Building apps usually means months of zero traction. Breaking that flatline is the hardest part.
> 22 active subscriptions
> Steady growth

This is what really drives me to wake up the next day and make more cool stuff 🚀🤩

Every indie dev shows you the "new subscriber" notification

Nobody shows you the 9 trials that expired the same week

10 trials

9 cancelled

1 paid $5.99

$100 MRR still feels impossible

This dashboard is just a graveyard of people who almost paid

Git is amazing until you accidentally push to main at 2 AM

Every app eventually becomes TikTok
Netflix just added Clips
Started as a DVD company
Now it's another doomscroll feed
Nobody builds for focus anymore
Everyone builds for addiction

3 trials in 3 days

$0 revenue
All expiring soon
None converted yet
People try your app and leave like they were never there

by the way : the shot is generated by my new app currently in review comment your mail id so i'll send you the testing build till then it is reviewed

Building in public is a scam for small devs
You post a sale screenshot, 50 people say "congrats", 0 buy your app
5,000 users on XLSheetAI, still struggling to hit $100 MRR
Share your ASO strategy, 10 clones show up next week
Meanwhile some random guy sells a Notion template for $5K/month

Everyone is hyped about Codex
But I'm stuck at:
"Usage limit reached. Try again in 5 hours"
The best tools always gate the free tier first

Hey devs, which AI coding tool is actually worth paying for?
Cursor
Claude Code
Codex
Windsurf

Got my first payout from Play Store today 💰
₹4,547 credited
6 years of shipping apps
5+ apps built
Most made zero
Online money is slow
Then one day it hits 🫡

Claude hit #1 on the App Store
Reward? 20+ incidents in 2 weeks
Auth down. Opus failing. MCP broken
Nobody tells you success breaks things faster than failure ever did
Scale is just a new kind of pain

Hit $89 MRR last week
Today it dropped to $49

Nobody talks about the months where revenue goes backwards
Still shipping anyway

Shipped 2 apps in 2 days
Both look shitty
Both barely work

But here's what nobody tells you
The dev who ships 30 ugly apps

will always beat
the dev who perfects 1 for 2 years
Perfection is a trap
Revenue is proof

Worst thing as an app builder?
Watching people cancel their trial

You spent 6 months building it
They spent 6 minutes judging it

No feedback. No reason. Just "cancelled"
Stop building for everyone

Build for the one who almost left but stayed

Honest question for indie devs
What kills more apps?

Building too slow
Building the wrong thing
Never telling anyone you built it

I code 4 hours a day after my 9-5
No funding. No co-founder. No audience
Built a spreadsheet AI tool nobody asked for
5,000 people use it now
The "nobody asked for it" part was the whole point

Nobody downloaded my app for 3 months
I kept shipping anyway
30+ apps later, one of them hit 5,000 users
The other 26 taught me more than any course
Ship ugly. Ship often. Stop waiting for perfect

Just published a new app in review, so I'm planning to publish at least one app every two weeks

Two views in Habitide. Grid view shows your habits as a heat map. List view shows them as a checklist.

Both let you snap to complete. Pick the one that matches how your brain works

The Stories feature in Habitide isn't social media. It's accountability. Your circle sees your habit snaps for 24 hours. No likes. No comments.

Just silent peer pressure that actually works

Isn't it awesome to see these many new users on your revenue cat dashboard
Now its only required to convert 5% of them into paid users will be win

I added a life tracker to Habitide. Not steps. Not calories. Just how many days you've been building habits.

Simple number. Brutal honesty. That counter doesn't care about your excuses

Habit apps with checkboxes are lying to you. You check it off without doing it.

You know you do. Habitide asks for a photo. Try faking that at 5 AM

Sure bro

You've been on Reddit for years but have no idea what your karma actually looks like
I built a tool that shows your full karma breakdown in one click — post karma, comment karma, everything
Stop guessing. Just check it
Drop your Reddit username and try it

#redditkarma #reddittools #buildinpublic

Your yearly tracker in Habitide shows 365 dots. Each dot's opacity tells the story.

Dark circles mean you showed up. Faded ones mean you didn't. No numbers needed. Just patterns

"Indians don't pay for apps"
Heard this 100 times. My dashboard says otherwise
Most of my revenue comes from India itself. Real users paying real money
Stop building for audiences you imagine. Build for the ones already around you. They'll surprise you

I shipped 30+ apps. Most had too many features. Habitide has one core idea. Snap a photo to prove your habit. Share it or skip.

Everything else is built around that one action

Heat maps don't lie. Every dot on your Habitide grid shows how many habits you completed that day. Darker dot means more done.

Light dot means you slacked. A whole year of truth in one screen
