If you’re in Barcelona and you build your own apps/SaaS/etc there’s now a 🇪🇸 Hackalona (the 5th new Hacka* chapter started this year!)
Come and join us for casual coworking and demos every Thursday
Anybody building for Android here?
I'm submitting my first app to Google Play and they require the app to be tested by other users
I’m looking for mutual testing exchange: I will gladly test your app on my devices for 14 days while you test mine
What we will need to do:
1. Download the app on a real Android device.
2. Keep it installed for at least 14 days.
3. Open the app occasionally and maybe leave a quick private feedback/bug report in Google Play (Google requires some user activity and feedback before granting production access)
If you are interested, please drop a comment below or DM me directly
Do you want to post to multiple social media platforms with just 1 click?
Because that's what I wanted. I went to check apps that can help me and they all have these limits and subscriptions I don't want to deal with
So I decided to make my own free app. Very simple - just posting without limits.
The post you are looking at right now is made from this app. And when the platforms finish their review processes I will publish the link here
Today was the 5th meeting of hackalona - coworking for indie makers in Barcelona
We are meeting every Thursday and if you are building your own SaaS/App/Extension/Startup in software - you are welcome to apply!
We are indie makers who build their own SaaS products
Every Thursday we meet in our coworking space to share our progress and spend time with like minded people
If you're from Barcelona - apply to join us at Hackalona and be the part of our global network
I'm planning to make it free for you
I've seen many apps for publishing to multiple social media platforms at once
And they all seem overpriced to me. Most social media platforms don't charge anything for their API
Here's the beta plans for the social media publishing app I'm building. I'm going to launch it for free so nobody has to pay $20/m for just publishing and scheduling
TranslateScan weekly update №6
We are still operating in small number. But anyways
Spent on Google Ads: 36.6 usd
API costs: 8.1 usd
Revenue: 40.5 usd
Profit: -4.2 usd
ROI: -9% (including API costs)
In the last 5 weeks ROI went
-94% -> -79% -> -76% -> +34% -> +73% -> -9%
We are working hard on the mobile version of the app. Let's see if mobile is a better platform for profit
TranslateScan weekly update №5
The first week of summer brought a tiny profit again!
Spent on Google Ads: 9.4 usd
API costs: 4.2 usd
Revenue: 23.5 usd
Profit: 9 usd
ROI: 73% (including API costs)
In the last 5 weeks ROI went
-94% -> -79% -> -76% -> +34% -> +73%
The distribution stays the №1 challenge. Google ads is so aggressively optimized that it has difficulties finding the clicks we need. With the budget of 100 eur / day it spends 5 eur at most.
So this week we continue working on SEO and mobile apps.
Hopefully, soon we will launch on both app store and google play.
Telegram is rapidly implementing new features for AI agents
Now chat bots can send you rich formatted messages
They are so far ahead of other messaging platforms in terms of what you can do there
As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.
