“188k views to 219 downloads is the number id focus on tbh. the lesson about finding the right audience is solid but now the real work is figuring out why 99.9% of those people didnt convert. thats where the growth is hiding” ▲ 50

“188k views but 0 mention of overdrive actually, think its mostly ppl visiting my profile afterward. And yeah conversion is another story” ▲ 40

“One thing I'd be curious about is how many of those 188K views translated into app downloads and eventually paying customers. Have you been able to track that?” ▲ 30

quot;, c'est à peu près ce que rapporte une seule app Mac correcte en un mois ... Vous dites sur combien de temps?” ▲ 10

Poster provides a reachable product URL with site meta describing the product; the post claims $12k ARR and commenters engage positively (one notes a CLI integration), with no upvoted accusations of fakery or requests for proof.

Author provides a working product URL, concrete technical details (stack, offline DB size, OSM pipeline), answered skeptical questions in-thread, and reported modest actual revenue (~$1k) after hitting #6 in paid Travel without any top commenters calling it fake or promotional.

“Not near as much as you would expect. I’m number 6 in paid for travel and made around 1k. You have to have other revenue sources or recurring revenue.” ▲ 20

Founder provides a working product URL and concrete numbers ($700 gross in one month, $10 one-time price); community comments engage positively and ask feature questions rather than calling it promotional or fake.

The post includes a reachable product (autoaishorts.com) and specific traction numbers ($354 MRR, 50 subscribers); commenters treat it as genuine and ask operational questions rather than calling it an ad or fake.

A commenter (the founder) gives concrete, specific metrics (VibeLing, ~$237 MRR, 45 paying subs, 3.3k monthly actives), conversion changes, and traffic sources—details that make the product and revenue plausible and not promotional.

“I changed onboarding and the paywall in the same stretch, trial conversion went from about 2.5% to 5%, so I can't credit that one button for all of it.” ▲ -10

“Some dropped off right there, sure, but trial starts went up overall. Honest caveat: ... Refunds I didn't track closely enough to say, and most trials don't convert either way.” ▲ -5

The post describes a plausible simple product and a modest, specific first-month revenue ($210) with no commenters accusing it of being promotional or fabricated; the lone comment corroborates the approach and discusses realistic scaling issues.

Founder provides concrete usage and revenue metrics, a screenshot link to payment dashboard, cost per LLM call, and commenters corroborate behavior patterns (bans due to account spikes) rather than calling the post fake or promotional.

“Those bans were never about the posts. Seven fresh accounts pushing the same bot from the same setup, then no eighth account at all, that's the account graph getting flagged, not your content.” ▲ 10

“leave the ban loop. seven accounts from the same phone/laptop/wifi repeating similar promotion will look like coordinated spam even if each individual post felt harmless.” ▲ 12

“1.6% with two thirds of them in Taiwan makes me want to look at the checkout before anything in the funnel. We had a gap that shape in India until UPI went on the page, cards on their own were doing about a third of what they should have.” ▲ 8

Author provides specific product details, realistic timeline (3 months for SEO), concrete metric ($52/month, 3 customers), and commenters largely accept it as genuine rather than calling it self-promo.

“What is the site show analytics?” ▲ 10

“love it. real money. but isn't it something i can ask claude to do? take this data and build an animated chart from it?” ▲ 8

“Took about 3 months before that one page started getting real clicks. ... Almost no backlinks.” ▲ 5

Author reports a small, plausible first paid annual license and answers follow-up questions about pricing and product modules (comments confirm 16 modules and $35/month initial quote plus $40 extra), with no upvoted accusations of self-promotion or fakery.

“460 is such a weird number for an annual license. did they haggle you down 40 bucks or is that a currency conversion thing” ▲ 3

“$460 reads like a monthly price that got annualized with a discount baked in, thats pretty normal for smaller B2B deals” ▲ 2

Author reports verifiable metrics (screenshot figures, user counts) and a commenter shared the product URL; community responses treat this as a small but real early traction signal rather than an obvious ad.

“Four paying customers at $5 each is not a business, but it's not nothing either.” ▲ 15

“If they're all from your Reddit posts, you haven't proven distribution yet - you've proven friends of the internet are nice.” ▲ 20

Post names a specific product (PreviewKit) and reports an actual $12 paying customer; community comments largely congratulate and ask follow-ups rather than call it promotional or fake.

Author reports a concrete single paid customer, a specific price (€10/month), and that the service was put online (domain + VPS); top comments treat it as a genuine early traction story rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“the reddit URL removal is probably not a reddit problem, its karma. accounts under a few hundred comment karma get auto filtered the moment a link shows up” ▲ 5

“but my account is since 8 years ago .. no so active yes .. but no so silence too.. it's just a simple job seeker board” ▲ 3

Author reports an actual Play Store listing and a first paying user tracked via Play Store and RevenueCat; multiple commenters independently assume Play Store discovery rather than calling it self-promo.

The founder linked a real product URL with site metadata and reports a single $4.99 sale; community responses are congratulatory and only cautiously skeptical (fees math and asking if they self-purchased) rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“$4.99 gross, so after Stripe's 30 cents plus 2.9% you cleared about $4.55. Fine, but it's sale number two that tells you whether the launch worked or a friend felt sorry for you.” ▲ 8

“Is the $4.99 gross volume actually one sale, or did you buy it yourself to check the checkout flow? Most people do, and stripe dashboards don't tell you apart.” ▲ 10

The founder reports a real first sale and shared product details; top comments congratulate the launch and treat the app as genuine with no accusations of self-promo or fabrication.

Founder reports a real paying user and provides a reachable Play Store URL; community comments accept and ask follow-ups rather than calling it promo.

Multiple comments (including the founder) describe a verifiable payment checked via Paddle and an immediate follow-up where the founder shipped the missing feature after a paid user complained, indicating a real product and actual money exchanged.

“First customer and this is not the first time it was asked? I think you’re misleading your customer and if I was them and I saw this post I would no longer be a customer.” ▲ 25

“I would 100% refund though if he just typed “refund” and no word. Thanks for the wishes” ▲ 10

Multiple commenters reference the recent $200M round led by Sequoia with Shopify Ventures and discuss Whop's shift into payments and payouts, treating it as an existing company expanding product lines rather than self-promo or a fabricated claim.

“$5.1B is definitely aggressive, but $200M from Sequoia with Shopify joining isnt exactly people betting on Whop staying a course/community platform.” ▲ 20

“I usually know at least someone who uses every major platform. Don't know a single person who uses this. Pretty wild” ▲ 15

“$5.1B still looks steep unless the ...” ▲ 12

The founder provides specific, verifiable operational details (560 kids with only 3 unsigned waivers, 3,600 tickets sold, 12 paying orgs, two silent auctions) and commenters ask practical questions rather than calling it self-promo or fake.

“the waiver thing is the part i never would have guessed... curious how you price it though, flat monthly or a small cut per ticket? feels like the whole pitch to those benefit dinners and nonprofits is "we don't take a slice of every ticket," so i'd guess flat, but idk.” ▲ 20

“Can you breakdown how much you’ve made out of that 100k? Who’s paying it and how’d you convince them to use your platform by paying for it since im understanding you don’t add a fees to the buyers side” ▲ 25

“So you made $3000?” ▲ 10

Author gives concrete, plausible operational details (frequency of disputes, exact refund/fee amounts, specific anti-fraud rules applied) and commenters treat it as an operational lesson rather than calling it fake or promotional.

“you ran radar on default settings and then blamed radar. the defaults are off for a reason.” ▲ 10

“if the default setup lets obvious $9 card testing through, most founders aren’t going to magically know which rules they need until they get burned.” ▲ 8

The post describes a launched, purchasable mac app with a real URL and payment setup (Paddle); multiple commenters report trying and liking it, and one said they purchased it, supporting authenticity.

“You pasted the icicles and snowman paragraph twice, word for word. Nice snow though.” ▲ 1

“Small thing, but the body and the screenshot don't agree: you say a nudge forms icicles under the window, while the image says moving a window makes its icicles snap off.” ▲ 1

Multiple commenters corroborate the exact behavioral research lesson (watch users, watch manual copy-outs) and treat the post as an authentic post-mortem of a real client project rather than self-promotion or fabricated numbers.

“Thanks ChatGPT!” ▲ 5

“Do you work for yourself or are you employed?” ▲ 3

Author links to a real Google Play listing and reports an actual paid order; community responses are congratulatory with no allegations of self-promotion or fabrication.

The founder shares a working landing page and demo, multiple commenters acknowledge the launch and discount code, and the post claims 15 paying users with an accessible product URL (no major challenges or accusations of fakery in upvoted comments).

The product is live in-browser and on iOS (author provided playable URL and App Store redeem link) and commenters recognized it (notably featured on the ThreeJS homepage), indicating a real project rather than self-promo or fabricated claims.

The founder provided a direct App Store link and multiple supportive commenters treated it as a real, launched app rather than a promo; no commenters accused it of being a sham or demanded unverifiable revenue claims.

“That's not compound interest, that's a 7.5% weekly subsidy from dad. $20 at a real 7% a year is $1.40 after twelve months. Kids remember what they see, and what they'd see is money doubling every 10 weeks, then a bad surprise at 18.” ▲ 30

“You programmed in massive financial crashes where they lose 50% of their money?” ▲ 8

The post links to a working site and public GitHub repo, describes concrete product details (22 citizens, $3 visitor tier, BYO-key), and community comments treat it as a genuine launched project rather than obvious self-promo or fabricated claims.

“on mobile I would try to make the map fill the full screen... the characters are just standing around most of the time? You asked for feedback about the digest and said it doesn't need an account, but when I go to the digest I only see a message to Sign-In.” ▲ 12

“Glitched on mobile, can’t create a person if you’re viewing in Portrait since the name field is obscured.” ▲ 10

“tested, got email to login from supabase but not going anywhere” ▲ 9

Post includes a live Chrome Web Store listing and the top comment links to a demo and website, and the author reports a first paying customer with no community pushback.

The post includes a direct App Store link, specific user/download numbers (1,000 downloads) and a small concrete revenue claim ($100), and commenters engage with genuine questions about marketing and retention rather than calling it self-promo.

“I’m curious how much of those 1,000 downloads ended up coming” ▲ 5

“Now the real test starts - what's your churn looking like and are they actually opening the app after day one?” ▲ 8

Author provides a working product URL, concrete usage metrics (100 visitors/day, dozens of families actively logging), description of stack and scaling behaviour, and multiple commenters corroborate the accidental traction and privacy-first approach.

“one thing to keep in mind, the Philippines market might have very different willingness to pay than a US or EU audience. if costs do grow you might want to figure out who your power users actually are geographically before picking a monetization model.” ▲ 20

“Built nearly the same thing ... the market is somewhat saturated.” ▲ 18

The postlinks a real product URL, describes concrete implementation details (Firebase, Firestore, Stripe, worker for billing), and multiple commenters discuss real technical/UX issues (invitations, anonymous vs signed-in state, Stripe fees), supporting that this is a genuine launched MicroSaaS rather than self-promo or fabricated numbers.

“I don’t have a trustworthy number yet—the traffic is still small, and I didn’t have the landing page → signup → first task funnel tracked properly from day one.” ▲ 20

“At 99 cents the fixed part of the card fee eats about a third of it. 30 cents a charge plus the percentage leaves you around 66...” ▲ 10

Multiple comments report concrete metrics ("over $2B in annualized revenue, positive cash flow and more than 85k business customers") and link to a CNBC interview, and the discussion treats Ramp as an existing, revenue-generating company rather than self-promo or fabricated claims.

“At $60B that's about 30x annualized revenue which is a high multiple” ▲ 70

“True but $60B is still massive. I'm interested on how much of the growth comes from software vs card transactions since the margins and economics are different” ▲ 60

The post reports concrete, specific traction ($50k in one month), describes team structure and operational details, and commenters respond with practical advice rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“Where’s your site?” ▲ 8

The post reports concrete monthly revenue (47K last month, ~40K MRR), margin figures, and operational details; commenters treated it as a genuine, working business rather than calling it self-promo or fake.

“Man this reads like one of those AI shorts on YouTube.” ▲ 2

The post claims an explicit annual profit range and describes an operating business with a team and measurable client success; commenters treat it as a real business and offer operational advice rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“"'success rates are pretty much identical' is doing a lot of work there. Same sample size, same intake, measured how?"” ▲ 20

“"so the business is you. 400k a year to never sleep. and now a sister company to be the second you"” ▲ 15

“"5a to 10p and the next move is a second company. That schedule is already the sister company's whole problem."” ▲ 10

The post describes a specific product (a Squarespace drag-and-drop customization tool) and states $400K ARR with operational details (solo founder + four part-time freelancers); top comments do not accuse fabrication or self-promotion and offer discussion about Squarespace's relevance rather than debunking the claim.

“why would someone choose squarespace today when any AI model can build a better, faster and cleaner site?” ▲ 5

“Agreed - there are so many good options nowadays... I've got an old client's website still on SquareSpace because they don't want to switch, but for everyone else I have them on Railway (Next or TanStack, with case by case extras) with Claude doing the heavy lifting” ▲ 5

Post gives concrete app details (name, 4.8 stars, 8K+ downloads), stack (RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry), and a public X post as source; top comments do not allege fraud or self-promo and instead endorse the approach, so the claim is plausible though not independently verified.

Poster reports an explicit, specific traction metric (23k € MRR in six months), describes acquisition channels (Meta ads + demo calls), team size (two people), and commenters engage with detailed, skeptical but constructive questions rather than accusing fabrication.

“"your 80-85% close rate is the number id look at hardest, and not as good news. at that rate the demo isnt selling, its confirming."” ▲ 8

“"How did you get to 23k? Oh share with your magic Guruji"” ▲ 5

“"Kinda wanna keep it private but its related to sales"” ▲ 4

The post reads like a concrete case study with specific operational changes (Airtable pipeline, 2-hour reply, day 1/3/7/14 follow-ups, product repositioning) and multiple commenters praise and ask practical questions rather than calling it a promo or calling the numbers fake; the author also engaged (DM to a hiring inquiry).

“Just need to confirm quote volume and how profit was calculated. Files, images, and data analysis are unavailable until usage resets in 3” ▲ 12

“Are you for hire?” ▲ 8

The founder provides specific pricing, entity type, and multiple concrete revenue metrics (total gross, recent weekly revenue, and imminent $20k MRR) and commenters engage with operational and tax advice rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“Are you operating as an LLC or a C/S Corp? If an LLC you might want to consider switching entities as LLC's are pass thru tax wise.” ▲ 10

“It's currently an LLC. It's a sole proprietorship LLC” ▲ 8

“That estimate includes platform fees, payout fees, advertising and operating costs, although I’m still reconciling a few expenses.” ▲ 12

Author claims a concrete revenue figure ($200K ARR), describes a specific, plausible product and process, and responds to comment questions with concrete timelines (e.g., 20–50+ calls) — no commenters accuse it of being an ad or fake.

“I'd be careful using social activity to filter SaaS buyers. Someone with an urgent problem and budget might barely post.” ▲ 20

“Which Skool group(s) did you get the most leverage from?” ▲ 15

“we built a tool that helps us filter prospects before they get to that stage. we look at their social activity... alongside questions that help qualify them.” ▲ 10

Multiple commenters treat the post as a genuine founder story with concrete details (monthly revenue, curriculum, tax debt) and offer practical scaling advice rather than calling it self-promo or fake.

“The retention drop when you delegate is the real issue here, not the hours. You've basically got a personality-driven business and that's hard to scale no matter what systems you build. Students are buying you, not the curriculum. That said, $25k in tax debt changes everything. I'd take the job, keep maybe 5-10 of your best evening students as a side thing...” ▲ 85

“Retention drops because students buy you, not your curriculum. A freelancer is a stranger they have to trust with your brand. Fix this with onboarding, a feedback loop, and a quality standard that makes the freelancer an extension of you, not a replacement.” ▲ 75

“I don't have precise data, so I can't conclusively blame the teachers. Maybe students prefer me personally, maybe I hired the wrong people, or maybe my systems aren't good enough.” ▲ 60

The founder gives specific monthly revenue figures and describes concrete channels (button cross‑traffic, social posts, Reddit DMing, affiliates with an API); commenters echo the revenue figures and ask operational follow-ups rather than calling it a scam, though someone requested a TrustMRR link to verify.

“How am I going to check trustmrr if you do not provide a link” ▲ 70

“I really like that it's one esim you reuse... But holy cow it's overpriced as hell. E.g. your 50GB China ESim, I can get for 21 Euros instead of 116 Euros.” ▲ 40

The post describes an actual paying customer with concrete usage metrics and multiple commenters treat it as a genuine early-traction story rather than calling it self-promotion or fake; no upvoted accusations of fabrication.

“Whats the tool ?” ▲ 5

Post contains concrete, consistent details (232 customers, 13k registered users, Paddle payouts timeline, first customer date) and the author answered payment and product questions in comments, and no upvoted comments accused it of being fake or clearly promotional.

“How is it different from X premium!?” ▲ 40

“Already got paid? From paddle or they hold” ▲ 35

Author reports concrete revenue ($58k over 18 months), describes specific work (set up and maintain systems for small businesses), and commenters did not produce evidence that the numbers are fabricated or call it a paid promotion — only mild stylistic skepticism about tone/AI.

“Here's the part I keep thinking about: this post is AI slop.” ▲ 5

“AI slop” ▲ 5

“honestly referral-only isn't a strategy, it's a ceiling with good PR. it works until you want to grow past what your existing network can carry...” ▲ 12

The author claims ~30k ARR and provides a product URL in the thread (https://ferryman.io/); commenters engage with practical questions about SEO and marketing rather than calling it an ad or calling the numbers fake.

OP provides granular metrics (installs by platform from RevenueCat, ratings counts, subscription counts, itemized expenses including ad spend and cloud bills), commenters engage constructively (no high-upvote accusation of fakery or self-promotion) and some validate the numbers as plausible while offering optimization suggestions.

“Google Cloud: ~€3,900, mostly Gemini / Vertex AI Cursor + Claude Code: ~€3,000 These look way too high, why not use cost effective models like gpt-6-luna or glm-5.3-flash? Are you paying API prices for Cursor/Claude Code?” ▲ 30

“Yeah I was gonna say it seems that you're paying API pricing. For the same price you can get over a dozen Claude 20x subscriptions.” ▲ 20

“Out of interest, how experienced are you with Google Ads and what’s your CPA? ... my current CPA (trial started) ist around 30€” ▲ 15

Poster reports concrete, specific customers and pricing and commenters largely accept it as a plausible, attention/consistency-based service rather than self-promo; no upvoted accusations of fakery or requests for proof.

“could easily do themselves" is doing a lot of work there. they could, in theory, but they won't, because it's never urgent enough to beat their actual job.” ▲ 10

“I got the pricing wrong early coz quoting setup fees doesn’t work whereas doing the first few flows for free... ” ▲ 8

The founder reports concrete short-term traction (50+ users, 14 paid clients, ~ $2k) and answered distribution questions (LinkedIn); commenters critique causation but do not allege fabrication or self-promotion.

“Careful with the conclusion you are drawing. The thing you actually tested was a launch against evergreen posting...so of course they did not convert like this.” ▲ 1

“Hmmm that make sense too! I just tried 2 more videos and not working as well as the first one” ▲ 1

The post includes specific launch metrics (29 sales, 3.9k visitors, $158) and a working product URL; top comments treat it as a genuine indie launch and ask operational questions rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“98% of visitors (yeah, my post blew up 😅) ... 98% from one platform is wild but also kinda scary. you're one algorithm tweak away from zero traffic.” ▲ 20

“Still on a vercel.app subdomain. Yes, people noticed. Buying the domain this week.” ▲ 15

Founder reports specific metrics (visitors, clicks, conversion, tech stack, distribution via Threads) and community comments ask operational questions rather than accusing fabrication, supporting that this is a genuine small paid product.

“88% of them were on a phone, and most of those were inside Threads' in-app browser. You can't install a Mac app from a phone, which explains a lot of the next line” ▲ 20

“This isn’t SaaS..? Do you not have an Apple Developer account?” ▲ 15

The author claims $646.99 revenue in two weeks and commenters include at least one buyer who confirms purchasing and describes receiving a ZIP and MD file, supporting that a real product was sold; there are accusations of self-promo but no decisive evidence of fabrication.

“This is an ad. He is selling a service” ▲ 40

“I bought it because, at that price, why not? I wasn’t expecting a ZIP file and an MD file. I should’ve read/researched more but the super-low “don’t leave” price was too good to pass up.” ▲ 80

Author claims 43 paying users and $1,247 MRR with specific product details (ClimbX.so) and commenters engage as if the product exists and is used; no upvoted comments provide concrete evidence of fabrication or call it self-promo.

“This post has been reported to the moderators for review because it mentions MRR . If you’re making an MRR/revenue claim, include proof.” ▲ 120

“stop falling for spam” ▲ 20

“What does the X API cost you at 43 users, and does it scale the wrong way? Eight scheduled posts a day plus reading engagement on all of them sounds like the kind of dependency that ends up setting your pricing for you.” ▲ 40

Author shared a revenue screenshot and a project link in comments; multiple commenters corroborated purchases and the founder explained acquisition (social media, tutorials), with no upvoted accusations of fakery or self-promotion.

Author provided a working product URL and site meta (Send Bloom), a concrete first-month revenue figure ($1,186), a YouTube explainer linked in comments, and the community engaged with questions rather than accusing it of self-promotion.

“Why do people pay for that” ▲ 20

“How did you promote it” ▲ 40

“Is is $5 for one delivery?” ▲ 25

The founder reports specific, verifiable traction metrics (Stripe MRR, ad spend, UGC spend, change in MRR after a local award) and describes concrete customer and marketing experiments; top comments are supportive and do not call it promotional or fake.

“We spent almost €3,000 on UGC... The campaign generated roughly 500,000 organic views. The result? One paying customer.” ▲ 60

“We just crossed $1K MRR on Stripe. It took us 7 months, a pivot, multiple redesigns, thousands of euros in failed marketing experiments...” ▲ 80

Multiple commenters corroborate similar experiences with Paddle blocking accounts and withholding funds, and the original poster reports concrete details (blocked portal, $1000 in sales, migrated clients), making the claim plausible and unchallenged as self-promo.

“This week alone this is the 2nd nightmare post I real about Paddle shutting down people without proper warning/communication.” ▲ 80

“They’ll approve, take your money, then ban and keep your money.” ▲ 75

“same happened to me, cannot stop telling people to avoid paddle at any and all costs.” ▲ 75

The post gives concrete Stripe/Yolfi revenue breakdown and user count, and the community largely treats it as a genuine small-side SaaS success; only a few commenters question whether the sums constitute true MRR or call it promotional but no decisive evidence of fabrication or self-promo is present.

“The screenshot shows $808 in revenue for that period, while the additional $103 brings the reported total to about $911. Whether that is MRR depends on whether it represents active rec” ▲ 20

“sounds like an ad for your new product” ▲ 10

The OP reports paying $900/mo for Zen Planner across 2 locations (a direct, specific claim of existing spend) and multiple commenters discuss concrete operational pain points and alternative platforms (bring-your-own-processor, Pike13, Mindbody, Glofox, doable.net), indicating the post is a genuine request from a real operator rather than clear self-promo.

“What platform did he switch to? Yeah the platform name is the missing piece here, without it the whole story is just "trust me it's cheaper" with no way to verify” ▲ 4

“We can have a conversation about it. I am a freelancer and build softwares... Im based out of india and can help you scale it better as per your custom requirements.” ▲ 3

“Holy cow, 900$/month? I'll build you your own, branded, software 100% tailored to your needs with 6 months of support if you pay me that *once*.” ▲ 2

“I stand corrected. Good for you. You claim it was making a little revenue. Was it?” ▲ 50

The post reports an existing product with paying users and ~600 MRR and the community treats it as a genuine founder problem (no accusations of self-promotion or fabricated numbers); multiple commenters give tactical, experience-based advice referencing concrete user research and analytics.

Multiple commenters treat the post as a real founder update (congratulating on a paying client, testimonial and referrals), and the OP explicitly states they have a paying client at $500/mo; no upvoted comments call it an ad or fake.

“"$500 barely covers service costs, and assuming he'll want unlimited calling (which he likely will) then I'll probably still be in the red."” ▲ 15

“"If one client at $500 puts you in the red and they might want unlimited calling, your problem isnt momentum its pricing."” ▲ 10

The founder states they already have paying customers and that a new customer signed up for the $399/mo top plan; commenters engage positively and the founder replies with details (engineer background, scheduled call with the customer), with no upvoted accusations of self-promo or fabrication.

“What does pain point is your solution resolving?” ▲ 10

“Hard to gauge on a single user, but for the first group... Find out what point point(s) drove them to find you, and see how you're currently speaking to that need.” ▲ 8

“at 200 a month one customer, ads will eat you alive before you know which keyword converts. i'd go find 20 more of that exact customer by hand first, where do they already hang out.” ▲ 5

The founder shares concrete usage and revenue numbers (219 downloads, $192 in 28 days, $29.99 purchases) and commenters treat it as a genuine indie app with questions about attribution and conversion rather than calling it promotional or fake.

“188k views to 219 downloads is the number id focus on tbh. the lesson about finding the right audience is solid but now the real work is figuring out why 99.9% of those people didnt convert. thats where the growth is hiding” ▲ 50
