About this episode

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the story of Jake, a solo developer who built a habit tracker app that reached $10,000 MRR solely through the iOS App Store — no website, no newsletter, no social media. They break down his acquisition strategy, pricing, retention mechanics, and the surprising advantage of a single-channel approach. Jake's journey from a side project to a sustainable micro-SaaS offers concrete lessons for indie hackers looking to launch on mobile platforms without marketing spend. The hosts also share their own experience with listener-funded, ad-free content. Tune in for a focused case study on mobile-first indie hacking. #IndieHacker #SoloDeveloper #MobileApp #SaaS #AppStore #10KMRR #HabitTracker #PassiveIncome #MicroSaaS #Bootstrapping #iOS #ProductLed #NoMarketing #SideProject #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #IndieDev Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
