hi all,
it’s been a while since i wrote article, this one is just a life update!
i quit my 9 to 5 job a month ago with $0 MRR, betting everything on building a profitable app as a solo founder.
this is the biggest decision of my life. i’ve worked as a software engineer for almost 4 and a half years in Japan and Canada.
It was a fun time, but i knew this was what i always wanted since becoming a software engineer.
Why I quit
i’ve always wanted to be free, not working 9 to 5 for someone else, but creating what i want.
and now, with the rise of AI, i believe it’s the best timing ever to bet on the entrepreneurial path.
What I’ve been doing for 1 month
for the past month, i’ve been focusing on building and marketing.
i’ve never done marketing before.
it’s not glamorous, but it’s all about small, consistent progress that eventually grows into something bigger.
i started posting on X daily and gained over 100 new followers.
i posted on Reddit to spread awareness of my app.
i built an anonymous chat app called "One New Friend".
so far, it has reached 1.5k installs (iOS + Android) and makes $13 MRR. honestly, this is the happiest moment ever for me.
marketing feels plain at times, but it’s also surprisingly fun.
Try my first app
you can check out my app. it’s completely free:
What’s next
this journey is just beginning.
i don’t know if I’ll succeed or fail, but i’m sure the experience will be 100% worth it.
if you’re also planning to walk a similar path, let’s connect!
Product Hunt Launch 🎉
almost forgot...
i just launched my app on Product Hunt.
it’s a big competition, so if you find my app interesting, i’d really appreciate your support and vote 🙏
Happy coding!!
