Fucking awesome! Congrats!
Thanks a lot @ih19 🙌
I really like what you did with the '3 months free' idea. Helps you release early and gives a greater sense of value to the user. Smart!
Coding payment and restrictions will delay the launch. But always remember, a dummy premium plan will not validate the product.
We can say it's validated only when people start taking their card out of their wallet and pay for the service using real $$.
The undeniable truth :)
Congrats on your success and thanks for the write up!
What tech stack were used?
ReactJS + NodeJS + MongoDB
Is the actual widget in reactjs or just jquery?
The widget is written in plain vanilla JS which makes it smoother and lightweight.

Great article, thank you for sharing your story 🙂What do you think is the best way of overcoming haveGreatIdea recursion? I am stuck there for a long time.
Glad you liked it @Happy ☺️
I think haveGreatIdea() is an issue most makers face, especially when they are indie/solo. Actually, I am still exploring options to crack this down 😁
Sharing the idea / progress and making yourself accountable to the public is one way. Launching fast can also help.
Let me know if you know any other technics.
The MLP vs MVP is so bang on. Great advice.

I have been using this idea in few other products and it works. ☺️
That's profound! Congratulations on your success!

Great work! And love the "3 months free" concept. Get it out quickly, and get your customers using, relying on and valuing the product so payment would be a no brainer for most!

Smart idea, and the execution is so good, bravo! Thanks for sharing.
