The honest version of a "build in public" post is the one you write when the numbers aren't what you expected.

Three months ago I shipped six apps in about six weeks. Momentum, PawFormance, PillPal, HomeGrown, Palette Pro, ContentForge. All live. All working. One paying subscriber across the whole portfolio at month one.

Here's what I learned.

The apps weren't the problem. Distribution was.

I built each app to solve a real problem I had or watched someone have. Momentum came from tracking my own workouts badly. PillPal came from watching my mother manage medications in a way that scared me. HomeGrown came from a garden spreadsheet that was getting embarrassing.
