I made a puzzle game, this is definitely more fun than building the same utility apps as everyone else. Now let's see if it can make any money haha

Just saw that we launched Pigi on some directory and got to 2nd place yesterday with 65 upvotes 😮 Didn't even know about it until I checked vercel analytics and saw some traffic coming in from that site😅

1 month after launch we are sitting at solid $23 MMR. 🦉 Updated onboarding flow 💳 Updated paywall to be more personalized 💰 running apple ads again, more focused campaigns 🌳 ASO seems to be improving a lot as well, got couple of trial starts before I restarted the ads All in all decent start I think, at least not sitting at $0 but long ways to go🙂

Added more languages to Pigi — Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Already got the first organic user from Korea. They started a trial and cancelled almost immediately, so not exactly a win 😅 but it was still cool to see localization actually bring someone in though maybe needs some more work haha

I'm right there with you 🤝

Well this was a nice surprise 😮

~2 weeks of running paid Apple Ads for Pigi 🎯 Spent ~$98/100 in promo credit 💰 - 76 installs - 19 trial starts - 1 trial converted ( after billing error ) - 2 still active - 2 monthly & 2 yearly canceled from failed billing 😭 - others cancelled immediately MMR so far: $5.06 😅 So for now not gonna put my own money into ads, will focus on Reddit and organic marketing next.

Got inspired by this and updated OG image for Pigi too😮 what you guys think?

Another one 😅 Very odd, I checked in revenueCat and it looks like none of the active trials are using the app since install and also not canceling but letting this happen🤷‍♂️ The 1st one did end up fixing it and became subscribed so will see what happens with this one 🤞

Before I launched Pigi I could come up with new features every day that I wanted to add but now most of the days are spent on trying to figure out marketing and ads. My codex usage has 95% left over on weekly with 2 resets available 😭 What else could I be doing now?

Yeey, Pigi is at $5 MMR 🥳 Feels even better than when I was doing productized services and saw $3995 stripe notification 😂

1st trial conversion 🥲 still 6 more active trials so hopefully one of them converts but not seeing any activity since install so not much hope 🤷‍♂️ For now we still in $0 MMR club

Is anybody out there? 😅

Astro shows me that Pigi already has 13 x 5 star ratings but only 3 of them count for some reason 🥲

If you're a solo founder building in public now show your product below and let's connect 🤝

Is gpt 5.5 xhigh gotten bad lately? Used to be able to 1 shot landing pages for me for guides pages and now it's so bad, keeps redesigning components on its own for no reason when I ask a simple change. Xhigh feels like what medium was a month ago 🤷‍♂️

Weekly build in public recap 🚀 First real paid-traffic test for Pigi: 35 installs, 5/7 trials still active. I reached out to users who cancelled and asked why. One said “too expensive”, even though Pigi is already ~50% cheaper than other budgeting apps in Poland. So I’m not lowering the price yet. I think the issue is value clarity. Also shipped Savings Goals + Home Screen widgets. Next week: continue with the ad promo + start posting and commenting on Reddit see how it goes.

Someone just sent a message to my support email asking me if they can ask a question 😅
