Yaaay 😇 it did reach Ania … X is special sometimes 🙌
The founder of Rootd saw it, reposted it, and liked a few of my posts.
This is why I love writing about indie apps.
One real founder story can travel further than any generic growth thread.
Most indie apps start with a feature idea.
Rootd started with a panic attack.
Ania Wysocka had her first panic attack while away from home.
She opened her phone looking for help.
Nothing felt simple.
Nothing felt human.
So she built Rootd.
A panic attack relief app.
She wasn’t a coder.
No VC funding.
No employees.
Just a deeply personal problem turned into a product.
Today, Rootd has helped 2M people and reached 7-figure recurring revenue.
Some apps don’t start with a market gap.
They start with one terrifying moment the founder never forgot.
