> App cloning has existed forever.
I understand that, and said literally that in the first section of my extensive response, but, like I also pointed out in my previous response, things are different now.
Traditional advice about fast PMF via fast public release no longer applies, and not just for phone apps; for all applications, whether SaaS, local, etc.
The only solution one can do is first build a set of leads, and then approach each one individually and privately to find PMF.
> You can build a brand by actively participating with your users such that they prefer your app over the clones.
For B2C, this is a losing proposition unless you are fueled with VC money.
