@levixhere This green progress bar works soooo well! It grabs attention immediately

@RyanJohn5280 @chrstnpls01 With an average Lithuanian (I see author is Latvian) salary I used to travel around Europe 4-5 times per year. And yeah, I paid for myself. Money management is a skill and not everyone has it

'Approaching weekly limit' banner almost got me, but then I checked and saw I’d only used 26% of it.

Not going to buy more usage today, Claude.

Holy F*CK

Is writing 'Holy F*CK' or 'Holy SH*T' at the beginning of a post a new X trend?

@shravikamhtre And then something made in 15 minutes just blows up

@hthieblot your prayers have been heard

9-5 taught me soft skills.
Side hustles taught me hard skills.

What did yours teach you?

[themindships @themindships]

@RonnyBruknapp Mostly the first one. Most users who finished onboarding got to the main feature and clearly understood what the app delivers, so I felt the value was clear enough to charge upfront instead of letting people drift on a free version.

1.5 months after my app was released, I finally switched to a hard paywall

@dsasnous Launch asap, polish later

What's your tech stack for building an iOS app?

[themindships @themindships]

@ChadAppDev same, super fast

Organic marketing is cheap until you spend 172k ElevenLabs credits on a single 58s video

@JaidevBhogalW How did you find out about the ranking?

[themindships @themindships]

@g_buildz_apps did this yesterday, let's see

@0xMas0n For me, the pressure only came because I told my friends I was building the app. If you don’t tell anyone, it’s easier to launch first and polish later

[themindships @themindships]

@0xMas0n Repeat it to yourself 100 times a day: ‘Launch only the MVP'

Helped a lot

[themindships @themindships]

@jonnyscales good point

@oliverbldr Built my first app privately, and now I’m planning to build the second one publicly (TikToks, Reels, talking to camera). YES, I’m scared 😂
