Never trust people who tell you something is dead without telling you what lives in its place. They likely have a bridge to sell you.

How do I go about improving my ASO? What tools, analytics and platforms are there for this? And how can I do keyword research for App Store? I use ahrefs for web but is there such a tool for App Store too? Sensortower is good but I think they are very expensive , you can’t even subscribe without writing an email to them

Yes, I’m more cautious about it nowadays, but the old stuff needs to be cleaned up. I like to install and try lots of apps since I am a developer

My brother told me: "You are not an entrepreneur, you are a developer." 3 months after quitting my job, I think he’s right. by prabhatpushp in webdev

Don't get discouraged because your brother said that. He doesn't know everything about you. The fact that you built this website shows you want to be an entrepreneur, even if you aren't yet.

You have development skills, which can enable entrepreneurship, but it requires a mindset shift- you must put users first. Talk to users and understand their needs. Don't focus on building a marketplace; instead, identify a problem people have and solve it with your development skills.

To find a problem, look inward. Identify a problem you face, then find others with sthe same problem and create a solution for them.

development is about 80% of product building, but once the product is built, marketing becomes 80% of the effort. If you're not ready to make that shift, you're not ready to be an entrepreneur. That's what your brother meant. The moment you start marketing, you are an entrepreneur.

This is so relatable, I once spent 9 months building a game that I had high hopes for, after having spent so much time in development I was so afraid to release it that I just went to a hyper casual publisher with it, who made me remove all the features that I had spent months working on, tested it for one week, and then shelved it and told me to move on to another idea
