6/6.
6. Gained some SEO and ASO knowledge
7. Learned how to use LLMs effectively
8. Made some stupid decisions like paying a fortune for an Instagram reel which resulted in zero outcome.

It hasn’t been easy I must say… I think I can call it the most busy year of my life 🙂

5/6. Here's a quick list of what I've accomplished so far:

1. Learned some Flutter (I'm a backend developer in "real life", btw 🙂)
2. Built an app for iOS and Android
3. Created a website
4. Integrated the app with Telegram
5. Developed a Google Chrome extension (just released yesterday!)

4/6. Soon I realized that those first downloads were mostly due to the App Store's bump for new apps. Five days later, a long period of near-zero downloads began. So, I started researching ASO, SEO, building a website, and reading you all guys to figure out what to do next.

3/6. 4 months later, I released the app. I still vividly remember monitoring the very first users and watching the first receipts being scanned with the app. It was such a weird feeling, but exciting. Real people actually downloaded and used something I built, can you imagine that?!

2/6. I still have my 9-to-5 job, and I still enjoy it, actually. I really want to reduce my dependency on it though.

It all began with a ChatGPT session. I pasted in a plain, unstructured text from a receipt and asked it to convert it into JSON. I remember being completely blown away by the result.

That’s insane! In a good sense 🙂
Well, long way to go for me… 4 months and still 5 subscribers in my case 😁

Oh no, too late 😅

Nice! Thank you!

Maybe even some other variants?

Yeah, that's the prevailing idea. However, I often hear you need an exact match, or even "we have no idea how it all works" 😀

I only have 28 clicks after 3 months 😅

Wow! They always say you need at least 6 months to get some SEO results! Was it a lie? 😀

They’ll need some money eventually 🙂

Ah, I see. I struggle with the same :)
