Solo dev here. I rode in a truck with a driver for two weeks, then built a profit calculator for truck drivers with Claude Code (React Native + Expo, Supabase, RevenueCat). Real numbers after ~6 months: - ~200 downloads - 3 paying users - $15/month revenue - ~$58/month in costs Building was the easy part. Apple rejected me twice, publishing took 3 weeks, and nobody finds a new app in the store. Biggest lesson: distribution first, code second. How much does your side project make? Roast my app if you want.   submitted by   /u/Private_profit [link]   [comments]
