@kayvon.ai: Day 1 of speedrunning an app to $10,000 a month. Current revenue: $0. A year and a half ago I was doing 14 hour shifts in a security booth at a construction site, teaching myself to code on a laptop between rounds. Those projects got me into Cornell, and Cornell got me into AI. Since then I’ve taught millions of people how to build with it, grown a following of over 600,000, and worked with some of the biggest AI companies in the world on their content. Here’s the part that bugs me. Everything I’ve ever built has been for me. Nobody has paid me a single dollar for something I made. That changes now. I’m not inventing an idea. I’m going on TrustMRR and Sensor Tower, finding something that already makes real money, and building a better version of it. Web app first, Next.js on Vercel, Supabase for the database, Stripe for payments, first version built on Emergent so I’m not wiring up logins for a week. Then I do the thing I’m actually good at. I have 12 editors behind me and a year of running distribution for AI unicorns, so I’m going to flood every platform with content and double down on whatever converts. The MVP is going to be ugly on purpose. I want real feedback in days, not a polished product nobody asked for in months. The $0 MRR counter in the corner stays on every episode until it moves. If you’ve built an app before and you’d do any of this differently, tell me in the comments. I’m reading all of them.
