$1K MRR in 8 months by pricing this app for the rest of the world

A solo dev from Mauritius went from $0 to $1,007 MRR in 8 months on a pixel-art habit tracker. No paid ads, no funding, no team. Six of those months produced only $208/mo of growth. Then he stacked four moves in an eight-week window and the curve went 5× — $208 → $407 → $840 → $1K. The kicker: he never tried to beat a single competitor on features.
