A client's cleaner app took over a minute to scan the gallery. Users tapped scan, watched a spinner, and left.

We cut it to 10 seconds. Subscriptions rose, and the app now makes around $500K a month.

Got a screen where users drop off? Send it to me, I'll take a look.

@dev_maims Claude after you say “just one small change” before the deadline 😂

@seraleev 100%.
Your icon is the first ad people see.
If it doesn’t stop the scroll, nothing else in the funnel even matters.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@aryanlabde Yes exactly. Your product should solve an actual pain problem for people and then you should focus on marketing it, to get it to be seen by actual people.

Some rules I strictly follow for my own apps and for my clients’ apps to avoid getting banned on the App Store.

The App Store rewards long-term thinking.
Everything else eventually gets filtered out.

@marclou We went from “learn to code” to “learn to think” real fast 😅
Now the bottleneck isn’t dev time, it’s idea quality + distribution.
Also that wall-of-screens setup sounds like every founder’s sci-fi dream… until we realize we’d still just procrastinate on a bigger screen 😂

@rezoundous Classic founder trap 😭
We act like the domain will make or break the business… when most successful startups started with terrible names.
Shipping fixes more than branding ever will.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@yongfook Hot take but kinda true 😅
Most “prompt engineering” is just… clear thinking and communication.
The better you understand the problem, the better the output.
Models got smarter, so the bottleneck moved back to humans again.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@LoicBerthelot Suddenly they remember you’re their most valuable customer 😂
Retention budget appears out of nowhere the moment you hit cancel.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@cesaralvarezll Apple’s getting stricter every month 😅
They basically want “trust first, revenue second.”
Clear pricing, clear terms, no dark patterns… even if it hurts conversion a bit.

Better to be transparent than stuck in review limbo for weeks.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@AlexFinn This is wild 😅
Feels like the next flex won’t be funding or headcount… it’ll be how many autonomous agents you have running 24/7.
Curious to see how long before this becomes the “normal” setup for founders.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@qasimbizs That combo is underrated.
Most people either validate but don’t ship, or ship but never validate 😅
Consistency is what compounds everything.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@Majumdar95d That's good then. As long as there's at least one real person managing all the agents.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@mksglu @seclawai Love the local-first angle.
Privacy + control is becoming a real differentiator now, not just a niche.
Feels like more people will move to on-device agents once they realize the cost + lock-in of cloud AI.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@studio03agency @TypesDigital Agent workflows.
Not just chat… but AI actually doing real tasks end to end.
Feels like the biggest leverage shift for businesses in the next few years.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@ziwenxu_ Sales.
Because if you can sell, you’ll learn marketing by default… and you can hire or learn any tech later.
Most founders don’t fail because of product or AI. They fail because they can’t convince people to buy.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@cesaralvarezll This is the formula most people miss.
Clear pain + simple solution + built-in distribution.
You don’t need a huge market, just a clear use case people instantly understand.
Execution and content would matter way more than features here.

[Bill @bmustafa97]

@alexoakdev That’s wild 🔥
Hitting those numbers with weak onboarding and no retention means the upside is huge.
Fix those and it could compound fast.
Respect for focusing on distribution first.
