This looks boring.
That’s why it works.
A banknote identifier app.
20k downloads.
$50k/month.
Collectors don’t want innovation.
They want tools that respect their obsession.
You start noticing these micro-markets once you study enough competitors (I usually do it on https://t.co/p2mnVBtl5t).
this vibe-coded app is making $20k per month using a simple tiktok strategy
it is triggering a deep human emotion: Healing after breaking a relationship
I picked 10 competitors for my new app idea and exported their app reviews using @peterai_app.
Then I fed Codex ~3.5k reviews and got curated summaries for each competitor - with 40%+ of the context window still free - providing plenty of room for follow-up questions.
I'd guess, Claude Code would already be out of context (and probably hitting the 5-hour usage limit 😅).
Codex is so much better at analyzing large amounts of data. 📊
I’ve decided to take my indie app development a bit more seriously, so I’ve purchased yearly subs for @TryAstroAppand @peterai_app 🚀
My goal: build a small app portfolio alongside my full-time job that, within 2 years, can cover my mortgage - roughly $2k MRR gross.
I’ll share my learnings along the way.💡

this app is making $20k with only 10k download...
by capturing a chart photo, and giving you trading insights
I analyzed it with https://t.co/uXwbpBE9sc and it seems to be a really profitable niche
i made a sick app for spying your competitors on AppStore
pls don't make guesses while making a new app
plan new features based on a research
this is how https://t.co/uXwbpBDBCE works
Your three essential apps for analyzing your competitors
PeterAI → to discover their weak points through reviews
- ScreenDesign → to analyze their onboarding and paywall
- TryAstroApp → to build a strong ASO strategy and spy on their keywords
This is how I study any competitor app before making a new one
spying on competition is essential, you can't go blind, look what users are saying, look what is working what is not
