Day 52 | Vibe Coding iOS Apps Until I reach $10k MRR | Current MRR : $1400

Detailed Summary

Introduction and Daily Goals (0:00 - 3:19)

The creator begins the stream, noting it's been a tiring day with five hours of work already completed. He sets two main tasks for the session: finding good keywords for a new app on Astro and designing a paywall for an AI transition app. He decides to focus primarily on design, having done significant development earlier.

Teleprompter App Origin Story (3:19 - 8:56)

• The creator recounts a personal struggle to find a good teleprompter app for recording videos, as existing options were either expensive ($100/year) or lacked essential features like remote control.
• He decided to build his own web-based teleprompter, teleprompterfree.com, which allows users to input scripts, control playback remotely via a separate URL, and adjust speed.
• He expresses pride in building the app in just four hours and plans to develop an iOS version, aiming to offer it for free initially with potential pro features later, given the high prices of current market offerings.

Keyword Research for the Teleprompter App (8:56 - 23:55)

• The creator begins researching keywords for the iOS teleprompter app using Astro, analyzing competitor apps and their strategies.
• He identifies several potential keywords, including "video teleprompter," "mirror text," "script for video," "read script," "video prompter," and "script reader."
• He notes that some apps, like "teleprompter video" (released in 2025), have quickly gained ratings, indicating market potential.
• After analyzing difficulty and popularity, he narrows down primary keywords to "script reader" (low difficulty, good popularity, untargeted by top apps), "video teleprompter" (high search, but with older, un-updated competitors), and "teleprompter for video" (high popularity with some recent successful apps).

App Icon Design Process (23:55 - 38:00)

• The creator starts brainstorming app icon ideas, looking at examples on Pinterest and Dribbble.
• He uses Figma to create a mockup, aiming for a premium look with a blue-to-purple linear gradient and a golden triangle element.
• He seeks feedback from the chat on the initial design.
• He then uses ChatGPT to refine the icon, asking it to improve the design.

AI Tool Challenges and Community Interaction (38:00 - 56:19)

• The creator attempts to use ChatGPT to remove the background and create a transparent PNG of the icon, but encounters difficulties with the AI's precision and understanding of the request.
• He tries different prompts and even switches to Gemini, but both AI tools struggle with the specific image manipulation tasks, leading to frustration.
• During this, he engages with chat participants, discussing gaming preferences (Mac vs. Windows for gaming), and celebrating a user's success in getting a job offer through content creation on X, inspired by the creator's advice.
• He also addresses a question about "Trust Mr.," explaining it's a Mark Luine app for tracking Stripe data, and mentions a 10-year-old user, Shan, who is a top earner on the platform.

Marketing Strategy and Conclusion (56:19 - 1:00:50)

• The creator outlines his marketing strategy for the teleprompter app and his goal of reaching $10k MRR.
• He aims to achieve this within six months, or a year at most, through a combination of keyword research (ASO), paid marketing, influencer collaborations, and social media content creation.
• He acknowledges the saturated market but believes in the potential of a well-optimized app.
• The stream concludes with the creator ending the session due to audio quality issues with his AirPods, wishing everyone a happy weekend, and promising to continue building tomorrow.
