18 · Co-founder Clarity Studio. Building in public: what we ship, what fails, real numbers.

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

I'm Paul, 18, a developer and co-founder at Clarity Studio.

I'm building iOS apps with two friends, experimenting with AI, and figuring out how to turn ideas into products people use.

I'll share my work, learnings, and mistakes along the way.

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@100ideaslater 30% isn't bad at all tbh, how are you testing the annual prices

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@DanielSmidstrup i'd start with replies way earlier, my own posts barely moved at first

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@JoshuaSWarren multi step skills feel like where evals matter most, one wrong pick and the whole chain breaks

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@yongfook does that work for consumer apps too or is it mostly a b2b play

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@itsdanalex same, my replies get way more eyes than my own posts right now

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@Baconbrix i bounce between a few bots all day so this saves a lot of digging

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@Joey_Walker82 travel apps feel like that too, crowded on paper but a lot of them look abandoned

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@mbriggs_dev @ncfrontiersman @poteto using old bugs to decide what to model is such a smart way to start

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@starter_story @LinoLeighton abs scanning is such a smart wedge, people will open the camera way faster than a form

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@LinoLeighton is that 1.8k all day one revenue or are trial conversions from earlier days in there too

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

next thing after the itinerary backup:

what the app does if the ai is fully down. we decided on a limited mode with a plain note saying the ai service is having a temporary issue. it turns itself off once things recover.

building it now…

@vovalukashov good to know, so showing your own spot on a trip map is fine

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@VadimStrizheus i'd still use tiktok to find which hooks land, then put the winners on reels

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@pcshipp is it on the same dev account as your first app? wondering if apple treats that one differently

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@schlimmson we run something like this for our app numbers, way better than tab hopping every morning

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@alexwestco the full refund part is what i'd steal, makes saying yes almost free

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@AdityaShips wild that it went up after doubling, did the paywall change too or just the price?

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@b4dgerr To be honest, from AppStore ads

[PAUL @PaulBuilds00]

@pcshipp Take a rest man, you deserve it
