I don’t build for the exit.
i don’t wake up thinking about revenue charts or who might acquire me.
i care way more about opening the app and seeing real people actually using something i made.
laughing with it. wasting time on it. coming back because they enjoy it.
of course revenue matters. it keeps the product alive.
and if this thing ever becomes big?
i’m NOT selling it.
If someone installs your app, uses it once and never thinks about it again…
you didn’t gain a user.
you borrowed 3 minutes of their attention.
what makes you reopen an app without a notification?
Quitting your job shouldn’t be proof that you believe in yourself.
Your project should earn the right to become your full-time job.
That’s how I see it.
@durov had my own app removed from Google Play this week. tiny compared to Telegram obviously 😂
but it teaches you fast you can build the whole product and still not control every aspect of it
Yesterday my app disappeared from Google Play.
weird feeling watching months of work become unavailable overnight.
Anyways fixed what needed fixing and appeal submitted.
back to building.
@GooglePlay 🤝 don’t leave me outside too long 😂
