Software engineer shipping consumer apps after my 9-5. 3 apps live. Now: rebuilding my failed calorie tracker into a PCOS nutrition app — in public, real number

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

My AI calorie tracker made exactly $0.

90 days live. 3.48K impressions, 77 downloads, not a single trial started. (receipts attached)

I'm not killing it — I'm rebuilding it for one specific niche: women with PCOS. New brand, new angle, same engine.

Shipping the pivot this week. Real numbers every week from here.

Day 0.

@maks6361 What kind of Shorts do you create? UGC? App demos?

@stevedesignerd Damn, this looks insane 🔥

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@ErnestoSOFTWARE Yeah, I get that. But what if you don’t have $3k to start with? How would you approach it with a $0 budget?

@danc_danc @Shipaton Not in my case 😅 I went with Flutter + Flame. Add Claude Code to the mix, and you can build a simple game in a matter of days.

Decided to give @Shipaton a shot.
Leaving my comfort zone: building a mobile game for the first time in my life.
Already have a playable PoC 👇

@marleen_swift @Shipaton Thanks 😊 Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun building something. I might be the only one who ever plays it, and I’m totally fine with that. 😂

@justddev Seeing 100 new trials in RevenueCat? Never happened to me though, just daydreaming 🤣

@SinaSinry CPA below $13? Isn’t that a misspelling? That’s huge. Mine is $1.30. What’s your expected LTV then?

@Samaytwt Delegating tasks won’t make you dumber. But delegating thinking absolutely will.

@DanKulkov Same. I’ve been waiting for more than a week and I’m starting to think about requesting an expedited review.

@adamlyttleapps For me, if a tool has no MCP, it’s a big no-no. I’m not subscribing.

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@DavidOndrej1 Maybe it’s not following instructions, but at least it’s burning through the whole 5-hour token limit in a matter of 15 minutes 🤣

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@eliana_jordan Most of my app ideas come from TikTok. I’ve basically turned one of my accounts into a research tool. 🤷‍♂️

@lr392860 I can scroll X while Codex builds my next unicorn. 😂

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@anah_sahh I think the code mostly looks like:
consumeTokens();
sleep(3000);
respond();
😂

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@rxhit05 I have both. Codex has better limits. You’ll ship more with codex

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@rsalimx That’s cool. Can’t wait to read it!

[Piotr Builds @PiotrBuilds]

@VadimStrizheus This percentage-based limit is basically a scam. Just show me the actual token count instead of some vague percentage. 😅

@attacomsian Hi 👋 what are you building?
