Flipboard’s new app, now with 100M monthly users 👀

Flipboard first launched in 2010 as one of the first “gorgeous” mobile experiences on the iPhone. It came out with a boom and everyone in tech downloaded it. 6+ years later, these same people ask, “Who still uses Flipboard?”

Answer: 100 million people every month.

Flipboard is one of the largest social networks yet it’s rarely part of the conversation in tech… except for today. CEO, Mike McCue, just introduced the fourth generation of the curation platform, now with Smart Magazines and Video. Check it out. 👀

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
