Should I apply this to my meta ads?

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

Still trying to figure out how this works... Meanwhile, Forage's organic downloads and trial-to-paid conversion are looking pretty awesome after months of zero income!

@tibo_maker Nice work it looks amazing! I also have an old game I coded back in 2020 that I never finished. This looks like a good opportunity to finally get back to it. It's about stop smoking as you might see haha

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

I wanted to test it for myself.

Like pretty much everyone says, Search Tab and Product Page campaigns feel completely random.

Now I've seen it firsthand.

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

@adamlyttleapps love it!

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

First time getting 3 Pro sign-ups in a single day with organic traffic!

...and this is from a product I was so close to giving up on.

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

Over the past few weeks, I've built and refined four apps. From now on, I'll be sharing daily updates on the marketing strategies I'm using to grow them and turn them into a sustainable source of income.

@adriamatz @katarinaore is it more likely with a spanish number?

[Kevin Baur @kevinocodes]

Found an abandoned App Store product with an open source database of millions of entries.
Should I wrap it up and relaunch it as my own? 🛠️

being too creative might be hurting your revenue

the people i know making real money aren't doing anything original

same channels, same offers, same basic stuff

they just picked one thing and got genuinely good at it

creative is for when you have distribution. boring is for when you need to eat

The moment GitPulse went down after a traffic spike, I learned more about my architecture than in the 4 months before it.

Nothing reveals your assumptions like load.

Race conditions I thought were edge cases. Rate limits I thought were generous. Sync calls I thought were fine.

Production is just a stress test you didn't schedule.

7 months of 12-hour days

then a user sends one message saying it changed how they work

nothing hits quite like that

a $10B company is suing a small competitor for "using rings to display health stats"

Apple has used rings for years

Google too

also apparently the moon icon for sleep data is now intellectual property

this is what happens when legal becomes a product strategy

@steipete ships 14,668 commits/year across 108 projects.
Is it him? His agents? Both?
Doesn't matter, GitPulse tracks what actually gets merged.

This is the new developer profile. https://t.co/3uww36Sh4K

@SaidAitmbarek @MicroLaunchHQ Thank you!
I will

Your best employee just handed in their notice.

You have two weeks to capture everything in their head that isn’t written down anywhere.

Most companies fail at this. Not because they don’t care, but because they don’t have the right process.

SkillPass gives you exactly that. Role-specific knowledge transfer, structured and ready to go.
