Challenge: Building an app per week

Hi there, my name is Egor. As a digital nomad and indie hacker, I’m always looking for new challenges and ways to push the limits of what’s possible with tech. Inspired by the story of Pieter Levels, who successfully launched a product every month, I decided to embark on my own challenge: developing an AI-powered app every week.

The goal is simple yet ambitious — to create apps that provide real value and also have the potential to go viral and eventually generate revenue. I focus on identifying pain points and challenges that people face in their daily lives. Sometimes, product ideas come from my friends.

By using AI, I aim to streamline the development process and deliver apps consistently. One of my recent releases, “Feedback Loop: Interview Prep,” is an example of how AI can solve daily tasks and provide opportunities that weren’t available before. This app helps AI product managers prepare for interviews by asking questions as an experienced professional and a hiring manager and providing feedback. A tool like that can be helpful for many jobs, but I decided to go with an AI product manager to narrow down the audience (and also because it’s trending).

So far, I’ve released 4 apps:

  1. Prompt Forge (iOS) — teaches you how to code with AI
  2. Space Academy Quiz (iOS/Android) — interesting facts about space in a quiz format
  3. Feedback Loop: Interview Prep (iOS) — to prepare for job interviews (AI product management)
  4. Giggle Ohms — Resisting Boredom (iOS/Android) — AI-generated jokes for hardware engineers

You can check them out in the App Store, and I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Stay tuned for weekly updates, product releases, and lessons learned along the way!

    Can a new app really be launched in one week? That fast?

    1. 1

      It's hard for sure, but possible. For now I'm focused on building only MVPs with limited features.

  2. 1

    Have you considered exploring paid apps as part of your strategy?

    I'm curious about your plans for making this a profitable business.

    Long-term sustainability is crucial, and I'm sure you've got some great ideas in mind!

      I do hope that I'll be able to make money eventually. So far I don't have any paid users, planning to test new strategies
