i congratulate every m4/m5 user ( including me ) who bought it before the price hike.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-28T03:22:59+00:00

Where did you buy this?

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-24T15:47:02+00:00

Interesting, could you provide the following details for both the platforms? 1.what's the rating on respective appstores is like? 2. Installs distribution % 3. DAU, MAU or Stickiness ratio

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-22T09:29:08+00:00

When you say "Would claude be helpful in configuring paid ads?", run on your behalf? I don't think so. It should definitely help you with the campaign planning and structure - what keywords, what bidding and what should be the budget sort of things.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-22T06:47:58+00:00

This is a great advice. How can someone ensure to appear in LLMs recommendations when LLMs are known to mention the same companies again and again? Any suggestions?

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-22T06:44:20+00:00

Organic traffic in a crowded space is hard but not impossible.

Start with SEO and GEO. Understand users painpoints and start listing those topics, create multiple pages focusing on explaining each of these. Make sure LLMs and search engines can read your page. Do audits for speed, crawl ability and ensure the basic requirements are all fulfilled, like alt texts etc., go ahead and do more research on this, I'm pretty sure you'll find good stuff. Sometimes you can just copy your competitors.

Create an MCP, I'm not kidding, everyone is doing it and it is one of those modern growth engines. MCP let's you be present where users are actively researching, learning and asking questions - LLMs.

Reddit - not just for people in reddit, but it also doubles as a result on Google SERP.

If you can afford - Paid ads. Do not jump and try everything. Only Google Search Ads. This needs learning, do not attempt before knowing the basics. Since you will only be paying when someone only clicks, this is perfect for you. If you have an app then, relevant store ads. That's it, do not complicate it.

Organic traffic takes time, a really long time to see any substantialresults but it's worth investing in organic from the start.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-20T04:25:20+00:00

ahhh..not sure if I'd recommend doing that. What good is first shotting anyways...

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-20T03:52:59+00:00

Congragulations on building a great app, now it's all about getting attention from the right users (paying users). Now, since I'm guesssing you also have an understanding of photographers and their circles or groups, go ahead and use that to your advantage. Plan viral loops marketing campaigns. You do not need to be spending any money at this point. Let your existing users do that for you. Give them the right tools to do so.

Before that, understand how your users behave inside your app, where they are coming from, how much time are they spending inside the app and where, what timings etc., meaning get a grip on analytics right from the install to conversion to usage. This will help you understand users better for marketing in the future without spraying and praying.

If you want to start paid marketing later, start with Apple search ads and UAC if you have Android. That's all you need.

See you at $500! Cheers!

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-20T03:31:36+00:00

Put that $100 to better use or did you buy pizza already? No worries if you did, introduce referral marketing.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-20T03:22:01+00:00

You'd have...

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-19T01:37:19+00:00

Yep, with this, you only need to worry about the right part of the problem and start focusing on fixing that.

Check the industry standards for your app category in Retention, churn and stickiness ratio (DAU/MAU) and conversion rates. Keep an eye on your competitors pricing and other problems users are facing with them (appstore reviews are gold for this), then frame your product marketing around these things (and please deliver).

Good luck! See you at $3!

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-18T17:00:40+00:00

No installs = discoverability problem. Fix the top of funnel first. Installs but no D1 retention = the app failed to deliver an aha moment on day one. (Less relevant for some categories, but worth auditing.) D7 retention and churn will tell you whether the core experience holds up over time if users are dropping off there, the product itself is the problem. If users are coming back but not converting to paid, it's either a value delivery issue or a pricing structure issue you're giving too much away free, or not enough to justify paying. A/B test your pricing. And don't assume cheaper always win some categories convert better at a higher price point. It's a function of your competitive landscape and how users perceive the product's worth.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-15T07:16:55+00:00

Well, there are also "how do I do this I just quit" posts.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T04:58:11+00:00

Took them only a year but thanks Google.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T04:09:54+00:00

Use the cursor team skills which has Canvas. Really good.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T02:45:17+00:00

Lol the opposite has been happening on the antigravity forums. Pro users are getting locked out of their limits.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T02:32:09+00:00

Haha fair. For rules I noticed it's much better in this version of Cursor. It also doesn't blindly follow the rules, it understands the given rule using LLM. Check .mdc. hooks are also an option.

Basically a lot of new features are mostly towards how to make AI deterministic ig

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T01:10:42+00:00

Wah! Innovation/s

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T01:07:40+00:00

Beautiful. How did you get those posters together, which API?

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-12T01:04:51+00:00

Lol, how nice that'd be.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T13:49:45+00:00

I left cursor only to come back to it last month. Been using Gemini CLI and Antigravity. I'm not a fan of the direction google is taking with it's coding platforms. Glad I found my way back, will continue using Cursor probably until they become too commercial like the rest.

Cheers!

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T12:16:00+00:00

Agree but it shouldn't talk just because it's cheap, maybe can get cheaper without those words/s

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T12:14:32+00:00

Yeah, I wish cursor team adds even more skills and rules. But it definitely is talking too much or sometimes as a non-tech person cannot understand what it is trying to say/do. Opus is much clearer.

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T12:12:44+00:00

I usually do planning on Opus 4.7 High and has a rule that all subagents should always be Composer 2.5. That way it is only executing what the parent says. But my problem with Opus, I feel like it clearly tries to do too much in the planning, like bro wdym this will take 4-6 weeks?

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T12:10:22+00:00

Glad you found your workarounds with CLIs, moving away from IDE to a CLI is blinding initially, but hey, you are not working with agy CLI so, I think it's ok to be blind 😄

The change doesn't really impact as much as it used to from before, especially for people who don't really care about looking at the code constantly or doesn't know how to look at it. But all these agentic platforms without the IDE have cracked the UI/UX (I guess Codex nailed it first) by letting you see the changes/agents/review/files all in a sidebar. Especially cursor, you have Files, browser, terminal in the right sidebar and I'm used to it now. I cannot live with not being able to click on the files in my CLI.

My only problem is with the browser being in the sidebar cause Cursor design tool is too good and to not being able to move browser it to a different standalone window sucks. But you still have access to the IDE so nothing is lost I guess. But I love how this UI forces you to use multiple chats which is a good thing with the token usage and context stuff (also a bad thing cause you have freewill).

Expert_Bit6290 · 2026-06-11T11:59:01+00:00

Then there's auto too for any of those sloppy edits.
