Claude Code just found proof that the tiny apps making real money online are hiding in plain sight. an email app for mac. a collector-car price checker. a form builder. they're making up to $14,201 a month and almost none of them tell you where their customers come from. i have the data to prove it. i've suspected this for months but last week something happened that made me finally check. my friend spent 5 months building an app ChatGPT called "a million-dollar idea." launch day he opened Stripe next to me and the whole dashboard was zeros.
