$5 Mac app pulls $5K in 72 hours from one viral reel

$5,000 in 72 hours from a macOS app that moans when you slap the laptop. Price: $5. Build time: 48 hours. Distribution: one Instagram reel reviewing a joke GitHub repo. Zero ads, zero cold DMs, zero PR. The comments on that reel typed "WHERE IS THE APP" in all caps until the operator went and made it. This is what audience-pulled shipping looks like when the audience is already screaming at you.
