I Built a Template to Ship AI Apps Fast

My AI tattoo app brings in around $500 in passive income, and a community member's hairstyle app makes $8,000 a month. The gap between you and results like that usually isn't skill. It's the setup friction before you write a single interesting line, so I built Platano to delete that part.

I walk through the whole template in the video.

What's inside

  • Why setup overhead kills more apps than bad ideas do
  • The AI app market outside the tech bubble is barely touched
  • Onboarding, paywalls, camera, and RevenueCat wired from minute one
  • English and Spanish support out of the box
  • Three built-in API routes for AI image generation, plus local caching
  • How pro member feedback shaped Android support and iOS 18 fixes
