This is my loop

I built a SaaS that posts to Instagram + TikTok 24/7

I don't write the captions. I don't pick the music. I don't touch it

The stack that runs it while I sleep:

> PHP 8.3, no framework
> Caddy web server
> SQLite in WAL mode
> Cloudflare R2 for video storage
> Cloudflare Tunnel, no open ports
> Stripe for billing
> OpenAI writes every caption
> ffmpeg muxes the music
> Zernio publishes to IG + TikTok
> Vanilla JS + CSS on the front
> one cron job that loops forever

No Next.js. No Kubernetes. No VC

@SangaTremo @Base44 @DanielDiazLuca1 I don't think but I never see any awards go to people who don't have a US visa or speak broken English 😄

@accidentalcto Paid ads churn always higher because people come with their short attention spans and interest

But consistent real influencer or AI Influencer build trust so these customers LTV is higher

Best B2C marketing in 2026

- Most realistic AI video
- Your App demo

It is a money printer 💵

Today I ran another campaign for my app on Goviraldev

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@ninogjoni Yes Stripe dispute is real issue but B2B is the best solution otherwise, a small amount of subscription is a real pain

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

6 years of shipping mobile apps and I’m slowly moving to the web

Not because of the code. Because of the cut

A $100/mo subscription:
→ App Store: $30 gone
→ Small Business Program: $15
→ Past $1M a year: back to $30
→ Web checkout: ~$3 to Stripe

Same app. Same customer. 10x difference in fees.

Mobile devs, what would you do?

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

You wrote it
Claude fixed two lines
Now it’s marked

> Since Aug 2, Claude’s text carries an invisible watermark

You can’t see it. It survives copy-paste

It’s at the model level
App, API, Claude Code same thing

And it marks what Claude touched. Not what Claude wrote. Proofreading counts

No mark doesn’t mean human either.

So you wrote it, Claude cleaned it up
Whose writing is that?

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@krishnasinghdev agree especially after $1M revenue

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@finnsdesk Yes based on the niche

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@arthuryuzbashew Yeap we must and I'm working on it

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@rasheedpostx New app like my goviraldev .com or any other ideas. I dont want to migrate my women based health mobile apps to web

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@simonecanciello I think it is only related to feeling better without so many limitations. I recorded a video this morning about the same topic.

Even with 6 years of mobile development, I can say web apps are less painful

@marclou No more need cool sh*t I think 2026 require only audience

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@soham_nayak04 I think @coolifyio is the solution but I start migrating my nextjs apps to vanilla PHP + JS apps so it only takes 5-10mb space in my VPS instead of 200-500mb

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@stemonteduro if you count us as a friend then you have friends all over the world😄

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@carlmonkft @ProductHunt @canva Yeah, I’m not that bullish on Product Hunt either.

It makes more sense if you already have a bigger audience but for small accounts like ours, it’s probably unnecessary and 6.8K isn’t enough. I’d say we need at least 30–40K

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@andilosing If it is not related to heavy submission numbers because of the AI then I dont know why they are doing this

They should prioritize old accounts and company submissions

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@DanKulkov You are a real developer dont listen anyone

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@offpaths I had 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD but it is not enough in 2026
Switched to an M4 Max 16-inch 48 GB RAM it feels brand new car

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@jacobrodri_ I know they make money but most of these numbers are not real. Even Marc's TrustMRR has Stripe access but shows estimated numbers

[SoloTech @solotechdev]

@trikcode I dont think they can give the same amount of token access with a lower plan
