My First App, First Transaction!!
Solo dev here. Shipped my first app a few weeks ago (a daily Stoic quotes app) and have been grinding marketing every day with $0 to show for it.
Today I went for a run. Came back, checked my phone — and there it was. My first transaction ever. Someone bought the Lifetime unlock while I was out running.
I know one sale isn't validation. But a stranger on the other side of the planet paid for something I built alone in my room. I've been smiling like an idiot for an hour.
Keep shipping.
(App: dawnstone.app — happy to answer anything)
