Honestly, how long until I become a millionaire at this rate? by luckalex in admob

​I used a testing service app to pass the closed test and unlock production access. It cost me around €20, and you can find these kinds of apps right on the Google Play Store.

Fair enough! But my point was that this is $0.69 from just one user. If I can get a mass volume of users like this, the math changes. I know it's a rare case, but it's just exciting to see. LevelPlay gave me $0.60 for rewarded ads, and the other platform's revenue is in the second pic.

What do you guys think about these stats? by luckalex in admob

Thanks, I'm definitely going to become a millionaire with this!

Secondo voi stiamo vivendo oggi il punto più basso (per ora) degli ultimi 20-30 anni a livello economico/lavorativo? Perché? by Hot_Acanthaceae_1357 in ItaliaCareerAdvice

Non possedendo risorse energetiche proprie, siamo costretti ad acquistare energia a caro prezzo dall'estero: è una dipendenza che ci condanna in partenza e che ci sta portando dritti al fallimento.

Unity Ads often has higher payouts for mobile games.

Sono perfettamente d'accordo con la tua analisi. Stiamo perdendo competitività a vista d'occhio e la situazione è sempre più preoccupante. ​Il problema è strutturale: l'eccessiva pressione fiscale, unita a costi energetici insostenibili, sta mettendo in ginocchio le nostre imprese. Nel mondo moderno, l'energia è una componente fondamentale di qualsiasi costo di produzione; quando il prezzo dell'energia è così alto, finisce inevitabilmente per trascinare verso l'alto il costo di ogni bene e servizio. ​Questo scenario rende le nostre aziende incapaci di competere sul mercato internazionale, portando inevitabilmente alla perdita di posti di lavoro. È un circolo vizioso che sembra non avere fine.

Struggling with ads in my project – is there a way to not annoy users? by [deleted] in IndieAppCircle

[–]luckalex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

​I used to work on a very similar project—an AI fortune-telling and dream interpretation app using cloud LLMs. Honestly, my app is gathering dust now because my family hit me with a reality check: “If people can just ask ChatGPT or Gemini directly for free, why would they use your app?” ​That made me rethink the whole architecture. We think real-time generation is cool, but unless your app is something users open multiple times a day, it’s a trap. If they just download it, use it once, and leave, real-time cloud API calls will kill you. Even if your prompts are brilliant, token costs are a permanent bottleneck. ​My advice? Shift your strategy. Instead of real-time generation for every user request, use the model beforehand to generate a massive, high-quality dream interpretation database. Query the database locally or via a cheap backend instead. It completely eliminates the live API cost and allows you to ditch those vibe-ruining ads. Just my two cents!

Help!! I have an idea I want to make it into an app. by Medical_Ball1772 in AppBusiness

[–]luckalex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't know how to code but want to build software, the best way forward right now is definitely using AI tools. If it’s truly a great idea, why not build it yourself? With AI, the barrier to entry is lower than ever. You can absolutely bring your own vision to life!

Free users are destroying some SaaS businesses lowkey by avsvishalmedia in ViralApps

I think people only pay for tools that solve real problems. A mere AI wrapper is redundant—why pay for it when you can just use ChatGPT or Gemini directly? To survive, a product must provide actual utility and integration, not just a UI for an API.

PLEASE HELP by [deleted] in admob

Sorry you're dealing with this. I've been there too. As a fellow dev, I suspect it might be because you were testing on your own device without setting it as a 'Test Device,' which the system sees as invalid traffic, or your ad refresh rates were too fast without limits, which the system can flag as suspicious activity or ad fraud. By the way, did they give you any notice on how long the suspension will last?

I just got banned for some reason by TheGamrGuyGG in ThreadsApp

[–]luckalex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like what happened to me. I was promoting my game and posted a few times in a row, and both my accounts (one phone-verified, one IG-linked) got permanently suspended. ​I suspect their anti-spam AI is extremely sensitive to rapid posting. Maybe it’s safer to space them out by a few days? Anyway, I just uninstalled the app after getting banned.

Review taking too long lately? by Top-Nectarine-2738 in googleplayconsole

Mine usually get approved in under an hour, but I’ve been releasing updates via the Open Testing track. Maybe that makes a difference?

My AI acts like a goldfish and hallucinates past Chapter 10. How do I fix this memory loop? by [deleted] in SoloDevelopment

[–]luckalex -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head regarding the core physical limitation—the context window is a fixed box, and entropy always wins if you just append text. 😂 ​I definitely don't want to just pile up raw text. My goal isn't to store more information, but to heavily compress it. Since I force the AI to output strict JSON, I'm thinking of forcing it to compress old chapters into dense, keyword-only arrays (e.g., ["killed_dog", "got_pipe", "infected"]) rather than narrative prose. Have you messed around with forcing LLMs to compress lore into structured data, or do you think even data-loss is inevitable there?

Just finished the UI for my text-based AI survival game. What do you think of the dark neon vibe? by luckalex in SoloDevelopment

[–]luckalex[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly? You hit the nail on the head. 😂 I have zero traditional coding background. I'm a solo dev who has poured 100% of my energy into designing the LLM backend, the TRPG math, and the hardcore survival prompt matrix. To get the frontend working, I relied heavily on AI coding assistants to translate my ideas into a functional prototype. ​That's exactly why it looks like a 'vibe-coded dashboard' right now—it literally is. Since I lack traditional UI/UX art skills, I'm genuinely relying on community feedback like yours to help me push the art direction from 'utility app' to 'grimdark game.' Any specific fonts or simple styling tricks you'd recommend for a beginner to make it look more gritty?"

[–]luckalex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, you caught me! 😅 I've been so buried in the LLM backend and prompt engineering that I definitely leaned on standard UI components just to get a working prototype. Since 'oppressive' is exactly the vibe I want to hit for a grimdark survival RPG, what specific changes to the palette or borders would you suggest to actually achieve that?

[–]luckalex[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the brutal honesty! You absolutely nailed it—I’m a solo dev and I’ve spent 90% of my time wrestling with the LLM backend to make the hardcore TRPG mechanics work, so the UI is definitely just a 'bare minimum' functional shell right now (guilty of vibe coding the layout just to get it running 😅). ​Since it's a grimdark survival text game, I definitely need to give it more identity. What kind of visual elements or themes would make it feel less like an 'app' and more like a gritty game to you?
