I failed for years: ~14 projects.
And then I tried B2C iOS apps.
I'll hit $10k/m in a few weeks.
I think it's the easiest way to win.
Because the "moat" is the easiest to build.
These are the moats I see:
1. The moat of complexity.
Think Postiz or Revolut. APIs that take weeks to get approved. Or complex industries, like banking need capital or regulatory approval.
You simply can't vibe code these in a weekend. Complex B2B products will survive, because there's too much effort involved in making it.
Can be very hard difficulty I think. You have to put in the grind on the product. And there's still an element of luck involved: for example, there's a lot of PostBridge clones that went nowhere. I tried this and failed!
2. The moat of personality.
Big developers will always be able to sell by virtue of their following. This is true in any domain. Verified MRR existed before Marc, but no one trusted an anon dev with their stripe. It's a really good idea, but it succeeded in part because Marc is so trusted.
This is a very tricky moat to build, as it relies on growing a following. I believe there are clear patterns for social medi growth, but that's a post for another day.
3. The moat of a network.
Think NomadTable or IG. People use these apps because of their network. Anyone can vibe code them in a day. But people still use the app because of their huge network.
This is potentially the hardest moat. Involving either a lot of luck, massive amount of work or a big network from previous experience.
4. The moat of mass distribution (B2C).
Most mobile apps are very technically incredibly simple. The effort instead is 90% marketing. If you have a tiny bit of taste it's easy to stand out massively.
Here, we're not selling to businesses. We're selling to the masses, the normies who doesn't even use ChatGPT!
In my view this is the easiest moat, because it's the one with the least amount of luck involved.
Marketing is not yet a science, but there are a lot of proven patterns for success: AI UGC, paid tikslop/apple ads.
This is just my anecdotal experience! n=1.
I may have gotten lucky: I'm building a new app to do it all again, so we will see if it's a science.

pandangan kalian buat crypto project di tahun 2026 ini gimana ges, project mana lagi yg harus ku percaya? 🥀💀
btw, thanks for the list @0xvietnguyen 🤝
yesterday i put claude code on a VPS and then locked it down like rob here so i could code from my phone securely on some of my projects
i was so damn excited about it, finally i could not bring my laptop with me everywhere
but so far its been awful and not fun. cant copy paste things from a terminal on phone. images dont paste. the lines im reading keep shifting as new info comes on screen. i have to be a caveman and ls/cd in ubuntu from a phone
so now i will come up with my own solution instead or ill rig up some always on device to claude remote control and see if i can finally draft support tickets and resolve from my phone or ipad later today without it taking 10x longer than normal from my pc
the lesson here for me is that my initial thoughts were right, coding on a phone is not very fun! but i think it would be solved if i can use claude app on all places and have it synced, that would be the ideal. and all of it is synced based on ONE core device (my docked mac)
Hetzner VPS purchased (€8/month) ✅
Tailscale + firewall secured ✅
Termius SSH'd ✅
Claude Code installed ✅
Logged in on phone ✅
I can now cook from the toilet 🚽
LET'S GOOOOO
