45 Apps in a Year, Then Snag — How a 20-Year-Old NYU Student Turned a “Free Stuff Near You” App into $30K/Month in Under 4 Months

A breakout from Benjamin Chen (Benji), an NYU student who shipped 45+ apps in a year. Snag aggregates free local items — furniture, electronics, everyday goods — into one app. Built in hours with Claude Code and pushed through a standardized creator-UGC-to-Meta-ads pipeline, it hit $30K/month, 9,000 paying conversions and 100K users in under four months.
