#212Good job! I've created gif meme creator and so far I've only received one 5 USD donation. :D https://gifmemes.io
It would be ideal if the app creator is able to provide some verification to show they are indeed generating the stated revenue of $4K per month?
At the very least it will help me improve my understanding of the kind of things for which people are willing to part their hard earned money.

I wonder now two things created to solve same problem
1 - $5 total revenue
2 - $4000/month
? What was the marketing difference???

this looks super cool. I'm working (from time to time) in a web flash app, that could be used to this kind of meme creation. How do you do the tracking? Is it blob tracking or do you use something more sofisticated? this is how my web flash app is coming along: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3pnEx5_eGm9BbCp2ZTj6...
I'm also interested in the GIF export. Right now I'm only exporting videos using canvas record stream, but I'm thinking about using ffmpeg.js to support different formats including animated gifs
I work for PaperlessPost.com, and for our Flyer product we export mp4s from ffmpeg compiled to WASM, which is similar to ffmpeg.js but optimized for our use case which sounds similar. We have this WebAssembly method working well but iOS 15 (and the other major browsers) now support MediaExporter which might be a better way to go if you have something else to convert these files. This becomes and issue because you can't control the format MediaRecorder is recording to but the management of memory, the image quality, the compression, the performance hit will be more ideal than these other methods. OMGgif is very slow and will produce large files or very bad looking ones. Keep in mind that GIFs limit the colors so something that looks nice on the screen might not look the same after it is saved. The other thing to look out for is the WebCodecs APIs which should be the ultimate way to handle all of this in the future but it is only working in Chrome I think https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs

I have considered this, I don't see anywhere near the same purchase conversion on android that I do on iOS. But that could also be due to build quality. Do you have any insight on how successful pay models are on android apps?
Mate - you're making $4k/mo. Budget some Operating Expenditures! Check into "Profit First" to ensure you're handling your business finances in a proper manner. A healthy allocation of OpEx is 30% of your revenue at your size. Start saving $1200/mo for all OpEx, and use some of that to build your Android app. It'll pay dividends!
Isn't building an android app capex?

Your opinion is misconstrued.
How? Of course asking OP to add features for a site he offers for free is wrong, but I don't think he's wrong about gif. As far as I know all the "gif" sharing sites like giphy and stickers in chat apps like discord, etc actually use webms/webps.
Gif is simply the most versatile format on the face of the planet. When you go down the rabbit hole you’ll discover this too.

#217What lead you to settle on a meme creator?
What would you suggest for a small independent entrepreneur looking to come up with his own SaaS? I'm pretty comfortable with a broad enough frontend and backend stack from my day job. Where I lack is market research.

#218I love it!

At $4k per month, you could sell it for quite a bit of money. Multiples on apps are pretty high right now.
Are there any marketplaces for apps. I have a few.
Yes, many options exist. The big one is Flippa which will take just about any project and allow you to list. There are others that are specific for large businesses (either have a listing price floor or a revenue floor) such as FE International and Empire Flippers. Another new one that is 0% commission is MicroAcquire. I follow the founder on Twitter and they seem to be doing quite a bit of volume.
I've personally sold projects on both Flippa and MicroAcquire and happy to chat about the pro's/con's of each.

Yes the users are quite active. The main thing people are paying for are the video features and the video scraper. There is some code which allows the app to pull videos from youtube, instagram, facebook, twitter, reddit, etc, and I think that is really the thing that separates this app from other generic image editors.
