Me: Dude, my first app got to rank 1 for a keyword after a few days 🥰
My friend: but its popularity only 5, and in non US country 🧐
Me: 😳😦😮‍💨

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

- It even got to 5th rank in some keywords of other country. This is still new to me as im confused because i got a few downloads but somehow managed to pretty good ranks. Not complain though
- Im working on some new features and web for this app to learn SEO. 🥳

update after 2 days:
- First user has cancelled their trial, but got another trial after that.
- Android was approved after 7 days, no reject. Naisuu!! Also got 1st android user 7h after publish
- Got ranked for several keywords in US

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

Finally published my first iOS app successfully! 🤗
Also got 1 trial today. The best part is that it came from a stranger! I will not give up atp

@_aaronpaul25 @madebycol it seems the truth have been spread, clicked the tweet and im seeing bottom section which add more context to the story

@alexcooldev instead of building 100 apps, bro decides to build 100 TikTok accounts 😭 Both is hard equally imo. Looking forward to hear your sharing more for this approach!

[Expo @expo]

🙌 Expo is the best it's ever been, and it's about to get a lot better.

We raised a Series B so we can go faster on the things that matter to you: faster builds, smoother native integrations, and the services to make end-to-end app development a delightful experience.

There is a lot of work to do. This round led by @Georgian_io puts us in position to go do it!

I have not even published my first app but now successfully joined Small Businee Program. I highly suggest anyone building mobile apps do this as it help cut commission rate from 30% to 15%. I did the same on Play Store, it seems quicker than Apple on this. Still a win to me 🎉

@jogicodes HCMC is really hot recently so be prepared for that 😂

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@TeeDevh Im building mobile app for both ios and android so Mac is an obvious option. Not sure about Linux though

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@TeeDevh is that https://t.co/GI1Z5eg4cM Vu?

@v_serbulenko the hell man 😭 thank you very much, didn't expect it lol. Im working on my first mobile app and always interested in animation so definitely check it out. Thank you again 🎉

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@tonnoz @ProductHunt Thank you for sharing your story, it's inspiring, especially as someone who also left a job at $O MRR.

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@TeeDevh Did you try using a US VPN or a purely Vietnamese TikTok account? I don't think TikTok in our country is a good platform for app marketing.

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@seraleev @TechWithMatteo can I ask what mistake led to your developer account termination? I'm building my first app and am concerned after hearing accounts of terminations.

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@seraleev That’s what i’ve been chasing. Currently im still working on my first Mobile app and hopefully it will become foundation for my journey ☺️

@alexcooldev SKILL

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@TeeDevh @polar_sh Congrats! Besides SEO, do you have any other marketing channel?

[Rhys Le @rhysle]

@alexcooldev The app's cute; I don't understand the hate about how it's similar to existing apps. People seem to expect every new app has to be revolutionary.
