Not much has changed since the last thread. Improvely ( https://www.improvely.com ) is still in the 5-digit monthly RR range and growing, and I do no outbound marketing other than some PPC ads that don't need much active management. Everything that can be automated has been automated (onboarding, lifecycle mails, dunning mails for billing issues, etc), leaving me free to spend all my time on support and improving the…

Is mining Bitcoin still proficient (except for ASIC makers, huh)?
Mining scrypt coins is proficient. I make $400/month with 2 machines I built 6 months ago.
I do wish I'd held onto my dogecoins though, I would've made a LOT more if I hadn't kept pumping/dumping.

#173My iOS app that teaches you what a tesseract is and lets you manipulate it in 3D and 4D. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-fourth-dimension/id50420... It blows my mind that people still find out about this app and happily buy it every day even though it occupies such a small geeky niche.
The app icon is irresistible.

Nice! WRT to the icon, you should add stereoscopic imaging (red/green style) to geek out even further!

#175A few years ago, I wanted to build an oscilloscope in my pocket, so I went ahead and did it. Then I wanted a spectrum analyzer, and then an equalizer. 1) oScope — an oscilloscope in your pocket. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oscope/id344345859?mt=8 2) Octave — a real-time audio analyzer. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/octave-an-rta-for-the-iphone... 3) Fourier — a spectrum analyzer. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app…
Here's a perspective from the other side: I purchased Octave and having used it, and asked for a small feature (single-tap to pause). You told me that you don't have much time and will work on this feature when you have time. I understand that, but it's disappointing from the consumer point of view. I wish I knew that before I dropped $5. Basically, it sucks to be stuck on the "passive" receiving end of a passive inc…

Seems to violate the premise of "the dumber the app, the more popular it will be." Awesome.
"The dumber the app..." works almost everytime. I launched a conceptually great app which was a complete failure: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/gravity-byte/id504372023?mt=... Then launched a card game which is a decent success..
