    "It's important to remember that achieving a goal requires consistency and perseverance. It's easy to get discouraged or feel overwhelmed, but the key is to keep going. Break your goal down into smaller, manageable tasks and focus on one step at a time. With each small victory, you'll build momentum and confidence, and before you know it, you'll be well on your way to achieving your goal."

    Well done Denis. We need more stories like these from IHers for IHers.

    Are you planning to expand the same to AWS and GCP? Or you love niching down and stay with Azure?

    1. 3

      Thank you. New app for AWS is close to release. Afterwards, I want to develop desktop versions of those apps.

      1. 2

        Wow, amazing to hear that!! Keeping the momentum is one of the most important things.

    Did you use Xamarin forms or maui to build the apps? Never mind. Answered in interview!

  6. 1

    Great work ! I used this app to prepare for some exams. Thank you for sharing

      Thanks for using the app.

    Well, that is a pretty good result, congrats!
    But the title is a click bite because it definitely took much more than 4 months to get this result.

    1. 3

      To clarify, monetization was added to the app four months ago. Before that, the app was a free hobby project that I worked on sporadically.

      Most users who were using the free version of the app did not convert to the paid version. Therefore, the title is accurate. To boost sales, I focused on branding, improving the app's position in app store search results, my own promotional efforts, and the development of a new set of paid features to monetize the app.

      1. 1

        Well, to me it's not the same and I still consider the title misleading. Even if you start monetization later, you used all the experience, feedback, reviews, and whatever you had. It's like "I made millions overnight" not saying that several years of hard work preceded that night.

        1. 2

          Every title on FounderBeats looks like this. Topic starter copy-paste it from there.

          Instead of nitpicking over minor details, it's important to focus on extracting valuable insights from the author's experiences. Adopting a narrow mindset that fixates on trivialities can hinder our ability to learn from the author's perspective.

          1. 1

            Why go in so hard on the title? It's not misleading. Talk about focusing on the wrong things !
