@Abhishocked @_mohansolo I used to use antigravity extensively when cable and codex ran out… never ran out with antigravity lol.

@ImSh4yy I’m reverting a lot to ChatGPT 5.5 to avoid burning through.

[Mielad @mieladific]

My largest competitor is according to ChatGPT doing about 300-700K MRR. Let’s see what piece of the pie I can carve for myself.

[Mielad @mieladific]

10 users. SEO continuing. Got over 800 routes for my domain now in multiple languages.

[Mielad @mieladific]

SEO is kind of fun? I never thought I’d be much into marketing but trying to analyze how search engines approach your website structure makes the work quite interesting.

[Mielad @mieladific]

I BEEN WAITIN

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

10M!

New day, new usage reset for paid users of Codex and ChatGPT Work. Lands in the next hour. Enjoy.

@OfficialLoganK I wish you all the best, but people care more about how it compares to other models on the market rather than your own previous model. No point in telling me youve got a cooler bike than your previous bike when everybody else is riding motorcycles.

This is exactly what I did, but I just automated the features that I needed - using the things I liked about his product. I didn’t need to set up the whole product, because I’m not planning to use everything he’s got.

Incredible interaction here between @_mattwelter and @pedrotech_ showing exactly what's going on

No judgement on both btw, just interesting to observe:

Matt complains how he improved his product 10x but revenue is down by 1/3rd. Shouldn't it go up if you make the product better? The thing is every competitor also made their product 10x better using AI. So AI raised the baseline quality of everyone's apps (easier to make great apps) and increased competition (easier to enter the market)

But then one of his customers @pedrotech_ replies how he loved the app so much he decided to vibecode his own version for himself "so he didn't have to pay"

This exactly shows:
- everyone thinks they're improving their app but everyone is improving the same amount with AI (but not many realizing), it's like a race but everyone gets nitro now without realizing everyone else has nitro too
- barrier to entry is gone, anyone can just clone an app and enter as a competitor
- personal software is here, as he just cloned an existing app to not have to pay for it anymore
- he then only pays for API tokens for LLM or image models to the model hosters and model owners

So you went from a business chain of
- customer > app > ai model provider

To
- customer > ai model provider

The app layer is possibly getting removed!

Sometimes I think I ain't got my brain in the right place. I had an automation to post every day 7 and 10... then I thought... What if I just make an automation that uses the Buffer automation to post everyday at 7 and 10...

Anyway, that saves me some credits.

Like I got 6 trials going rn with 4 monthly and 2 annual subs, and all I’m thinking is.. ok but apple developer access costs 75 pounds annually, and my supabase will cost 25 bucks a month… and I’m paying xyz for AI… then it’s 15% tax by Apple, 60% tax… and man it hurts.

Working on your own app will have you loving life. Finally getting traction. It’s amazing that dopamine rush.

What they don’t tell you about being an indie dev is that it’s expensive. Like you’re already in the negative before you’ve acquired your customers because you have to build infrastructure and maintain it, pay for AI, pay for a domain, pay for this that and the other

[Mielad @mieladific]

Slow traction baby. Slow and steady.

[Mielad @mieladific]

@OpenAI @thsottiaux @sama great work guys. Amazing stuff.

[Mielad @mieladific]

Look… ChatGPT’s codex app is the everything app. I am building 4 different products, each doing different things. One is adding features, another is testing something for me for one of my apps, another is helping me get GEO targets, and another is setting up one of my apps in

[Mielad @mieladific]

the play store.

I have not gone to my terminal, nor have I gone to my browser. I’m fully inside of the app for hours. I really like the pet at the top right that lets me know when one of my conversations have finished running and I can jump on it to steer it further.
