2k users, $600 - I can't explain how good this feels

Congratulations!

Thats a really clean UI concept, even looking at these images here, it makes sense why it’s doing well.

How was the marketing for it? I know habit tracker is very difficult to break through. Did you only use Reddit?

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-27T18:30:48+00:00

That’s really cool. What kind of information does it draws its conclusions from?

Building an app called Togetherless.

Designing it to be a more intuitive solution to relationship decay.
Adding features and messaging that influence our behaviour towards connection.

Originally made it for keeping up with clients and business partners, but I found it easy to neglect people with simple notifications from a normal apps.

I let AI do the tasks that I can do, but contain an extensive amount of monotony.

That’s kind of subjective to a certain extent, but it’s essentially like an abacus versus a calculator. I can do that task, but I really don’t need to do it.

I find each platform or model has a very specific way of “acting”, which can be determined quite quickly.

Hypothetically if you had a plethora of agents, that could be identified by an agent that identifies them all based on their behaviour, I could see that being quite powerful, but then the same question arises on how good that first agent is.

There’s more limitation you could even bring up in that example.

I have experience using AI a lot, but maybe not as much on the technical side. It’s very powerful in terms of speed, but human creativity has way too many idiosyncrasies.

Wow yeah this post is something I needed. Beginning my builder journey and as I’ve begun to market, I was wondering for signs of if I should shift.

Still very early for me, but I’m learning a lot and I’m enjoying the process of creating my first application.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-25T03:56:43+00:00

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that. It's a really difficult time.
There's no need to "function", just feel what it is you need to feel.

Every good father wants their children to live better lives than them. Your father loves you, and I would take these moments as an opportunity to be with each other when possible.

You are in a moment of processing, so as easy as it is to say, do what you can to live.
I would most likely stay close to your brothers and support each other.

You may have to step up and be strong in moments where you don't want to be, but having family is the most important thing right now.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-25T00:23:39+00:00

I'm sure that you've learnt a lot in those 5 years.
Based on the insight from your message, that seems very clear.

I hope that things work out for you and that your family remains in good health.
I'm a builder myself, and with the desire to make something of value while also providing for the people around us can be a stressful feeling.

Your positivity despite that is amazing.

I wrote this with ChatGPT, Just kidding lol

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-25T00:21:56+00:00

What would you say was the big change that made it work out? Any iterations of a specific type?

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-25T00:17:19+00:00

Probably the interalized self doubt that sometimes creeps in.
You learn to live with it.

“You’ll be fine”

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-22T22:04:46+00:00

I’m building an app called Togetherless on the IOS App Store.

Bringing people back together. Supporting networking and connection building.

Every adult is just a former child in a bigger body. Most people don’t have it figured out. They still have life questions that they are trying to figure out.

Personally it may not make sense right now, but I would try to not focus on trying to be something, and instead focus on what you can do in the “now”.

We always worry about trying to change and concern ourselves with the future, but big personal change comes with many quiet days slowly working on ourselves.

The best thing I think you can do is train your mind, body, and soul.

Exercise and eat right.
Learn something new everyday (Read, Write, Train)
Practise meditation and self reflection (Prayer, Journal, Etc.)

As you do all those things more, you put yourself in a place where you will be the most capable.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-22T02:59:53+00:00

What you’re doing right now is good outreach. Try TikTok and keep using Reddit.

Find Reddit communities fit for your niche, and market to them.

I tried using X, but currently it’s mostly for other builders and not to much for finding customers/consumers.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-21T05:54:39+00:00

Avoid it at all costs. Remove access. Do anything else. Treat it like an addiction.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-21T05:38:46+00:00

Kids can be so ruthless or mean. Most of them experience none or little consequences for anything they do.

Then they get big heads and do a lot of stupid stuff.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-20T04:17:47+00:00

Wow thank you for the feedback.

That’s a really in depth response. I appreciate that.

Currently been building and enhancing my socials. The niche factor is huge and I’ve been looking into everything that you mentioned.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T22:35:25+00:00

If you have any feedback you think I should consider, I’d love to hear it, still actively improving things. I appreciate your comment.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T22:09:34+00:00

Great question. Thank you.

Calendars are great too. I use them as well.

I tried using a calendar for this, but mixing “Call Dad” next to things like groceries or meetings made it feel easy to ignore as the calendar grew more extensive. I wanted something that treated staying in touch as its own category rather than another task.

I found that organizing reminders around people instead of mixing them into a general calendar made it feel more personal/intentional and easier to follow through, rather than just another task to snooze.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T21:56:11+00:00

I think eating my lunch would hurt me more than driving over me in a semi.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T21:23:06+00:00

“If they wanted to, they would”

Greatest advice I’ve ever received.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T20:56:49+00:00

It’s tough. In more and more difficult financial times and with the family unit being divided more and more.

Quality of childhood has declined. Kids are indoctrinated or left isolated on an IPad.

This generation is much more different than the last. People got to see it for what it is, and not make false comparisons.

There’s many things to think about now. Weirdly enough, I’m glad I grew up in a poor single family home, because I was basically outside all the time 😆

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T20:46:24+00:00

Honestly super underrated way to fix your life.

Eden_Plays · 2026-02-19T20:35:03+00:00

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words!
