a 2.0 one week after launch, built straight from buyer feedback, is the best way to turn those first 100 buyers into fans

発売直後に100人以上が買ってくれても、「うるさい」という声はグサッと来ますね。OmniNotch 2.0でそこに手を入れたの、作る側として身につまされます。

I almost never build software because I personally want it. Historically, I’ve preferred starting with customers. Before investing months in a product, I want to understand the struggle and see what people are already trying to do. Part of that bias was practical. Software was expensive to build. Beam started differently. We build Mac apps, so development and QA happen across a bunch of machines. We kept running into moments when something we needed was open on another one, sometimes for only a few minutes. The usual answer was Screen Sharing. You climb into the other computer, find what you need, do the work, then climb back out. Sam Asante built the first version around a simpler idea. If a window was running on that Mac, it should be able to live on this one. That became Beam. Building the first version was cheap enough that the product itself could become the research. We put it in front of people. I asked people on X about their weird multi-Mac setups. More than 100 people replied and 42 filled out a baseline form. They described use cases we hadn’t considered and gave us better language for the product than we had ourselves. We used a Grok Bot to research the same behavior across X. It found more people already living with the problem and surfaced places where our assumptions were wrong. The next step is bringing those early users together in a small X group chat. They’ll get Beam free while we learn how it fits into the setups they already have. I still believe customers eventually matter more than your own intuition. They outnumber you. The difference now is sequencing. Scratch your own itch. Ship it. Then find out how many other people are scratching the same place.

This guy took a brand‑new app to #1 overall in the App Store and 1,000,000 downloads in under 3 days. For the FIRST TIME, he breaks down exactly how he did it, and we’re posting the full, RAW conversation right here on X To be clear, this is his first and only podcast on this playbook... And a little more context: this wasn’t luck. Jibran has taken 4 different apps to #1 in the App Store, including one that did $1.5M in 3 days and outranked ChatGPT He did it with a handful of creators, zero paid ads, and a product philosophy that blew my mind Here’s the core of what he taught me: > Your product and your marketing are not two separate things; they're the same thing. > What goes viral on TikTok is product validation. > What you learn from a hit video should change your UI, your App Store screenshots, your icon He ran that loop obsessively.. For his 2025 Wrapped app, he spent hundreds of hours in Figma asking one question: > “How does this look on TikTok?” Then he tracked: 1. What users screenshotted 2. What they shared to Snapchat 3. What slide they dropped off on The result was a #1 overall app in the App Store. Above EVERYTHING. Now he’s building because he realized he was spending hours every day doom‑scrolling TikTok looking for hooks and formats that worked So he built an AI to do it for him: > You tell it your app. > It tells you what to post, what’s trending in your niche, and what’s wrong with your existing videos. We go deep on all of it in this conversation. If you run a consumer app, this is the most useful 49 minutes you’ll spend this week
