apple is so shit to work with it’s been 4 days since i expedited a critical bug fix and not even in review i’m actually just getting fucked by apple at this point what’s the point of an expedited request atp it’s so useless
build in public day whatever
7.7M tiktok views
$85 mrr
still waiting on apple to approve my update 😭
the honest part of building in public is the gap between those 2 numbers
views are easy once you find the format
turning them into paying users is the real game
what closed that gap for you
day 3 of waiting on apple
asked for an expedited review
still not even in review 😭
my crash fix and my ads are both parked behind one button in cupertino
whatever
everything else keeps shipping
longest you've waited on an expedited review?
tiktok slideshows got my app 7.7M views in a month
no ads
no face
no editing skills
if you're building an app and not posting slideshows you're leaving views on the table
the trick isn't the post
it's copying the format that keeps showing up 📱
7.7M views in 28 days
no face. no ads. just slideshows and claude
here's the whole system + what i'd do differently
comment "GRADE" and i'll dm you the claude prompt that grades my hooks before i post
got my first 1 star review today
the bug they hit is already fixed
the fix has been sitting in apple's expedited review for 48+ hours
not even in review yet
apple is speedrunning my reviews for me 😭
paid apple $99 a year for the privilege of waiting
expedited review submitted 48 hours ago
still not even in review
$500 in ads ready to go the second it clears
app builders how long did yours actually take
RIP Kurzgesagt's 25 MILLION subscriber empire.
there's a reason nobody could replicate their videos: each one took 1,200 HOURS of work and a team of 50+ animators.
well i just recreated their iconic animation style using Opus 5.5.
ONE prompt. cost $0. 99.99% code.
imagine how many different channels you can automate with with this. science, history, memes, all being produced 24/7 for free.
i'm turned the exact process into a FREE Claude skill so anyone can recreate these animations.
