9 months since I started building Chromentum. Took a break 8 weeks in once I had a usable extension for myself without any of the business logic for Stripe checkout subscriptions built yet.
I knew I had a LOT of work still left to do for that. Adding Supabase for subscription state management and creating another great frontend webapp to send traffic once all of that was done and the marketing push would start.
So now, I'm at the beginning of the marketing push ... Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, AppSumo, etc and all of the tech blog outreach, plus building a community around Chromentum on Reddit, which is quite a challenge.
Attention is a hard thing to capture when everyone else is looking to grab that same attention for their product.
I think it will require equal or more effort than coding the actual product and infra setup, but hey.....it's all a part of the process!
