Hey everyone,

I’m 16 years old and today I finally submitted my first app for review on the App Store.

The app is called Athlen.

It lets you scan supermarket products and get personalized feedback based on your own goals like muscle gain, fat loss, allergies, sports performance, and nutrition preferences.

You can think of it a bit like Yuka, but more personalized — instead of just giving general health scores, it adapts recommendations to your specific goals and profile.

Building this has been a long journey from idea to actual App Store submission, and honestly I’m both nervous and excited right now.

Now it’s just waiting for Apple’s review 🙃

Would love to hear if anyone else here launched their first app at a young age and how it went for you.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with the affiliate/referral program of Cal AI (the calorie tracking mobile app). I’ve been looking all over the internet but there’s barely any information about it.

Mainly I’m wondering:

• Do they actually pay out affiliates reliably?
• How do payouts work?
• When do payouts happen (weekly/monthly/manual)?
• What payment methods do they use?
• Is there a minimum payout threshold?
• Has anyone here personally received money from them?

Would really appreciate any experiences, screenshots, or general feedback because I genuinely can’t find much info online about it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone—you might have heard of Cal AI, a calorie-counting app. They actually have an affiliate program, but there are absolutely no details regarding when payouts are issued—or even if they happen at all. I just wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with it, or if not. I’d be super grateful for any feedback!

Hi, I’ve been thinking about joining the affiliate program for the calorie-counting app Cal AI, but I can't find any information regarding things like how payouts work, etc. So, I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with it.

I’ve been working on something for converd.app and I’m curious if people actually want this.

The idea is simple:

Most websites lose 90–95% of visitors.

People land on your page, look around for a few seconds… and leave without doing anything.

So instead of hoping they figure things out alone, I’m testing a chatbot that:

• Greets visitors at the right moment
• Understands what they’re looking for
• Guides them to the right page or action
• Helps turn passive traffic into actual signups/customers

Not a generic “support bot” — more like a conversion-focused assistant built into the website.

What I noticed so far:

• People engage more when they’re guided instead of left alone
• Questions get answered instantly instead of users dropping off
• Even small interactions seem to increase signup intent

But I’m still not sure:

Would you actually trust a chatbot like this on your website?
Or would it feel annoying / intrusive?

Trying to figure out if this is something founders would actually want — or just another “cool idea” that doesn’t matter in real use.

When I first launched converd.app, I tried to make it look “premium” from day one.

My setup was:

• $49/month
• Free trial with credit card required
• Lots of restrictions before users could even test the product

I thought this would attract more serious customers.

Instead, almost nobody converted.

People clicked the website, looked around for a few seconds, and left.

After a while I got frustrated and basically stopped promoting the project for nearly 2 months because I assumed the idea itself just wasn’t good enough.

But recently I decided to try one more time — with a completely different strategy.

I changed:

• Pricing from $49 → $9
• Removed the credit card requirement
• Added a real 14-day free trial
• Focused more on getting users to actually experience the product first

And honestly, the difference was immediate.

More signups.
More people actually using the product.
More feedback.
More returning users.

It made me realize something important:

Early-stage founders often try to optimize for revenue too early instead of optimizing for trust and momentum.

Nobody wants to risk $49 + a credit card on a product they discovered 30 seconds ago on Reddit or Twitter.

I’m still learning every day, but this shift completely changed how I think about SaaS marketing and onboarding.

Sometimes your product doesn’t need a rebuild.
Sometimes you just need less friction.

This is what I’m doing differently now 👇

Back then, my onboarding looked like this:

• Free trial
• Credit card required
• $49/month pricing

And honestly… people just left.

So I changed everything for converd.app:

• 14-day free trial
• No credit card required
• Pricing changed from $49 → $9

The result?
Way more people are actually trying the product now instead of bouncing on the pricing page.

I realized I was optimizing for “high-value users” before even getting users.

Sometimes the problem isn’t your product.
It’s just too much friction too early.

Still early, still learning — but this already feels 10x better.

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about building something called “LinkMRR” and wanted to get some feedback on the idea before actually launching it.

The concept is simple: help SaaS founders see exactly which Reddit posts, LinkedIn posts, X posts, or other social posts are actually generating revenue.

It would track things like:

• visitors (new + returning)
• signups
• trial starts
• paid conversions
• MRR/revenue

So instead of guessing which post worked, you could actually see which content makes money.

I’m considering a 2-week free trial and then something like $9/month.

Would this be useful to you, or is it not really a problem worth solving?
Would love honest feedback on the idea before I spend time building it 🙏

Hi there! I'm currently building something called LinkMRR. It's a tool designed to show you—as a SaaS founder—exactly which Reddit posts, LinkedIn posts, or other social media posts are generating revenue for you. It tracks website visitors (both new and returning), sign-ups, trial starts, and revenue/MRR. Would you find this interesting, or is it something you'd pass on? I'm considering offering a 2-week free trial, followed by a monthly fee of $9. I’d really appreciate your honest feedback!
