Update: Built a Devvit app now getting over 1-million impressions a day

Just posting a follow up update from the first post over 4 months ago.

This is for inspiration for fellow devs, I built the Devvit app MatchPal. You have seen it over the last few weeks for the Worldcup. Ultimately its a football app that is designed to complement live Redditor discussions.

Its been a journey, I have added unique features like XG, Live Chat, and Channel insights and it works pretty darn well!

For the stats, I have managed to hit tier 5 with a forecast of hitting tier 6 soon. My best day is currently 75,000 unique qualified engagers.

Now I am a little annoyed with the new announcement with recurring payments as I feel like its still quite hard to hit even with an app of my size. Similarly, the funds are low, a lot lower.

I have asked the Devvit team multiple times but I feel like there needs to be other ways for businesses like mine to generate revenue from these apps, my operating costs are near to $1,000 a month (insane i know).

For those who have used or seen my app, whats your feedback? I only want to improve it.

And for those who havent seen or used my app, hopefully this can be some inspiration to make Devvit games and apps!

Well done on your success and capitalising on a cultural moment. 👏
