A broke PhD student turned indie developer building software like a madman
shotglass.app (new) howtoconvert.co ($5k/mo) pictiler.com ($57/mo) +3 RIP
- My little site made $4,096 USD in June And every project I’ve made before that? $0 Keep building and one day you’ll make something people need enough to pay for it!
- Oh yeah, I’m a solo dev in the 800 paying users club! Next stop 1000!
- I made howtoconvert.co It’s a universal file converter that performs conversions locally on your device.
00:00 - Thought I’d try a post like @jackfriks and @marclou: I made $5,886 in April $5,886 from How to Convert $0 from my last failed project 🙈 $0 from the project before that 🤷♂️ Don’t give up. That next project could be the one that changes everything
- Replying to @bryan_johnson and @karunkaushik_Yeah, it’s not something to be proud of. Overworking people at the cost of their health for your company is pretty gross
- My startup journey: 1. Spent 2 years learning to code by building a Flappy Bird clone, thinking I'd get rich 🤑 2. Released free with in-app purchases, profit: -$182 (thx Apple dev fee) 3. Got sad, but friends played it nonstop. It felt amazing seeing real people love
- I made an app that can now batch convert any file to any other file locally
00:00 - Replying to @IndictmentTimeBrave of those other teachers to report and film evidence
- I made an app that can convert almost any file to any other file locally howtoconvert.co
00:00 - Replying to @DoctorKarlI'm convinced most of these accounts are just bots. Well... I hope so. Because it's crazy to think how uneducated people have to be to say something like that
- Had my first post get seen on BuildInPublic by more than 70 people (3k currently). Now theres non stop visitors to my site and all my posts are getting liked Thank you for the support, everyone! It means a lot as a solo builderI'm a solo builder that just crossed 750 paying users!
- My side project just crossed $20k And every project before that? $0 Keep building those side projects One day you’ll get one people actually want
