I Spent $4,800 Building a Shopify App With Claude AI. I've Made $0.

Описание: I spent $4,800 building a Shopify app with Claude AI. After 7 months on the App Store, I haven't pocketed a single dollar — but the curve just turned.

This is the full founder story: from a $7/month Shopify section that sold to ONE person, to a piracy-proof API I built from scratch with Claude, to V1 with my hired dev, to V2 with the Studio "better than Linktree for artists" pitch, to the reviews bottleneck nobody warns you about, to last month's 52% growth.

Real numbers. Real timeline. Everything I'd do differently if I started today.
