I've managed to build up a large audience on Twitter and LinkedIn, let's say, and maybe a few other places. I feel like I can get the word out. And I feel like if it's any good, other people will then get the word out. So my interest is not in how do I market this? It's how do I make this really good that it will market itself as best it can? Not everything can do that.
Some things spike and then die, you know, so you have to have some sort of something that's going to carry it over the longterm.

It's like pure gaming in a sense. It's like pushing every gaming lever button switch you could. And I'm sure you could do that. The shower door thing is more like maybe a very niche, super niche thing.

Um, I know with, with test flight, I think you can of course limit the number of downloads or however that works, but I don't think you can do that with the app store in general.
