Solo founder vibe-coding iOS apps in public. Native Swift, no team, no funding. Chasing $10K MRR — sharing every lesson & number. (not naming the app yet 👀)

[Caden · vibe-coding to $10K MRR ⭐ @cadenvibecode]

tore down Duolingo’s onboarding.

4 things they nail:

1. They start with intent.
“What do you want to learn?” comes before a feature tour.

2. They respect different starting points.
New here? Start simple.
Already know some? Find your level.

3. They turn a tiny commitment into momentum.
Pick a daily goal.
Then make the streak visible everywhere.

4. They get you into the product quickly.
You’re learning before you’ve had time to overthink it.

the one I’m taking for my iOS app:

make the first meaningful action happen before explaining every feature.

most onboarding tries to describe the value.

better onboarding lets you feel it.

what app gets its first minute right?

[Caden · vibe-coding to $10K MRR ⭐ @cadenvibecode]

Respectfully, opposite for me. Every feature adds surface area I maintain solo; every screen cut adds activation.

Subtraction wins when you're a team of one

[Caden · vibe-coding to $10K MRR ⭐ @cadenvibecode]

To every solo founder reading this:
You don’t need a co-founder to validate your idea.
You don’t need a big team to ship something useful.
You don’t need permission to start.
You just need to keep showing up when no one’s watching.
That’s the whole game.
We’re all building in the dark together. Keep the lights on.

@master_jpma Followed you

[Caden · vibe-coding to $10K MRR ⭐ @cadenvibecode]

Hot take: "build in public" is dead advice if you have no product.

It's not content.

It's a byproduct of shipping something real.

Post the build, not the "journey."

a founder profile can have the perfect bio and still give people no reason to follow.

the bio makes a promise.
the posts prove it.

mine had the first and none of the second. fixing that now.

[Caden · vibe-coding to $10K MRR ⭐ @cadenvibecode]

i've spent more time building than talking about it.

so i'm fixing that.

solo founder. native Swift. no team, no funding. i'm building an iOS app and documenting the real work from here: what ships, what breaks, and what i learn.

keeping the product itself blurry for now. the lessons won't be.
