Bllbud is a free app to split bills, track shared expenses and settle up with friends. Built for every dinner, trip and outing where someone always ends up doing the math alone.
After a long time of building, testing, breaking things and fixing them again, it's finally out in the world.
The simplest way to manage expenses with people you spend time with.

@DmytroKrasun Incredible milestone, and curious about what kept you motivated in year 2 and 3 when growth was probably slower and the initial excitement had worn off?
@seraleev Following your journey closely!
One thing I find interesting is how you seem to respond to walls with experimentation rather than treating them as dead ends
When you were close to going bankrupt, was there a specific realization that helped, keep iterating instead of walking away
@marclou@shipordie_ Dogfooding your own product is underrated.
When the builder is also the most active user, feedback loops get insanely shorter.
The milestone trophies are a smart touch too. Turning revenue into a game changes how people think about getting their first dollar.
Someone on my feed just hit $10K MRR today.
10 months ago they had a gut feeling other devs were struggling with the same problem they were.
So they built the thing they wished existed. The best products always start with "I wish this existed."

@CalebPanza@postforme_dev@MisterMattRoth $10K MRR in 10 months is proof that solving your own problem is still the best product strategy. Congrats Caleb, 1500 devs trusting what you built says everything. Onward to $20K! 🚀
Posted in a plumber subreddit last night!
Got roasted first. Fair enough.
But then some said: "just curious what you wish existed that would save time each week"
"please build a scheduling function"
That's two real signals buried under the noise.

@wickedguro What I find interesting is that even at $100k plus MRR, you're still placing small bets alongside the main product.
Curious what changed the most between $10k and $100k MRR
Was it distribution, the product itself, or just staying consistent long enough for everything to compound?
One thing I've realized recently:
Most product ideas don't fail because nobody wants them. They fail because nobody wants them enough to change their current behavior.
Talking to users has made me think much more about habits and workflows than features.

@vitaliidodonov The last line really stands out.
A lot of builders assume a large audience comes first, but it seems like solving a real problem consistently is what creates leverage over time.
The audience often follows afterward.
@stevenpdev Interesting to see the breakdown of expenses alongside the revenue growth.
A lot of people (including me) focus on reaching $40k MRR, but posts like this are a good reminder that scaling is just as much about margins, taxes, ad efficiency, and operations as it is about revenue.
Finding a new place to move in while building on a side.
Funny how changing your environment makes you notice things differently.
A lot of productivity advice is about apps and systems, but lately I'm realizing how much physical space affects focus and execution.

Moving to a new place while building a product on the side.
Lesson: your environment affects your output more than your tools do.
Setting up the space this week. Back to shipping next week.

@alpeshznakrani Exciting! Would love to connect when you start exploring mobile. I specialize in KMM one codebase, native Android + iOS. Currently building at a 20M+ user platform. Feel free to DM whenever mobile is on the roadmap!
@div_supply The pattern recognition from client work is something you can't get from building in isolation. Are any of your three products mobile or purely web?
@CalebPanza@thepatwalls@starter_story@MisterMattRoth@postforme_dev Going from $500 MRR to nearly $10k MRR within a year while building in public is honestly a huge proof of how much consistency compounds over time.
Also feels underrated how powerful it is when technical founders actually stay close to the product and users directly.
@StefanRows Congratulations!
It’s the moment where projects stop feeling “theoretical” and start feeling like real products people are willing to pay for.
