testing what makes consumer apps grow.
building velo: your app’s AI influencer, done for you ↓

[bruno ➞ velo.alborapps.com @bruno_apps]

At 22 I flew to Panama to close the brazilian import deal for SelvaRey, Bruno Mars rum brand.

My passport was expired. My yellow fever certificate came late. My english was rusty.

I closed it anyway.

Then I quit everything to build my own thing. Here’s what happened 👇

13M views on a 23.8 second wedding video. 218.9k saves.

that's 1 save every 59 views. 3.5x more saves than shares (our math).

the mechanic: "we gave every guest a camera instead of hiring more photographers..."

nobody shares a wedding idea. they save it for their own wedding. the app (once) is the camera.

why it's simple: one real moment, one idea you want to steal, the app is the tool that makes it happen.

the template: "we did [unexpected thing] instead of [normal expensive thing]..." + the moment it paid off

0% median engagement.

that's a link post on a free X account since march 2025, per buffer's 18.8M posts.

premium doesn't fix it either: link posts still engage at about a third of text posts.
