@AntonioEscudero Congrats, been heads down on distribution too. Curious though are these actually moving keyword rankings/organic traffic for you? Tracking the distinction of "good" links has been the rabbit hole I'm in lately.

I built Cursor for Google Docs. Powered by Claude. Type /humanize and Ghost-1 makes any paragraph bypass AI detectors.

@alexroyhe the 'y' is hard to digest but it looks amazing

32 downloads. $0 in revenue. 2 months.

I built this app, launched it on the App Store, and never touched it again. This is the result.

Building and launching is maybe 10% of the work.

The other 90% is everything nobody wants to talk about: Distribution. Retention. Churn. SEO. Marketing. Scaling. Finding product-market fit. Iterating when it's not working. Iterating when it looks ugly. And Iterating again.

Don't listen to tweets saying "indie hacking is the new dropshipping" or "just build X and make Y/day."

The only edge that matters is doing the boring work that most people quit after launch day.

or have 200k followers

I cut churn by 20% in 3 weeks with a single AI prompt, in 15 minutes.

Before:
User clicks cancel → Stripe billing opens → they're gone.

I was literally holding the door open for them.

After:
User clicks cancel → instead of Stripe, they hit a cancellation flow:
1. Offer to pause their subscription
2. If no → ask why
- Too expensive? → 1 free month
- Competitor is better? → make them type what they like about it (gold dust for product)
- Technical issues? → contact us
3. If still no → 50% off for 3 months
4. If STILL no → open Stripe billing, let them go

Most people never make it past step 2 but the ones who do give you the best feedback you'll ever get.

-20% churn. For free.
