Not gonna lie, I only get time to hit the gym at 10 PM. 🥴
I made $53K in October 2026
📱 5 B2C mobile apps — $42K
📢 Marketing services (include X payout) — $11K
And ~80% profit margins. (-15% for Apple and Play Store 🥲)
Reach ~50M+ views across TikTok, Lemon8, X, IG, Threads, and other platforms.
All powered mostly by organic marketing.
Still solo. Still finding time to hit the gym every day. 💪

I added a new revenue stream with MailCheap.AI, and PoopUp is back.
That’s 16 revenue streams with 0 employees, 90% profit margins, and time for the gym every day.
A new personal record, I think 🤗

But honestly, if I were in that position, I’d also choose a SaaS built by someone with a strong presence on X, unless there were no other alternatives.
When founders have a personal brand, they’re more likely to provide better support. You can simply tag them on X instead of waiting forever for a response from some faceless company where you don’t even know who’s behind it 🫠

It's true that vibe coding can build a profitable SaaS.
But the guy who built it, Marc, has 419K followers on X alone, not even counting his audience on other platforms.
And let's be real, most of you guys don't have that kind of audience. (me too) 😌

This is the post where I talked about it: x.com/alexcooldev/st…
Many thank @realMikeChong and @GatsbySaif , helped me find a very critical bug that caused me to lose revenue for the past day.
At first, I thought none of my videos were going viral. But the strangest part is that Apple’s review team still approved my app even though the app
This happened after I upgraded from Expo v51 to Expo v55.
My biggest mistake was not testing the new App Store build after release because I assumed that if Apple approved it, the app was working correctly.

I ran into this a few months ago when one of my apps had a really weird bug that only appeared after the app was released to the App Store and TestFlight.
To be fair, it was entirely my fault for not testing thoroughly enough.
But here's the crazy part: Apple's reviewers approved the new release without seemingly testing much at all. The app couldn't even launch, yet it still got approved.
So if you're building apps for the App Store, don't put too much trust in Apple's review team.
They might approve your app today and terminate your account sometime down the road.
Always try to follow Apple's guidelines and regularly test your app to catch bugs and prevent frequent crashes.

If you have an Apple developer account or an app in the App Store, read this now and share it.
Apple rejects your app. The notice is vague, so you fix what you reasonably think is wrong and resubmit.
Apple approves it.
Months later, with nothing in review, Apple terminates your account under 3.2(f) for “a pattern of manipulative or misleading behavior.” Every app gone. No explanation of what you did.
Your crime? Trusting the approval.
Apple’s own reviewer looked at your fix, with your rejection history in front of them, and said yes. Then Apple turned that yes into evidence against you.
So who’s misleading whom?
I ran App Review for seven years and wrote the guidelines. 3.2(f) used to mean real fraud. Now it’s being used against developers who did exactly what Apple approved.
I’ve made this Substack post free for everyone. Every developer needs to see it before this happens to them.
Share it before someone you know gets that email.

Yeah, right. Maybe Rork wasn't fully polished back then, but I actually really enjoy using it now because I no longer have to spend time finding and configuring MCPs and Skills for every single task. It's extremely time-consuming, and many MCPs require a paid subscription or even a credit card j, Audio, 3D model... . And this not an ad 😃

@mildlysupreme This is not a paid post. I'm using it to build my game and apps + open source, and I'm not being paid to post this. I always label every sponsored post as a "Paid Partnership" x.com/alexcooldev/st…
My game is now 90% complete, with almost all features built. 🔥
30+ real-world businesses, dynamic weather, day/night cycles, and an economy that reacts to them.
Added monetization: rewarded ads, season passes, lucky spins, and diamonds to speed up progress. Still free-to-play!
fix bugs, and polish before launch. 👀
Built with Opus 5.5 + Sonnet 5.5 for smaller tasks.

I just realized today is Halloween. No wonder my study app content has been getting fewer views lately, and new users and revenue have also been dropping over the past few days. 😌

Some guys say AI content doesn’t work.
Today, I randomly came across a fitness channel that’s 100% AI-generated.
They’ve already started building an app and are using that same AI channel to market it.
They went viral before even launching the app.
And with a direct CTA like rsion rate will be pretty damn good.
