feeling sorry for @leojrr vibe coders check these before releasing real-world apps - implement auth, JWT will do - sanitize inputs, handle cors - activate ddos protection (if available) - firewall infra + IP filter - secure API keys generation & storage - implement

Advice to first-time founders: - marketing from day 0 - mvp = single killer feature (no more) - bake distribution in-app - subs >> one-time payments - launch in month 1.. ambitious but doable - re-launch weekly - scale: from $1 to $100, $1k, $10k mrr - seo, seo, seo (+track

Huge News!! - Microlaunch.net officially has MRR 🤩 While the primary goal is still growth, monetizing matters at least to have cash to reinvest into marketing/Ads📈 Two Monetization streams - sponsors (weekly/monthly) - premium products for those willing to get more

nobody cares if your app is vibe-coded ship cool shit, make it work, solve pain, get paid. bootstrap your way to $10k+ .. it's closer than you think.

guys that's insane, something's happened😇 just set a new record: 8 sales in 24 hours (in july!) no power move, no viral content, simple tweaks.. in one word: "targeting" we often don't need more, we need better🔥
