What's New at RoutineHub
AI is taking over RoutineHub, and if you're a developer, now’s the time to dive in. From HollowayRoberts’ iconic videos to a brand-new way for devs to earn, we're building something big. Mobile-first, creator-powered, and ready for the future.
Video Upgrades: The Holloway Effect
Shoutout to @hollowayroberts, our video wizard and king of chill. Ever watched a RoutineHub video and thought, "Wow, this is smooth"? That’s Holloway. His signature? Lo-fi beats, a voice made for radio, and an uncanny habit of putting unimpressed cats on title cards. Why do the cats always look like they’d rather be somewhere else? No idea. But here at RoutineHub, we celebrate unique expression—even if it comes with side-eyeing felines.

@hollowayroberts recently dove deep into data, analyzing what makes videos pop. Key takeaway? AI is 🔥. If you want your shortcut to blow up, make something AI-driven. Right now, there are only 34 AI shortcuts under our new "Artificial Intelligence" tag. That means opportunity. Want downloads? Build AI.
And remember, presentation matters. High-quality listings get the most love. Take Nuvole AI by @MIKL as a prime example. Clean, polished, and engaging = success. AI Lense by @FedLZ really captures your attention with the color 🟧. All great listings that will improve their rankings.
Helping Devs Earn
Here’s the deal: Software isn’t free to maintain. Unlike selling an NFT (where you make it once and rake in cash), digital infrastructure has ongoing costs. The more users, the higher the bill.
I learned this firsthand in streaming radio. Traditional radio? Fixed costs. Internet radio? Every new listener drives up expenses.
Looking for a digital infrastructure example, just ask the developer whose $50 Google Cloud bill turned into a $70K nightmare overnight. While everything turned out to be a happy ending, this is a terrifying experience.
My firebase bill is usually $50/month, but I was surprised to see a ~$70,000 bill in one day.

Now Google is mentioning in 10 days it will be sent to debt collection

So, we’re building a new way for creators to earn—one that cuts fees and puts more money in your pocket. We’re starting in the U.S. because, well, you gotta start somewhere. From there? The world.
I will be sharing more next in my next post. Stay tuned and thank you for your incredible support!
