@prasann_pandya @BrianMRey I posted tweet about it like an hour ago. There’s also link to the form. Check my profile

[Hosh @domhosh]

@borrhensaidi Better try building our dreams now than regret later 🙏. Even if I fail, that experience is worth it

[Hosh @domhosh]

Just turned down a $12k/mo job offer 💼❌
Am I crazy? Maybe 🤯

But I want to keep hustling on my own stuff.
Bet on yourself. Always. 🔨

[Hosh @domhosh]

@kushalbaid16 @BrianMRey Hope you’ll get approved soon. It’s terrible what’s going on rn

[Hosh @domhosh]

@karthikponna19 What is this flashbang 😂

[Hosh @domhosh]

First review on the App Store and it's a 1 star rating because the app costs money. Can't make this up 😂

[Hosh @domhosh]

I waited 8 days for an update to my app on the App Store to get approved.

Submitted an Expedited Review and it was approved 2 hours later! 🤯

If you're ever stuck waiting on review, this 2-field form saved me: https://t.co/uogpgkVBs7

@anshuc @theo I second this! When I used Expo back then, it was way harder to achieve a nice UI compared to UIKit

@marclou Loved Shanghai, such an insane city ❤️

My only question: why are there dead Mickey Mouses for sale? Anyone care to explain? 😂

[Hosh @domhosh]

@alexcooldev Maybe on simpler tasks performance is on par, but on heavy tasks, Fable absolutely destroys Opus

[Hosh @domhosh]

@makatack_ 100% 👍 I default to declining meetings until the other side proves it couldn’t just be an email.

@arthursbuilds What do you think is causing that drop-off? I'm just about to test a multi-step paywall myself.

[Hosh @domhosh]

This video on paywalls is pure gold 🥇

5 quick takeaways:
1️⃣ Multi-page flows beat single screens
2️⃣ Adding friction in onboarding filters low-quality trial users
3️⃣ Clear trial timelines reduce drop-offs
4️⃣ Small UX tweaks (like "cancel anytime") stack up
5️⃣ Test whole layout shifts, not button colors

@paulmbw Great idea! I'd like to hear your feedback on https://t.co/vrU4jV4pha 🙏

[Hosh @domhosh]

@TTrimoreau Iterate on the paywall until it starts converting, and prioritize distribution over adding more features

[Hosh @domhosh]

The video shows the standard paywall without the free trial. Here is the trial-eligible version instead (translated via AI btw):

⚠️Something weird is happening with my onboarding.

Testing $10/day Meta Ads on a smaller market and stumbled upon an absurd pattern:

Last 48h:
⬇️40 downloads
✅95% finished a 20-step onboarding 🤯
⚠️92% closed the app within 2 seconds of hitting the paywall (ignoring the 3-day free trial)

High intent, zero conversion.

How would you interpret this? Time to overhaul the paywall?

Here’s the current onboarding flow 👇
