Building iOS apps in public next to a 9 to 5 and a newborn.
Sharing what works for ASO, growth and monetization.

I switched my app from paid to free on Thursday.

Friday: 635 downloads.
Before that: 0 to 2 a day.

No ads. No launch.

@Bhoomi1021 Congrats on going live. Shipped my 5th iOS app last week, so I know the feeling. What does your SaaS do?

[Caspar @casparbuilds]

It’s not much, but every single internet dollar feels ridiculously good.

Three weeks ago, I genuinely couldn’t imagine this actually working.

Now real people are paying for something I built on the internet.

The amount almost doesn’t matter yet.

What matters is that it works.

That first bit of internet money feels less like revenue and more like proof.

Proof that you can build something from nothing, put it out there, and somehow find people willing to pay for it.

Still early. Still tiny.

But suddenly it feels real.

@elgermerlo iOS apps over here. 5 live, all built with Claude next to a full time job and a newborn. Latest one is a year in pixels mood tracker

[Caspar @casparbuilds]

It’s those two hours before the reset every week.

There’s something strange about suddenly being unable to do anything productive.

Time slows down. You become aware of the silence where momentum used to be.

Maybe that says something about how dependent we’ve become on AI.

When the tool disappears, what’s left?

How do you fill that hole?
