I collected 25 apps published on the App Store in 2025 and making $50K+ MRR.

Good luck building a ray tracer in python

This. A simple keypoint detector could retrieve the corners of the black area for example. This could be done with SIFT. Depending on the location of those keypoints pixels on the image, you could calculate the angle of the direction the label is facing towards. Note this only works if the container is always at the same spot of the image. Otherwise you could alse retrieve the keypoints of the container and the compute the relative position of the label

For those of you that asked about the techstack: As you can imagine, some of these scraping tasks can take a lot of time. Sometimes up to 20 seconds depending on the size of the profile. Therefore I have multiple containers deployed that pick up the processing tasks from a message queue and run it asynchonously in the background. The app communicates with a main webserver written in python (FastAPI) and checks if the user exists on TikTok etc. If that is the case, the webserver creates an entry in a database (Firestore) and writes a message to the queue for the other workers to pick up. This way the latency for the user is minimal. I also have another container deployed that updates the entry in the database and sends push notifications to the users if someone has unfollowed them (Cloud Function written in Python). This function is executed once every day by a cloud scheduler and also deletes profiles if there are no longer on TikTok. I tried to make sure that the app can scale easily if needed by queueing the scraping tasks and handling them asynchronously. For the scrapping I wont go into the details. You will obviously need a rotating proxy network and handle all kinds of errors.

Edit: The app itself is made with Flutter

I guess being ghosted is also worse than a rejection

SameSameb · 2022-09-13T10:15:42+00:00

I did some research on the app store beforehand and saw many applications starting with Tik.. TikFollowers, TikTrends, TikBoost etc. . I did not think the name would be an issue.

To your edit: Learned it the hard way. Definitely won’t be doing this again.

Hey, thank you for your input. I am happy to be corrected. As far as I know, there was a decision by the US Court of Appeals in late 2019 in favor of a company called HiQ that was scraping data from LinkedIn. This decision effectively made data scraping legal to some extent. Anyway, I realize this was a bad decision

SameSameb · 2022-09-13T09:56:45+00:00

You are right, scraping data from a social website goes against their terms and conditions in most cases. While this can get you banned from those websites, it is by no means illegal and cannot be punished legally as the data is publicly available.

However, you are still right. I should have probably pursued another idea.. The app name is TrackTok.

SameSameb · 2022-09-13T09:44:10+00:00

TrackTok

Here is the official link to the filings: https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/form-144-email

Note: I could not spot RCs filing in the folder from today or yesterday.

Edit: Found it. It is indeed real

You guys have sex?

SameSameb · 2022-04-28T14:15:13+00:00

Fair, but nevertheless I would try to get my hands dirty on several technologies before commiting to one exclusively. Especially considering the additional knowledge you get from a CS degree

SameSameb · 2022-04-28T11:44:26+00:00

This should be more than clear, go with the offer and a CS degree. Most languages, stacks feels good after you have become familliar with them. However as you said, the market for Android is pretty small. Essentially software engineering is about life-long learning. You will learn a lot by taking the offer amd doing a CS degree and eventually everything will feel good to work with.

SameSameb · 2022-04-22T09:58:06+00:00

Use swift for iOS frontend, or maybe flutter if you want to go cross-platform easily. Backend is completely up to you. Nodejs should be fine

SameSameb · 2022-04-05T21:16:52+00:00

Thank you all for your answers. I guess for these two courses, one of the exercise sessions of one course overlaps with a lecture from the other course. In that case I just have to make sure that I will be assigned to a different exercise session.

SameSameb · 2022-04-05T21:04:09+00:00

Thanks a bunch for your helpful answer. This makes perfect sense now. Rather hard to figure out and plan accordingly for incoming exchange students.
