Pls don't bankrupt me Apple

This new step should be fun. I've played around with Meta ads before but first time with Apple ads.

Will share updates.

@imkevinmosek Great format can I copy it?

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@noman_huge Neither ngl... I feel like there could be a better shape/design to represent login.

@chiefkittenme Submit the app for review to Apple ASAP. Even if it's not ready. They'll 100% deny it for some reasons you completely missed. Better to know in advance.

@calledjustus UGC is def great, I just started myself so still learning tho, same with Meta ads and all other aspects of marketing tbh

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@soy_muse I'm building a savings app to make saving feel more fun. What's everyone else building?

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@Gaus450 Create your own UGC vids for social media, SEO engine, find interns to help, test tons of paid ads and invest in the best ones, influencer partnerships, etc.

@itsalicesoul If the vibe coder is more willing to learn and adapt quicker vs a traditional coder who doesn’t want to change their ways, yes. If they both keep up to date and use the latest tools then of course more experience is better.

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@defyneric Will be very good for everyday people who never bothered to learn about personal finance

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@paulg Just copped my basically pre-rev startup's .com for $4k, the right domain is definitely worth it

[Benjamin Thomas @benthomasmtl]

@FundamentEdge I feel like Opus has already been able to do this for many months including all the research, data scraping, formatting, etc.

@paulg If you're smart enough you can get by just going to midterms and finals + self-teaching the material the day before, leaving lots of time for a startup or other endeavors. Worked well for many people I know.
