Huge credit to App Launchpad. It was literally the product that inspired me to build LaunchShots. They have an incredible collection of templates — probably the biggest in the space — and it’s honestly hard to compete with that as a solo dev. That’s actually why I leaned into community templates instead. Respect where it’s due. They built something great.
Payments are usually painful, especially if you’re a solo dev in India. Stripe isn’t an easy option here, and setting up payment processing like RazorPay can feel like wrestling with bureaucracy. Dodo Payments made that entire journey ridiculously simple. Their MoR setup, indie-friendly pricing, and great developer experience made it an easy choice. Super grateful for tools like this that actually understand indie builders.
Google Antigravity deserves a massive shoutout. I’ve been an AI-accelerated developer since GitHub Copilot launched, but this… this feels like another level. It just gets what I’m trying to build. The speed, the quality, the intuition — I genuinely haven’t had a better experience anywhere else. Without Antigravity, LaunchShots wouldn’t have shipped this fast.
