Who is a dreamer?

The word means literally what it says: someone who dreams. An Aigap dreamer is a person who notices a problem and decides to solve it with software.

Not a "developer" in the classic sense. They might not know any programming languages. They might not have a university degree.

Among the dreamers we know: a former accountant, an inventory specialist who spent years at his family's furniture workshop, a former hairstylist, a freelance graphic designer, a university student.

A dreamer's daily routine

9 AM: coffee, email. There are new comments on your system in the Store from yesterday — reply.

10:00 - 12:30: A user emailed asking for a feature. Open Aigap, add it in 30 minutes. Republish (version bump).

13:00 - 14:30: Lunch. Maybe school pickup. Maybe a laptop at a café.

15:00 - 17:30: A new system idea. Research the space, prototype in Aigap. Write a blog post (like this one). Chat with users on Twitter.

The dreamer life isn't 9-to-5. Some days you work 12 hours, other days 3.

What does the money look like?

Honest answer: months 1-6 are usually below zero. Building takes time, the first sales don't come, and when they do, it's just one or two.

Months 6-12: A system or two has found product-market fit. Revenue is $200-500/month. This is the typical "should I quit my day job?" moment.

Year 1-2: A few systems are selling at once. Target: $1,000-3,000/month.

Year 2+: The top 10 dreamers earn $4,000-10,000/month.

These numbers are real, but not for every dreamer. About 30% quit within the first year — the most common reason is not finding enough motivation in the first six months.

Commission structure

When you sell a system in the Onremo Store, 85% of the sale is yours. The other 15% covers Aigap infrastructure, payment processing, and legal obligations (taxes, etc.).

Pro plan vs Free plan doesn't change the commission — it's the same for everyone. Upgrading to Pro only gives you more systems you can publish, advanced analytics, API access; commission stays at 15%.

Does one-time vs monthly subscription change anything? No. 85% is yours either way.

Which system suits which generation of dreamer?

For first-time dreamers: A system that solves a small problem in a niche. Something the market needs but the big SaaS companies aren't bothering with.

Examples: "SMS reminder system for dental clinics," "Marketplace stock sync for specialty grocers," "Lesson-fee tracker for music teachers."

These systems typically sell at $20-80 to 200-1,000 customers → $4,000-80,000 in revenue range.

For experienced dreamers: Broader audience, recurring subscription revenue. E.g. CRM, project management, vertical SaaS.

Community and support

The Aigap dreamer community is active on Discord and Slack. 800+ members, 200+ messages a day. Other dreamers help you with questions and give feedback.

There's a monthly "Dreamer Demo Day" — you show your new systems to others and get feedback.

Once a year, the "Aigap Summit" in Istanbul. 2-3 days of meetups, workshops, networking.

Burak Çelik: Inventory specialist at his family's furniture workshop. "We tracked stock in a notebook. I wanted to get it out of the notebook and into the Store." He built Stock Optimizer. Over a thousand businesses use it.
