with 20$ a month, you can build self-run apps. not there yet personally, but once I've watched all @AlexIsBuilding videos with AI builders, I've started my journey towards that goal. I didn't vibe code much during the summer, thinking it was a bit too expensive (claude & gpt code would often run out of credits at the beginning of the year). but now, I'm consistently back on track with it, and built so many useful stuff for 2a1c and La Sobremesa, with my spare time fully focused on my own apps. Dissecta will definitely be my first released app (I'm still working on it, I need the MVP to be where I want it to be and we are close. Grainwave is my first ever vibe coded visual OS, which I love and defined my branding lately. I love it, but it's scalable only at cost being built on top of Grok Imagine. I'm having fun, I'm building stuff I like and all of this for 20 dollars a month. The moment these start compounding, I'll go for higher plans, but so far so good.

Someone had to do this. I bought my pocket and immediately stopped using it. Also one feature request, if you can get it to sync without going to the app manually (which currently completely kills the experience) that would be massive.

Roman knew his business would make money before he wrote a single line of code. His playbook: 1. Start a service 2. Do it manually 3. Get as many clients as you can until you can't take any more 4. THEN turn it into a product
This guy took his AI startup to $4,000,000 in yearly revenue, And he knew it would succeed before his team wrote a single line of code. So I wanted to know how he did it (and how he grew so quickly). In this episode @romanbuildsaas breaks down: > How he validated gojiberry.ai so that he knew he could get customers > The reddit strategy that took them from $10k MRR to $25k MRR > And whether it's worth getting into @ycombinator. Chapters: 00:26 Validating the product before writing any code 03:05 The Reddit strategy that took them from $10K to $25K MRR 07:56 Growing through X articles and product demos 11:15 Their biggest growth channel: LinkedIn influencers 12:43 Creating lead magnets people actually want 14:04 Cold outreach strategy 15:43 Why people ignore your outreach messages 17:50 Finding and closing bigger customers 19:25 When to hire a sales team 21:16 How Y Combinator changed their ambitions 23:16 How to grow beyond $20K–$40K MRR
