Can a 28-year-old start all over again?

[ASO Alerts @ASOalerts]

Seeing a competitor’s current App Store listing is useful.

Quickly comparing what changed is even more useful.

That’s where patterns start to appear — shifts in positioning, creative direction, or ASO strategy.

Still tracking this manually?
👉 Try ASO Alerts and save time.

[ASO Alerts @ASOalerts]

ASO is often reduced to competitor keyword tracking.

But some of the most useful signals appear earlier in listing changes:

title
description
screenshots
short description
feature graphic

Keyword rankings lag.

Listing changes happen now – which means you can react faster.

"we don't have competitors" means you haven't googled hard enough

I will test this “grow organically” trend from VCs on my latest B2B SaaS @ASOalerts

So far, I’ve made 2 posts on Reddit and 1 on Discord about this product

Also a few posts on X and LinkedIn from the product profiles

I don’t think it will get real traction without paid ads

[db @dbjoyyy]

@PascalZeMarshal Sun Tzu would be proud of you 🤣

[justin waldron @jtwald]

VCs who say great products don’t need paid ads have never scaled a successful mobile app.

[Joshua Martin @Jbm_dev]

the ai wrapper discourse is so lazy

- google is a wrapper around websites.
- uber is a wrapper around drivers.
- stripe is a wrapper around banks.

if your only criticism of a product is "it's a wrapper" you don't understand how businesses work.

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

you shouldn't be allowed to be a VC if you haven't worked/built a startup

idk why this would be controversial

[db @dbjoyyy]

such a good observation

[justin waldron @jtwald]

Distribution has always been the hard part.

It’s just now everyone who couldn’t code before can see it. Welcome to the arena.

@quxiaoyin 💯💯 such a great take and no course was needed

[db @dbjoyyy]

@StefanGeorgi @bgurley those SF VCs are truly delulu, living in a bubble

[db @dbjoyyy]

@MSUKyleBrown @bgurley caught in 4K 🤣🤣

[db @dbjoyyy]

imagine being so delulu

[Olivia Moore @omooretweets]

In consumer, paid ads generally = lack of true product market fit

I have yet to see a generational startup with largely paid ad-driven growth…

[Arun @hiarun02]

The real danger of AI isn’t job loss.

It’s losing the habit of thinking.

Where are my fellow ASO specialists?

I’ve built a tool to make competitor app tracking easier:
