Hey Reader 👋 Here’s a number that caught my attention: 225 million. That’s how many Fire TV devices are out there globally. Until recently, building for them meant learning a whole new stack. Not anymore. Amazon just released Vega OS - their new OS for Fire TV that lets you ship apps with React Native. Same stack we already use every day. So I spent the last few weeks building a full Podcast app on it. Today, the tutorial drops on YouTube. You’ll learn:

I built it for the Shipyard hackathon. Shipyard is a hackathon organized by RevenueCat where they partnered with 7 creators. Each creator suggested an app idea. I picked one that's...
Yesterday I hit "Go Live" on YouTube and announced something that terrifies me. The 10K MRR Challenge. The idea is simple: build a portfolio of mobile apps, grow it to $10K monthly recurring revenue, and document the entire journey live. The good, the bad, and the shitty parts. Here's the thing - this didn't come from some random burst of motivation. It came from necessity. Let me give you some real numbers. In 2024, YouTube paid me over $100K from AdSense alone. There were times when a...
