web apps > mobile apps
- 2.5% stripe fee (apple takes 30%)
- instant payouts (apple takes 45 days)
- no random bans (apple suspended all of my apps with no warning)
mobile apps allowed me to grow my X (and therefore my web apps), and i’m grateful for that - but i’m never going back
web apps all the way
in late 2024 i moved to thailand with a laptop, a phone and a few clothes
i was a freelance web designer with inconsistent income (sometimes $5k in a month, sometimes $0)
in mid-2025, i started making mobile apps, and it took me 5-6 months to get to $10k/mo with mobile apps (only about $2-3k of that was profit)
in early 2026, i started posting on X, making b2b saas, and my income 4-5x’d (mostly profit)
i had no idea what my journey was going to be - but i always had the stress of being broke motivating me to explore new avenues and push harder
throwing myself in the deep end, moving to thailand, was the best decision i’ve ever made
