“My recent app cnvs has done $5.7k in 5 days and was made primarily with design looping.”

Max Blade (founder) on X, Jun 16, 2026

Editor's note: Max Blade is an experienced builder who says he had made over $100K shipping projects with AI before CNVS. He describes his "design loop" in the same post: Codex and GPT image generation for the mockup, then Claude Code iterating until the result matches. He also says he live-streams himself "building cnvs with CNVS", the agent environment itself, which runs Claude Code, Codex and Cursor's agent. The app is written in Swift. Sales peaked in the launch month and have fallen every month since; the figure above is the total to date, not a monthly rate. The quote is from his X post of Jun 16, 2026.

How they got customers

Building in public on X, where he has about 24.8K followers, with daily revenue and feature posts, and by live-streaming himself building CNVS on X and YouTube for four to eight hours a day. He also posts tutorials on his AI coding workflow that end with the app.

Steps to try

  1. Build the tool you use every day; he made the environment he wanted for running many AI agents at once.

  2. Use a design loop: mock up with image generation, hand the mockup to Claude Code, then screenshot, compare and iterate.

    From the source
  3. Live-stream the build daily so the launch already has an audience watching.

    From the source
  4. Sell it once instead of by subscription; he says people are burnt out on subscriptions and the app has no recurring costs.

  5. Plan for what comes after the launch spike: one-time sales fell from $23.7K in June to about $3.8K a month by September.
