More from Startups

I shipped all these apps in 2020. Most of them generated $0.

๐ŸŽฌ https://t.co/JAhXqsuu6h $0
๐ŸŒ https://t.co/BrNUAhfiIT $0
๐Ÿ’ก https://t.co/ZWcLfOH4aI $0
๐Ÿž https://t.co/aghOxYEcPI $1.99
๐Ÿ‘ https://t.co/2JhJLe27pW $3,025 in 10 days.

But that's ok, just keep shipping! My stories๐Ÿ‘‡

https://t.co/wuiBp1XsYD is the first thing I created. It's a community for indie makers. The different thing is we post updates in videos. I created it for fun as I think the world doesn't need one more text-based forum, so I make a video one. No monetization plan so far.

๐ŸŒ https://t.co/fiwjgCWho5 is a social app. The idea is from Linktree, an app to share your social links. I thought it would be cool to add more visuals to it, and meanwhile we can explore others around. I also have no monetization plan for it. Make it for fun too.

๐Ÿ’ก https://t.co/fZfL45uvVX is a platform to connect influencers with their fans. People says it's like @superpeer. But the only difference is it's all sync. Influencers don't need to commit their time to fixed slot. Fans pay to ask questions, influencers can answer at anytime.

Continuing Influenswer... I think the product has its potential. But for now maybe I didn't find the right niche to serve. Will re-evaluate it in future.
