I run an iOS app on the side thats at ~$2500 MRR. It lets you generate music playlists from a prompt, like "make me a playlist for music to listen to while coding". I launched in January and it took 2 weeks to get the first $2k in revenue.

How did you market the app? Or did people just find it in the App Store?


Twitter mostly - https://twitter.com/brettunhandled/status/161317951121827840...

It was also picked up by FastCompany, TechCrunch, some others, which has helped people continue to find it


Is the business model in-app purchases? For what do the users pay?


PlaylistAI: https://playlistai.app/

DALL-E/ChatGPT for music playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.

Enter a prompt like "chill electronic coding music" or upload a photo of a music festival lineup and it'll make a playlist


The link I shared goes to the App Store, but there's a demo video in my Tweet thread here - https://twitter.com/brettunhandled/status/156426863694818099...


Yeah that could happen. I'm a Spotify user so I did that first. I took a quick look when starting and the Discover feature wouldn't work with Apple Music (playlists are private without an api to make them public), but the creating the playlist should be possible



My roommates and I made this site while applying for software engineering internships. It gives you direct links to company applications.

It currently has over 100 live links and that number will grow as it gets closer to summer.


Definitely. Companies already on the list will be updated when their applications become available and new companies will be added as well.

It is still fairly early in the summer 2017 internship season, so new applications should be coming soon.
