A bootstrapped trader app that outgrew its no-code platform and owns its stack.
BEYONDtrading's trader journal migrated from a Bubble.io rental to a native iOS + Android app in under three weeks — same store listings, same users, zero downtime, zero ongoing platform rent.
Release pipeline is automated end-to-end: Claude + Expo generate store screenshots, App Store Connect + Google Play APIs handle upload and submission. For iOS, Carey's entire release-day job is picking the build and clicking Submit. Google Play is fully hands-off.
Launches in under 500ms where Bubble took 3–4 seconds; closed trades sync to the timeline in real time instead of on a polling delay.
Kept the original bundle ID, App Store listing, Google Play listing, reviews, and user sessions — the migration was invisible to existing users.
No more Bubble workflow bill. Releases ship through BEYONDtrading's own Apple + Google accounts. The distribution is theirs.
Turning an Instagram audience into owned affiliate revenue.
Dina's @thepolishedbrunette Instagram audience now lands on her own editorial home at thepolishedbrunette.com — where every recommendation stays on her brand and every affiliate link compounds into revenue she owns.
Canonical /dp/<ASIN> product pages keep Dina's audience on her site during the decision phase — not sent straight to Amazon where her brand disappears.
Every outbound link routes through one helper that adds Dina's Amazon associate tag, UTM params, and a visible sponsorship disclosure — affiliate infrastructure that scales with every new partner.
The Tasteful Editor voice codified in a persona doc first — now the system prompt every content agent writes against, so the brand voice survives scale automatically.
Turning a YouTube audience into a recurring-income membership.
Jen's YouTube channel brings people to Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len's teachings. Honomantra is the home where those viewers become her members — three tiers, recurring subscriptions, and a direct line to her community that she owns.
MembershipRecurring revenueOwned audience
✓ Live at honomantra.com — viewers becoming paying members, income Jen owns.
Inside the build
Converts viewers from youtube.com/@hooponoponomantra into known, paying members — Jen's audience is hers, not a platform's.
Three membership tiers — Mua (free), Hoʻomau, Hoʻōla — create a revenue ladder: a free on-ramp that compounds into monthly subscriptions, all on her own domain, all paid through her own Stripe account.
Jen edits guides, publishes new teachings, and serves her community without touching code, infrastructure, or a third-party funnel. The teaching she was giving away on YouTube now compounds into a business she owns.

Turning three decades of authority into a positioning site that filters the right clients in.
Sophia's positioning home, live at sophiastavron.com — an Emmy, a #1 bestseller with Jack Canfield, three decades of work, stacked on one scroll. Every inquiry routes straight to her, tagged by which of her four offers the visitor is actually ready for: Living Philotimo (flagship program), 1:1 mentorship, keynote speaking, or private masterminds.
PositioningSelective inquiry flowOwned authority
✓ Live at sophiastavron.com. Legacy WordPress replaced; inquiries land in Sophia's inbox already sorted by offer.
Inside the build
Four offers stacked cleanly on one home — Living Philotimo (flagship signature program), 1:1 mentorship, keynote speaking, and private masterminds — each surfaced to the fit that matches where the visitor is.
Selective-by-design framing: an explicit "we're a fit when / may not be the right fit if" section filters prospects before they type a word, so the wrong-fit inquiries self-select out.
Every inquiry routes directly to Sophia with a 48-hour reply — no assistant queue, no CRM middleman. The form's interest categories (program, 1:1, keynote, mastermind) tag each message at the source, so her inbox opens already sorted.
Living Philotimo is the brand throughline, not the product — the ancient Greek virtue of honor, love, and selfless excellence carries the voice across every page, while Sophia's name is the surface her prospects land on.
A product of Stacey deBach · Elite Mobile Bar Service
A decade-plus bartender steps out on her own — her brand, her business, her name on the bar.
Stacey spent over a decade pouring the drinks that made other businesses their margin. Shaken, Not Stirred is the first bar that's hers — a dry-hire mobile bar for Tahoe and Reno weddings and events, with an owned site built around her real brand so hosts can find her, understand exactly what she does, and book her directly.
Mobile barNew-business launchOwned brand
✓ Live at ShakenNotStirredMobileBar.com for the 2026 Tahoe wedding season — past clients already waiting to book.
Inside the build
From a Friday-afternoon discovery call to a deployable, brand-faithful prototype the same evening — three directions built on Stacey's own business-card palette (ocean teal, warm cream, hand-illustrated cocktails), not a template.
Everything a host needs to say yes without an email thread: the dry-hire model explained up front, Stacey's bio and face, transparent package tiers, an eight-question FAQ, and a mobile-first inquiry form one tap away.
Stacey owns the brand, the domain, the customer relationships, and the code from day one. The App Chicks runs the plumbing; she owns the business she's been ready to run for years.
Turning one-time event attendees into recurring members.
Craig Duswalt's speaker business at craigduswalt.com now has a branded mobile app that runs ticketing, check-in, a three-tier membership ladder, and the between-events relationship — one app, one brand, his Kartra account.
Membership ladderEvent revenueOwned channel
✓ Building now. Target: Sept + Oct 2026 events.
Inside the build
Three-tier membership ladder — Entry, Gold, Platinum — enforced server-side so a $297 VIP ticket never stalls at a manual handoff between tools.
Event registration, QR check-in, stage-side 'you're on deck' notifications, and a refundable deposit system all inside Craig's brand — not a generic white-label ticketing page.
An admin console his assistant actually runs — broadcasts, member lookup, event dashboard — no dev tickets to send a push.
Turning a sword swallower's TEDx audience into a movement people actually live.
Dan Meyer — sword swallower, three-time TEDx speaker, multiple Guinness World Record holder — has been collecting *Thromes* (major life goals; thriving on hopes and dreams) for forty years. **Thromes** is the mobile + web home where his audience captures their own, tracks the journey, and shares the dopamine of a quest finished.
Mobile + webAudience-led productOwned community
✓ Building now. Marketing site live at thromes.com; native apps + member dashboard in development. Book pre-order coming.
Inside the build
Dan's TEDx talks ("Cutting through fear") and four decades of speaking already convert audiences emotionally on stage — Thromes is where that emotion converts into a sustained relationship he owns between events.
T.H.R.O.M.E. — *Transformation through High-Risk, Outcome-Driven Meaningful Experience* — is Dan's framework, his book's spine, and the app's core noun. Same word does triple duty: signature concept, IP, and product.
Universal mobile binary (iOS + Android via Expo) plus a marketing-and-dashboard web home — one Supabase Postgres + Auth + Storage backend, one bundle ID, one App Store + Play Store listing per platform.
Built around the dopamine loop, not the destination — "it's not about the treasure, it's about the quest." Push notifications, streaks, and a contributor-quote system keep the relationship warm so Dan's community stays his between speaking gigs.
A direct line to the human who owns your build — not a support queue.
Every The App Chicks client gets a dedicated project owner — a real human, not a rotating support rep. The portal is where you track progress, approve milestones, and stay in the loop with the person who actually owns your build.
White-gloveOwned relationshipProject clarity
✓ Building now. Every client onboarded today already gets the human; the portal ships next.
Inside the build
Every client is paired with a dedicated project owner on day one. Relationship-first, ticket-last.
Progress, milestones, and deliverable review in one place — no chasing status across Slack, email, and calendar invites.
The AI team and platform stay behind the scenes. The client experience is white-glove; the plumbing is The App Chicks'.
Turning 28 years of trusted answers into a platform she owns.
Amy Bell's 28+ years in compounding pharmacy built the trust; bellcurvehealth.com (in active build) is the platform that scales it — a quiz-led education library, membership, and a licensed clinical backend that plugs in behind one swappable interface, all on Amy's own domain and data.
TelehealthOwned platformRegulated industry
✓ In active build: the core site, quiz, and education layer are coming together on Amy's final copy. Clinical backend integration and membership billing in active development; not yet publicly live.
Inside the build
A symptom quiz scores across profile dimensions and routes each woman to the education content that matches her actual symptoms, not a generic landing page.
A licensed clinical backend sits behind a single `ClinicalBackendClient` layer, so licensed prescribing and pharmacy fulfillment stay swappable and never become the platform itself.
Every page is built from Amy's verbatim copy — her founder letter, her page specs, her design tokens — because her voice is the product, not a placeholder for SEO copy.
A Roblox studio with millions of plays, scaling past solo-dev bandwidth.
Hayden Duswalt (zer0Cactus on Roblox) already has games with millions of plays. The App Chicks runs a Roblox-tuned managed team that ships features faster, balances economies intentionally, and keeps the studio his.
RobloxManaged teamOwned studio
✓ Pending onboarding. Same platform that powers every other The App Chicks client, tuned for Roblox.
Inside the build
Hayden's Roblox games (*The Vents*, *The Vents Relocated*) already have millions of plays — scaling is about bandwidth, not validation.
Six roles tuned for Roblox — CEO, CTO, Luau Engineer, QA / Playtester, Economy / Balance, Content — working in parallel on the parts that used to queue behind each other.
Hayden owns his Roblox user, his studio, and his revenue. The team is a service — if he goes back solo, everything moves with him.
