Currently working on my first micro app, an iOS expense tracker for real-time deductible expenses. Join me on my app-building journey! 🚀

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Launched my app in February.
Zero sales for two months.
Kept building. Kept showing up. Kept wondering if anyone would ever actually pay.

Yesterday, it happened.
$29.99.
My first real customer.
Someone out there found value in what I made, enough to pull out their card and pay.

It’s not about the money (okay, a little bit 😅).
It’s about the validation.
The spark.
The finally, I’m not crazy feeling.

This one sale feels different. It feels like the beginning.
Let’s go. 🚀

Just days after Vijay became Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, social media exploded with viral claims, AI-generated images and exaggerated political narratives around TVK. From fake “historic firsts” to recycled government schemes, in this episode of Focus Tamil Nadu, @dsureshkumar separates facts from fiction in the age of viral politics.

I tried out a few habit trackers and screen time apps. Some interesting features for sure,

but I still felt a gap they didn't quite match the kind of supportive,

Integrated experience I was personally looking for to build better habits.

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

First app: 1 month, 1 user, shipped fast.

Second app: 2 months, 63 commits, no launch.

I love this one too much. Might be ruining it.

Is this product love? or fear? or both?

Asking for a friend (me).

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Built & shipped my first app in 30 days. Got 1 paying user.

Started a new one the next day. This time, I care too much.

It’s been 2 months. 73 commits. No launch. No posts. Just building.

Not sure if it's fear, perfectionism, or love.

Anyone else delay shipping what they love most?

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Realized I was losing so much time just scrolling on my phone.

Felt like I needed a better way to manage my focus and get back those precious hours.

Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

Was going through Apple Ads docs to understand the basics before running campaigns for WriteOff Scanner on a small budget.

An hour later, I’m certified! 😅

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Distractions are the enemy of progress. I’ve cut screen time to double down on what I’m building. One app you’d ditch to reclaim your day? #Goals #DigitalWellnes

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

My phone used to own me—scrolling ate hours I couldn’t spare. Now, I’m ruthless with app limits to protect my goals. What’s your trick to stay focused? #Productivity

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Finally, after two rejections, WriteOff Scanner now has a paywall!

Users get five free scans per month, then a simple in-app subscription.

Built the paywall with @Superwall,
though I relied on @RevenueCat docs for App Store Connect info (Superwall docs need work!).

#buildinpublic #indiehackers

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Currently building the paywall for WriteOff Scanner:

Hard paywall after 5 scans/month (no more freebies), or softer paywall with unlimited basic scanning & premium AI features behind upgrade?

What worked best for your iOS app conversion?

Indie realization:

Spent 2 months building https://t.co/8PbNmRslMV, only to get just 10 installs so far.

Biggest takeaway? Marketing and building need to happen simultaneously.

Talk to your users before finishing your app!

Testing pricing for WriteOff Scanner Premium:
• Monthly: $5.99
• Yearly: $29.99 (7-day free trial)

Is monthly too high, too low, or right in the sweet spot for solo entrepreneurs & freelancers?

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Just launched my indie app, WriteOff Scanner!

Built it after realizing freelancers lose ~$7,500/year from missed deductions.

Currently at 10 installs, humbling reminder that building is easy, marketing is hard!

Excited to learn and grow from here.

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Built my app WriteOff Scanner using Swift & Cursor AI in just 2 months. Tech was easy; growth is the real challenge. Already learned I should've marketed pre-launch (5 installs so far). #buildinpublic #indiehacker

[Senthil Nathan @senthilsnap]

Lesson learned: App Store Optimization (ASO) isn't just optional, it's crucial! 📈

Launched WriteOff Scanner recently and immediately saw why keyword targeting matters. Any indie hackers seeing similar results?

After 3 rejections and countless cups of coffee, my receipt scanning app, WriteOff Scanner, is finally live on the App Store! 🚀

Helping freelancers & solopreneurs track tax deductions effortlessly.
