TSMC - PE (in future)
side quest - Indie app developer who talks about semiconductors

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

I got rejected by Taiwanese universities.
No fancy profile
No perfect path.
Just a diploma student from India with gaps caused by COVID and financial struggles.
But somewhere between late nights, open-source contributions, and learning things alone, I became obsessed with semis

@indiemark_ Mark I know you might have already got the answer let me know too when to ask for reviews? During the onboarding or after some time

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@athcanft So first reach 5k MMR and then you can buy a house in Bali

Google outsources merchant verification to BillDesk

- Who ghost devs
-Reject valid docs, and demand bribes (₹25k-4L reported) for "fast" approval. Earnings trapped, apps blocked.
-Google says "not our problem."

I hope I get verified 🤞

@jukan05 Will read them you're the goat

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@yacineMTB Doing things for the sake of doing things will take you ahead for sure

@pcshipp Start marketing for tier 1 countries that's the only way now

Making your first app don't make this mistake like I did

Use posthog free tier like this.

Just focus on these 4 things 👇

- Funnels
Track Open → Sign up → Core action.
1,000 users open but only 200 sign up? Your onboarding is leaking. Fix this first.

- Retention
Check Day 1, 3 and 7. 40% retention with 500 users beats 1% with 10k every single time. This is real PMF

- Session Replays
You get 5k free recordings per month.
Filter for rage clicks or sessions under 30 seconds. Watch exactly where your UI breaks on real Android devices.

- Feature Flags
Use them as a remote kill switch.

New feature crashing the app? Turn it off from the dashboard in seconds. No Play Store review hell.

Do this before you touch A/B testing or fancy pipelines. Get users through the core loop and make them come back. Everything else is noise

@ZainullahKhadim Thanks for the info mate let's see how it goes for me

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

My app is up for Google play close testing.

Now how to complete the 12 days close testing? Any ideas?

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@athcanft Young and broke I am making apps to make a decent living out of it

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@eglitisX Wait what ? You can do that too.

Upload your apps screenshots with your specific niche in the comment add your app name that's it.

Unlimited money glitch

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@ErnestoSOFTWARE Yes it's that easy I'll implement and prove

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@thehiphopswami It comes with a mini map lol

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@Alacritic_Super Chip dev is down 😔

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@pequityresearch Will do some investment research on them during this weekend Btw that's some huge list

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

In an advanced packaging technique called “Chip on Wafer on Substrate” (CoWoS) logic (GPU) and memory (HBM) chiplets sit next to each other on a wafer which is then cut into chips and packaged on a high-density substrate

Why there is no pure semiconductor videos from physics to device?

Not enough educational stuff for electronic & robotics

People need to learn more about silicons

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@athcanft How does newbie indie dev know their app needs paid ads now ? I am confused but the ROI is insane will

Indian students are DIYing a semiconductor fab at IIT Bombay.

In just 10 months they've built:

1. A DLP-based lithography machine.
2. A tube furnace to oxidise silicon.
3. A DC plasma sputter.

Total cost: ₹30 lakh.

Here's a rare behind-the-scenes look at HackerFab IITB.

[Klein Bytes @thefoolplays]

@RuntimeBRT all thanks to the opensource chip movement by
@szeloof Hackerfabs all over the world are built different.
