“6 months ago, he had never built an app. Today: ~$14K/month. Solo.”
Editor's note: The figures in the post do not reconcile on their face (1,000 subs on a $24.99/year plan is roughly $25K/year). Treat the monthly figure as an unverified claim until a payment-provider link is available.

Steps to try
