Cockroach Janta Party twitter is witheld in India. Instagram soon?
You may disagree with Cockroach Janta Party politically, but suppressing voices without any clear violation of law, anti-national activity, or insults against the country sets a dangerous precedent.
Democracy should counter opinions with debate, not silence.
Mohammed Zaher, the auto driver was done for the day and going towards him home.
On this rear mirror, he saw what the theif is doing..
Snatching the gold chain..
He had just few moments here.. either keep going towards home or stop the theif.
He had made up his mind in a split second.
He crashed right into the theif, and blocked his way.
Hyderabad police has awarded Mohammed Zaher, for being the good samaritan.
almost quit youtube last year. tried vlogs, face cam, all of it. 6 months in i had 340 subs. brutal.
then i noticed half the channels i watch at night are just faceless screen recordings. dude shows his screen, talks over it. that's it.
ran the math. sharing it.
the model
pick a tool you already use. notion. excel. chatgpt. doesn't matter. make tutorial videos for it. "how to do X in Y."
why volume
most beginners make 1 video a week. slowest path possible.
what works: 2-3 short tutorials a day. 4-7 min each. month one you have 50+ videos.
50 videos at 800 avg lifetime views = 40k views. tutorial RPM is $8-14. that's $300-560/mo from ads, and it compounds because tutorials rank for years.
add 1 affiliate link and it's $1k+/mo within 90 days.
channels doing this
nothing they're doing you can't do this week.
workflow
editing is what kills people. clicks need zooms, cursor is tiny, dead air. takes hours.
how i do it in ~20 min/video:
no premiere. no davinci.
the unsexy part
2-3 videos a day sounds nuts. it's not. each one is 5 min recording + 15 min upload. couple hours total.
works in 2026 because of search intent. vlogs die in 2 days. tutorials live for 3 years.
if you're 6 months in with 50 subs, it's not your videos. it's the format.
today we're LIVE on Product Hunt
Quick context: Screen Bolt is a Mac screen recorder. Think Screen Studio but way cheaper and honestly packed with more stuff. Auto-zoom, buttery cursor movement, keystroke overlays, multi-monitor support, the works.
The best part? One-time payment. Lifetime updates. No "pay every year" nonsense. Built it for indie hackers, YouTubers, course creators, basically anyone who's tired of bland screen recordings.
Would genuinely mean the world if you could smash an upvote real quick 🙏 https://www.producthunt.com/products/screen-bolt
I open Screen Studio twice a month. They bill me twelve times a year. Math wasn't mathing. So six months ago I cancelled and started building.
Solo dev, "Bolt" brand of small Mac apps. All pay-once, lifetime updates, zero subscriptions ever. Just shipped Screen Bolt and this sub is the one I most want to grill it before more people see it.
Posted in a couple of other subs and the same question kept coming up: how is this different from the other Mac recorders? Quick honest map:
Screen Bolt sits in the middle. The bet: most people don't need another recorder or another AI pile, they need the recording to come out already polished without an hour in iMovie.
What's in it:
Native Swift, ~20 MB. ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, VideoToolbox, Metal end-to-end. macOS 14+. Signed, notarized, Apple privacy manifest declares zero tracking.
$39 one-time. Lifetime updates. Going to $49 then $79. Free tier with watermark + 720p + 3-min cap if you want to kick the tires.

Want feedback more than sales right now. Tear it apart. I'm in the comments.
Solo dev from India. I build small Mac apps for a living. All pay-once, lifetime updates, zero subscriptions ever. I'm allergic to them as a buyer and figured most people are too.
Six months back I went looking for a screen recorder for some product demos. Landed on Screen Studio's pricing page, sat there for a good ten minutes, and just couldn't pull the trigger. Great app, no shade at all.
But I knew I'd open it maybe twice a month and the recurring math didn't sit right with me. Tried every other recorder I could find. Each one either looked like it was built in 2014 or wanted its own monthly fee on top. Closed all the tabs and figured fine, I'll just build it myself.
Where the $5k went:
$2k on a new MacBook M5. My old machine was wheezing on renders. $3k to a developer to help me get it across the line faster than I could solo.
Tiny by SaaS standards. Real money out of an indie's pocket.
The whole bet of this thing: when you hit stop, the video is already edited. You click a button, the camera pushes in on it. Move to the next thing, it pushes in there. You stop, you export, you're done. No iMovie. No hour spent manually zooming on every click so people can actually tell what the hell you tapped. Teleprompter, privacy blur, device frames, voice cleanup, all baked in.
Launched two days ago at $39 lifetime. 10 sales. $390 back. Obviously not pretending that's a "moment."
Here's what actually surprised me though. Almost every single buyer replied to the receipt email, unprompted, with the same sentence in slightly different words: "I was tired of paying Screen Studio every month and just wanted to own the damn thing." I didn't write that pitch. They did. It just keeps coming back at me.
Distribution
Distribution since people always ask. Zero ads. Emailed my own customer list (people who've already bought my other pay-once apps trust the model so the lift is small).
Posting in communities where the right people actually hang out. Founders, indie hackers, course creators, Mac power users. This sub being one of them, hi. Replying to every comment, DM, and email myself. Doesn't scale. Doing it while I can.
If you want to see what the auto cursor zoom actually looks like, that's the one feature where the demo sells way harder than I can in writing. Site is screenbolt.co. $39 lifetime right now, going to $49, then $79 once the next batch of features lands.
Way more interested in feedback than sales at this stage. Tear it apart.
