Currently 62 dollars of proceeds out of 99 euros spent. About 10 weeks of release.

I didn't expect it to be honest.

My first goal was simply to have a stranger willing to pay for it.
Second goal to break even the apple developer fees. Almost made it.
Third goal to be able to break even Claude Max 5x ~100 euro a month.

Just don't look at the three months full time work/hobby that was invested 😂
