I just discovered a competitor app with worse ux that's climbing the ranks of the store

the key of their success? went viral on tiktok 2 days ago with a post that hit almost a million views

code is really worthless by itself, isn't it?

level headed take, but with 70k downloads I'm sure they'll gather enough data to figure something out?

Won’t matter the stardom if they churn every user. At worst it validates some market thesis.

my app:

the app going viral:

I'm actually considering changing the keywords, features are similar but I'm leaning hard on the color angle

No way, I actually saw this I think. I’ll have to try yours.

What’s your app and who is your competitor?

fair enough, that's on the product, but a nice problem to hack anyways

Yes but sustainability can’t be hacked with tik tok

everything i write here is financial advice

disagree, but I do think hard work improves your odds

well code + hardware to run it on i guess

code is valuable by itself in domains that dont require selling to customers like MEV

I think that's with everything.  1/2 the battle is marketing. Sometimes even more. If a creator is just trying to make a quick buck all he needs is just a good/viral marketing.  If a creator want to create something long term, well made and sustainable, he would need both a good product and marketing.
