I built a sleep app using Apple SoundAnalysis and custom audio processing. It stays totally silent until it detects snoring, your cat meowing, or loud outside noises, then instantly masks them with smart audio shields to protect your sleep. #buildinpublic
Guys, I've given up. The Apple algorithm, working 13 hours a day doing physical labor elsewhere, the stress, the refunds, the advertising budget... 11 months later I'm still in the same place. 3 apps, total revenue $100. #buildinpublic

Quiet day on code, but Drown picked up a few more downloads organically. Still pushing for those first conversions
I have a plan to break the App Store algorithm for one person's app every week here. We'll download it, use it, and write reviews. Then, naturally, random normal users will start showing up. Haha

Drown had a 2-day free trial. Removing it today and started coding the change. If users want to try it, they can use the $1.99/week option.

@yevloop Thanks! there was downloading 2-3 times a day before as well. But no one paid much. And actually need to download more, but I don't have the budget for marketingโฆ

Posted on Reddit today to get feedback on the apps. Didn't build much else, but keeping the momentum going.
