 and counting

Alhamduilillah (glory be to God)

What was the key difference between the two months?
Posting high volume quality content more consistently

I went viral twice in June and ranked #18 in the UK purely because I got more posts up

Distribution is the differentiator now, especially with how much AI has lowered the barrier to entry for shipping IOS app

Consistency and volume is the name of the game (for everything tbh)

Follow for more of my journey

Does anyone know how to get out of 0 view jail on TikTok? I’ve heard don’t post and only engage w content for 72 hours but not sure how legit that is

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

@Kartikmaan_ Where can I find the details on how to warm up the accounts?

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

@StevenCravotta People pay 8 dollars for coffee. That helps me get past this fear lol

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

Just found out my app is ranked #18 in the UK. Alhamdulillah 🤲🏽

Any developer with fewer than 2M app installs can now get frontier-level model performance in their app. For free. Integrated with the existing FoundationModels API.

That ought to be the headline out of WWDC.

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

@seraleev Honestly I’m for this. It’ll weed out people who aren’t actively trying to crack distribution, which is the real challenge now

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

@emkara This is awesome, back when I was using n8n to build automations for local businesses I hated that my biz partner and I couldn’t work on a workflow at the same time. Kudos to you Waleed and the rest of the Sim team 👏🏽

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

It’s such a dopamine spike when you find a reliable content format to distribute your app

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

@azeemq101 Thank god you posted this. I took my trial out as well and saw the same trend w my app

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

Has anyone tried making their app onboarding scrollable instead of swipeable? How did it go?

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

To whoever needs this, just keep stacking days

[Umer Molai @umeramolai]

Everyone keeps saying AI lowered the barrier to entry in tech.

I think it did the complete opposite.

The bar to be average dropped. The bar to be great went WAY up.

Finding problems in businesses and knowing how to actually implement AI is the real skill.

That's what separates people right now.

I quit my job 3 months ago. Not because I had it figured out. Because I needed my back against the wall to take it seriously.

And what I've seen since is the tools to build something great are sitting right there.

Accessible. Affordable. And importantly more powerful than ever.

AI isn't replacing people. It's exposing the people willing to move and the ones who are going to just keep watching.

I chose to move. Revvo is live, clients are coming in.

The window for opportunity is open & I am wasting no time.

[mes @mes28io]

lately i figured it out

reading or watching app founders, how they grew their app organically doesnt teach me anything

cause everytime they are trying to cover smt up

but 15 year old organic dropshipping guys are crazy asf

they are telling everything, why and how they did

just search "organic dropshipping" and watch the small YT account

you are gonna learn a lot

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]

Remember to always be grateful. There's people that would do anything to have the opportunities you have and be in the position you're currently in. Alhamdulillah always

[Ahmed Baig @ahmedabaig]
