I dont believe in subscriptions I hate notifications Double payments for me and my wife, or separately for my iphone and mac? Thats evil. I dont believe in giving away financial info. I dont believe in locking personal data behind paywalls. All those things are reflected in my app longbook.app

Money gets messy when it's spread across cards, accounts and family. Add one bank statement and longbook does the rest. Early-user price: $38 one-time, then $98, then $149. longbook.app/?utm_source=x&u…

Most people only find out a payment was due when the charge lands. I made longbook so I can see what is due, from which account and for whom. No bank login. Your data stays in your own iCloud. One purchase, every device, yours for life. longbook.app/?utm_source=x&u…

An example of a feature nobody asked for: While longbook app understands your statement and prepares your recurring commitments > you can now wait and play a MINI GAME 😁 (longbook server deletes the data immediately after processing it, so your data remains only with you)
49
Added a Coming Up timeline in longbook.app Easily see your next 30 financial commitments Or pull back to see your last 30 expenses Haptics on the pulls
44
Added monthly reports in longbook.app Automatically makes monthly expense reports > share with wife > ask for comments on any expense Can also make Trip Expense Reports.

When you ask yourself why build apps when anyone can build it with AI, Ask why you buy bread when you can make it at home?
Every idea feels taken Every API already exists Every SaaS has 12 competitors What are we even supposed to build anymore?

My new way of going to bed with a few decisions my claude needs. I know its rookie, compared to all the smart devs on X running 100agents autonomously… Getting there, i need a year in my learnings curve journey

This makes me want to buy an iPhone duo…
Without exaggeration: Anthropic has done the most amazing job adapting Claude for the iPhone Duo, and I'm blown away by how good it looks. Now all I need is my iPhone Duo delivery. Kudos @AnthropicAI

You can bake a cake in an hour. Theobroma was still sold for INR 22,000,0000000
Serious question: If anyone can build a SaaS in a month... what makes it valuable?

Working with AI as a noobie is like trying to tame the dragon while learning how to tame the dragon.
hot take: AI does not make you 10x faster.

Its going to happen because i’m going to make it happen!
i've realized that if you dont REALLY want something (to get a 6 pack, make $1M) then you will likely NOT get it but if you REALLY want something then it will happen, you will make it happen. you will wake up and go to sleep thinking about it... until "it" happens

One bro-code for all solo founders of X: If you feel inspired by someone else, don’t copy their app and become a competitor. Buy their app and help them with a public review.
