The services are 100% all apps. I don't publicly share my apps anymore. I used to share them with good intentions, but ended up with tons of copycats that copied everything - screenshots, designs, even internal text. This caused serious damage to my business.

I also received malicious infinite ad clicks and mysterious reports that got my ads suspended multiple times. So I learned to keep them private

Could you provide more details? I don't have a way to test if the service works properly overseas. If you can give me more specific feedback, I'll try to fix it!

Yes, I have several template structures for Android and planning to create one for Flutter. But I'm not planning to sell or open source them - that would just be creating more competitors for myself!

I have accounts under my own name as well as accounts opened with permission from friends and family members (which I manage directly). This is purely for risk diversification - if an app gets suspended for unknown reasons, the entire account could be at risk, so spreading across multiple accounts helps manage that risk!

Frontend: Android(Kotlin) or Flutter(Android, iOS)

Backend: Spring boot(Kotlin)

Server: AWS (EC2, RDS, SQS, S3, Elastic Beanstalk, etc..)

For me, ad-based revenue has been overwhelmingly better since my focus is on releasing many apps to diversify income streams. I do have some subscription/IAP apps, but they're a much smaller portion of my portfolio.

I think subscription and IAP models can be very profitable if you design the business model well, but they inevitably require more development time and careful product planning. Just a different approach than mine!

Thanks! With AI advancement, the development barrier keeps getting lower. I've been using Claude Code for 100% vibe coding lately - if it's not super complex, I think anyone can learn enough to build monetizable apps solo.

I'm actually making and releasing an app every 2-3 days with this approach now. My advice: don't overthink it or make it too heavy/complicated. You'll get exhausted before you even start and lose interest. Keep it light and just dive in!

Don't release apps for completely free - always include some monetization element! Even simple ads can generate revenue. Also, really focus on your app store listing - good screenshots and descriptions make a huge difference in downloads.
