Hey Indie Hackers community,
I'm really excited to share some news! The journey of building OpenQR.io, my QR code platform, was recently featured in an interview on fakemayo.com. As a solo founder, getting to share my story and process like this is a new and incredibly valuable experience, and I'm really glad for the opportunity.
The interview dives into various aspects of building OpenQR.io, including:
The growth journey: How we slowly built up to almost 900 active users (many on the free tier), focusing heavily on listening to user feedback.
The marketing hustle: My personal struggles and learnings as a developer tackling marketing, including what worked (like LinkedIn Ads).
Our business model: How OpenQR.io stands out, particularly with dynamic QR codes that keep working even after a subscription, and plans for exciting new features.
It's been a challenging but incredibly rewarding process building something useful for people on my own. If you're a solo founder, thinking about starting, or just curious about the realities of building a SaaS, I think you'll find some valuable insights in the article.

Would love to hear your thoughts or any questions you might have about the journey or OpenQR.io itself!
Cheers!
