Launched my book tracker app this week and I'm going to dive in on the whole ASO thing

Day 1: already #4 for one niche keyword but no big deal since it has very low popularity

let's see how it goes

@lbertozzi Por isso acho que algumas das críticas feitas ao Brasil hoje foram injustas exatamente por conta disso. O Japão defendeu com quase perfeição, temos que normalizar passar sufoco contra esse tipo de time e não chamar qualquer coisa de vexame

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@alexcooldev Also I think it’s possible he just got unlucky. Sometimes you do everything right and this happens anyway

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@adamlyttleapps That’s crazy! Here in Brazil the country literally stops to watch the games. Everyone gets released from work and schools close too

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

hit my first $100 MRR today. for legal reasons i can’t disclose how many hours of my life this cost but the hourly rate is deeply illegal

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

get judged by your boat too: https://t.co/rSY1TenU93

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

there is a small sailboat that lives in my app and its entire job is to be visibly disappointed in me

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

we all know by now you can't skip marketing, right? not news anymore

the thing is I had zero visibility into whether I was building too much or distributing too little across my products. I remember seeing tips to split your time between coding and marketing 50/50

so I built something: if I skip marketing, my boat sinks ⛵️

it's LIVE on Product Hunt today, upvote if this hits close to home and let's set sail :)

@jackfriks @postbridge_ @lovelee_app but in a world where you don't have post bridge and lovelee is your #1, would you get rid of the freemium model at all or just make it less generous?

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@seraleev what’s your take on soft paywalls but without a free trial?

users can stay on the free plan forever, but upgrading to premium requires subscribing immediately, no trial period.

been thinking about testing this for a while. feels like it could filter out low-intent trial users

Extra extra… Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is back at #MagicKingdom! 🚂 Reporters from The Tumbleweed Tribune were on the scene to cover the attraction’s big reopening. 📰

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@ereniroh Yeah, and as a Brazilian, I can confidently say this is a real game changer in certain countries.

In Brazil, for example, people are very used to buying things in installments. It’s just part of the culture, and it makes a huge difference here.

@jpgomide @gabrielfuh_ como zagueiro ia mal no PSG. como volante, agora está um fenômeno

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@filippkowalski my experience with gpt-5.4 high or extra high is usually very high quality and high precision debugging for complex tasks, I think it does that better than any model

But for regular day to day use I agree Claude is still superior

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

trying out codex now with the $100 plan - what's the go-to model everyone's using? I was used to go fully opus 4.6 with the $200 Claude Code

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@blogdocarlao Acho que vai o Paquetá no lugar do andrey e talvez o Neymar no lugar do Igor. De resto, acho que tá cravado

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@vitorsergio @FlashscoreBR Bizarro pensar que o último jogo de mata mata de copa que a Italia jogou foi a final contra a França em 2006…

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@maks6361 In general, Codex is a better value. It should have higher limits with very high quality too. But if you like claude or just prefer the claude models than the $200 plan is very good too!

I wouldn’t go with Cursor tbh, their limits are super low right now for the good models

[Felipe Lira @liraf_]

@wvborges Acho que a gente vai ter que ver o jogo contra a Croácia. Se repetir essa atuação complica MUITO deixar ele de titular na copa

@jeiting yeah, also not sure this maps that well to indie startups tbh

if you have LTV > CAC and churn is under control (with very low costs) you probably have a healthy business
