Hey PH! The influencer marketing industry is broken. Brands pay for reach and get bots. Creators with 2,000 highly engaged followers get ignored in favour of people with millions. Rippl flips the model. Small, trusted communities. Real engagement. Pay for performance. If you're a brand or a creator, I'd love to know what's been your biggest frustration with marketing tools 👇 📲 Free on the App...

Hey PH! Most people have no idea how exposed their phone actually is — until they get hacked. ARK makes mobile security visible. You get a score, you see what's dragging it down, and you fix it. Built for people who aren't security experts but care about what's on their device. No jargon. Just a number and clear steps to improve it. What would you want your phone security score to check first?...
ARK by MRVLYour mobile security credit score. Know your risk.
ARK gives your phone a real-time security score — scanning for vulnerabilities, data breaches, phishing links, and exposed Wi-Fi. Like a credit score, but for your device's safety. One tap to see where you're exposed.

@rianbrob Thanks so much — honestly the first 6 months were chaos in the best way 😅 You learn more shipping 20 products than reading 20 books about it. The distribution piece is still the hardest part — building is the fun bit, getting people to actually find it is the real game. The Sponge sounds genuinely useful — the browser extension angle is smart, turning passive reading into active...

Hey PH! Paper business cards get lost. QR codes don't get scanned. TapTrust is the version of both that actually works. Tap your card to someone's phone — they see your full profile, leave a verified review, and get added to your leads automatically. No app required on their end. Works on any NFC-enabled phone. How do you currently share your contact details at networking events? 👇

Hey PH! I built Hawk after a friend got into an accident with no footage to prove what happened. Every car dashcam I looked at was expensive, ugly, or both — and the iPhone in their pocket could do the job better than any of them.

TapTrust replaces paper business cards with an NFC smart profile — tap any phone to share your contact, collect verified reviews, and capture leads automatically. One card. Every meeting.

Hawk turns your iPhone into a professional dashcam — loop recording, incident detection, and automatic iCloud backup. Rideshare mode captures both road and cabin simultaneously. Evidence-grade footage, always ready when you need it.

About 6 month ago I started MRVL Technologies with one goal: build a portfolio of genuinely useful apps without a team, without VC, and without burning out. 6 months later I have 20+ live apps across iOS and Android — everything from a teleprompter for creators (Promptr) to a church management platform (Ekklesia) to an NFC-powered review tool (TapTrust). Here's what I've learned: What worked: -...
