Vaultaire made $26,384 in July 2026. My other projects are currently free, so this is it. Got bunch in pipeline but struggling to push it out.

Palmer Luckey warns America cannot compete with China’s population advantage forever through innovation alone: “We need 1 BILLION Americans minimum. Probably more like 2 or 3 billion.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳 “Yes, we need to get our act together. We need to do better at manufacturing, at defense, all these things. But everything is just biting around the margins if we’re 350 million people and they’re 2 billion people who are roughly the same. How exceptional do we have to be to achieve a 10-to-1 ratio forever, in perpetuity? It’s not practical. It’s not logical. I would say it’s even possibly a racist thing to believe that we can be so much better than China and the Chinese people that we’ll just beat them with a tiny fraction of the population. We need to do better with what we’ve got. But we also just need a lot more people. We need 1 billion Americans minimum, probably more like 2 or 3 billion, with better demographics and better natural resources. The Dutch once had the most powerful navy in the world. They didn’t lose that position because they fell behind on factories or shipbuilding. They became economically irrelevant.” Both countries are competing with respect to declining birth rates. Both nations must be more willing to have children and expand the population growth exponentially over the next decade. The current economic path is unsustainable if our labor force begins to shrink even with artificial intelligence on the rise.

Also built a complete AI watermark removal on device, including SynthID, pixel, etc. This is the most popular tool on vaultaire.app and I decided to turn it into a standalone app.

Added long requested functionality to @vaultaire_app allowing users to delete photos they just added to the app on confirm. Apple is claiming that it’s a “decoy functionality to hide user’s photos”. Are these reviewers out of their minds?

This guy has 1,006 active apps on the app store😭 bro is the AI slop final boss

Built a much better duplicate and similarity matching algorithm for pictures running solely on Apple’s NPU. The whole thing is quite fast on my iPhone Air even having to scan through iCloud only photos.

This guy Rasty who built his first iOS app in roughly three weeks with coding agents says: he went from $66 in its first month to $2,000-$3,000 a day... "The first month it made $66. I got a couple of downloads. It's currently averaging around $2,000 to $3,000 a day." "Honestly, the majority of my purchases are for lifetime. I will say a good 60% at this point. They also account for the majority of the revenue, north of 80%, I think."

I didn’t realize this was published already Shared what I knew about building @vaultaire_app indiehackers.com/post/tech/h…
