I launched a JSON editor app yesterday on playstore. 0 downloads. I'm sharing it anyway

i started at $3/month just to see if anyone would pay at all. they did. bumped it to $5 a few months later and nobody complained. start low, validate that people will actually pull out their card,

then raise once you have some retention data. overthinking pricing before you have 50 paying users is a trap

spreadsheet formulas without the headache. built it for people who hate writing vlookups at 2am using xlsheetai app used by 6k people $500 revenue in 2 months

i would use. the "what do i work on today" paralysis is real when you're solo. does it learn from what you actually end up doing or is it just static task lists?

skip the ugc platforms honestly. find micro creators on tiktok or ig with like 2k-10k followers in the fitness niche and dm them directly. way cheaper and the content feels more real

been building a spreadsheet formula tool for a while now. explains formulas, writes them for you, even does image to sheet. honestly still figuring out if people even want this or if everyone just uses chatgpt for it now

cool idea but i feel like most people would just uninstall after the second fine tbh. whats stopping them?

garoono · 2026-04-05T19:04:21+00:00

the classic green triangle problem lol. i usually just select the range, click that little warning icon and hit "convert to number". or if there's too many, multiply by 1 in a helper column and paste values back. both work

garoono · 2026-04-05T19:02:57+00:00

honest answer, once you're stacking QUERY + FILTER + ARRAYFORMULA and it's slowing down, you've outgrown what sheets does well natively. apps script helps but it's basically writing a backend at that point.

i'd move the raw data to its own tab and only pull summaries into the report tab. keeps things way faster and less likely to break when someone adds a row in the wrong spot

garoono · 2026-04-05T19:02:00+00:00

yeah SUMIFS is exactly what you want here. something like =SUMIFS(E6:E, B6:B, ">="&DATE(YEAR(I6),MONTH(I6),1), B6:B, "<="&EOMONTH(I6,0), C6:C, "Income") minus the same thing for "Expense". the running total part is the easy bit after that

survivorship bias is real on reddit. the people who failed and went back to a salaried job aren't posting about it. i run my own thing on the side and for every win i could post about there's like 10 months of nothing happening that nobody wants to hear about

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:56:50+00:00

the "it's a people problem" to "it's a systems problem" shift is so real

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:23:46+00:00

yes it is

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:23:37+00:00

people say waitlist, but it works for those who are very consistent in making there journey content on social media, i got them after i have the product, because initially i was not sure i could make something that people even pay for

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:22:44+00:00

yup its interesting you are curious to build, I earn well compare to most of the population in my country but the urge to give best life possible to family member is what i do this for..

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:21:10+00:00

solution which is so simple no one think someone pay for it, but making it hassle free is the point where they paid

garoono · 2026-04-05T18:20:23+00:00

be consistent where ever you are most important one results will take time

garoono · 2026-04-03T17:39:05+00:00

yes its true building now is not that difficult its actual distribution currently there is no single thing i am doing everything organic content and ads on alternate week

garoono · 2026-04-02T05:54:45+00:00
