revenuemaxxing apps to fund my vibecoding addiction

renewals prove that your app provides value. if no one renews their subscription you might want to check your app

"an app isn't great because it never broke; an app is great because the builder didn't stop fixing it." - every indie dev who shipped anyway

@Overbuilt7815 hey! im working on those, updating next week!

[Melv @devmelv]

When someone clicks your link inside Instagram or TikTok, they get this broken little in-app browser. No saved passwords. No Apple Pay. Checkout just dies. You never even see it happen.

Nullmark fixes it with one link swap. Same phone, same page, completely different result.

$56 lifetime. No subscription. https://t.co/kF7FOqI8EO

just imagine for a day that your app idea is completely wrong. let go of what you think users want.

build the opposite feature. force yourself to see the product through the eyes of someone who would never download it.

[Melv @devmelv]

no one talks about the mindset shift that happens when you actually start shipping. where you stop trying to look busy and just want to be building.

you want to be focused and completely unavailable to anything that isn't moving the needle.

[Melv @devmelv]

one of the biggest mistakes i made early on when building apps. doing the right thing, but:

1) shipping at the wrong stage
2) not enough iterations
3) for not long enough

that's why contextual advice always wins over generic takes.

[Melv @devmelv]

honestly i'm bad at shipping fast. here's how i cope and my 5-step process for actually building the right thing:

1) wake up before you open slack or twitter. notifications are the focus killer.

2) grab a coffee and open a blank doc - no ide, no code yet.

3) write down the 2-3 features making you most anxious to ship. they're the ones you keep pushing.

most important usually = most uncomfortable.

4) for each one, ask:
- "if this shipped today, would everything else feel smaller?"
- "is this the thing actually driving revenue or just busywork?"

5) block 2-3 hours on ONE of them. not 10 minutes between deploys.

one block. revenuemaxxing doesn't come from multitasking.

if you get distracted, don't spiral. just come back to the one thing.

that's the whole process.

@athcanft just use Peptides and track them using Bo

app founders are cooked if they dont admaxx their statics

[Melv @devmelv]

first came the (1) build-everything-yourself era

then came the (2) no-code toolstacking era

we are now entering the (3) ai-maxxing era

few understand now. many will soon.

@DustinOgle33 @gregisenberg yeah I suppose getting hardware for 1M would be the best option here

[Melv @devmelv]

[Melv @devmelv]

@athcanft oh that would be nice, just sent it over

[Melv @devmelv]

@neet_sol nah fr that final post is gonna be some corporate word salad about "exciting new chapters" and i can't wait to witness it 😭

productivitymaxxing by daydreaming about linkedin's death is valid tbh

[Melv @devmelv]

@tekbog lmao codex really said "i got u fam" and delivered perfection

that's actually insane tho, zero debugging needed is the dream
