As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models. Here’s what this means for you: Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error. On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models. We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

TranslateScan weekly update β„–5 The first week of summer brought a tiny profit again! Spent on Google Ads: 9.4 usd API costs: 4.2 usd Revenue: 23.5 usd Profit: 9 usd ROI: 73% (including API costs) In the last 5 weeks ROI went -94% -> -79% -> -76% -> 34% -> 73% The distribution stays the β„–1 challenge. Google ads is so aggressively optimized that it has difficulties finding the clicks we need. With the budget of 100 eur / day it spends 5 eur at most. So this week we continue working on SEO and mobile apps. Hopefully, soon we will launch on both app store and google play.
translatescan.com weekly update β„–4 Good news! This week we made a tiny profit! Spent on Google Ads: 22 usd API costs: 5.65 usd Revenue: 37 usd Profit: 9 usd ROI: 34% (including API costs) In the last 4 weeks ROI went -94% -> -79% -> -76% -> 34% Marketing is still a challenge but in a different way. We optimized the google ads campaign so aggressively that Google Ads is not able to find enough clicks for the daily budget. With the daily budget of 65 eur Google spends no more than just 5 eur per day. So for the last week we've been working on the mobile app version and SEO. I'll continue publishing updates if you follow and like - this way I'll know somebody is interested .

In 2018, Among Us launched to just 30 players. By late 2019, the team felt so defeated by the lack of traction that they officially stopped updating it to work on other projects. Then 2020 happened. Under pandemic lockdowns, streamers found the game and it went viral. Most "overnight successes" are born from years of quiet struggle, exhausting pivots, and pushing through when you desperately want to quit. Keep goingπŸš€

If you're building a product, this isn't just an analysis - it's your growth roadmap! Incredible breakdown
I analyzed 149 founder interviews from @starter_story to find the meta-advice. How they found the idea, validated it, built it, and the exact channels that grew it - all in one table a summary of what keeps coming up makerplaybooks.com

translatescan.com weekly update #3 Spent on Google Ads: 83 usd Income: 28.27 usd ROI: -76% (including api costs), 3% better than the last week We spent much less on google ads than the last week because we optimized the campaign. On average we spent 18.22 usd per payment action. But it's less than 10 usd on a good day. To make profit we need less than 2 usd per payment action in google search. Claude says it's very unlikely we hit that. So we will focus on other distribution methods.
