You'd think that after sustaining 200 downloads/day for over a month that you'd start ranking higher in the app store but no lol
Apps are no longer a get rich quick scheme and require insane persistence.
Let's see if 1000 does the trick.

That "Other" category is all people who found us through LLMs.
We are about to lift off.

A fascinating project. An LLM trained only on data before 1931.

Absolutely incredible
Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

At an aquarium in South Korea, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is TOBA Aquarium, based in Japan. Not a South Korean aquarium. This is one of their caretakers, is not after closing, and these are not "pups."
An example of the otters:

Penguins get a lot of attention, but chad bird appreciators can see the beauty in pigeons. Cute as hell tbh and they have a nice coo, almost on par with doves.
Comment pidgeon if you agree

Marketing on Reddit makes me want to shoot myself!
But It absolutely works. And, in our experience, we get the highest amount of conversion to paid users from there.
So try to have a laugh when you get brain-dead negative responses.

Very proud of this release!
This has come such a long way from a year ago.
There's still a mountain of work to make our full vision a reality, but our baby is growing up fast. 🥲
Check it out, and let me know your thoughts.
Version 4.5 is out now! This one's a big one 🤯

✨ Finally got access to Seedance 2.0 and nobody asked me to tweet this so now it's just me and my curiosity
What's interesting is how Seedance 2.0 lets you attach any type of media to your prompt
Like a reference photo of each actor, a pic of their clothes, an audio track of music or voice, even an entire video that it should add, and it combines that all with your prompt into a video with great audio built in
And in the prompt you can tell it what to do just like you do with images on Nano Banana Pro "extend this video backward, replace this with that" etc.
It's like a video generation and edit model in one with image, audio and video support
Absolutely amazing and a real breakthrough
PolyChat crossed 2500 users recently 🥳
Here's an update:

Enjoy the gold rush while it lasts!
Getting rich by niching down can only go on so long.
This was feasible for a while but I think bound to run out of gas.
You will increasingly need to go big or go home to make it in the app world.
If you're vibecoding a B2C app, I’m probably more invested in your success than 99.99% of people out there
(@RevenueCat only makes money when you make money)
But time for a little reality check
