Research notes on Rexan Wong:

Twitter bio: https://x.com/rexan_wong
Personal website: https://www.rexanwong.xyz/

The most popular app he built is called Text-Behind-Image

textbehindimage.app:

300K users
5k visits per day
$1,000 MRR
Makes money through a monthly subscription/upgrade

He also built a few other apps using no code:

But how did he grow this thing?

It looks like he’s primarily built his profile on Twitter.
Building in public: And If you scroll through his Twitter, you can see that he’s been posting a TON about his building process
But then I found this tweet, which looks like the thing that launched Text-Behind-Image
This is interesting: And then posted this follow up with showed off building the project

Okay so… $1,000 MRR is nothing right? Might as well work a regular FT job.

BUT here’s the main lessons I think you can take from this:

He’s learning to ship his own shit
He’s figuring out marketing and building in public
He’s going to apply all this to his next project.
And he’s ONLY 17!!

I predict this kid builds a $1M app in the next decade.
