He doesn’t say it’s per year, does he?

Good catch -- you are correct, I assumed its ARR but it very well could be total revenue. Either way, it's impressive for building something that already exists and has 0 moat or differentiation.

Goes to show that there is always someone in the market that wants to pay for anything, even if it's a grift.

Also, it shows that the "silicon valley advice" of needing a "moat," and "defensibility" is not always a good way to think.

I'm seeing so many bootstrapped solopreneurs making insane amounts of money with tools that are so simple, and have zero moat or differentiation.

Also, I'm noticing that focusing on a niche and dominating a marketing channel to that niche is more important than product.

Let's take todo list apps for example. As a developer, the idea of building a todo list app feels dumb. Why would any one need yet another todo app?

But... imagine if there is a niche, like wedding planners, who have a specific workflow that isn't properly address by existing todo list apps...

... and you build the best UI for wedding planners to manage their todo list

... and you partner with some tiktok influencer to promote your app to wedding planners.

You might just make a million bucks by literally making "yet another" todo app.
