Five years ago I couldn't make a website. Now I make $30k/month with a web app.

    I’ve been working on a tool that helps track and improve how you use your browser.

    It’s called Browser Clarity — it gives you insights into your browsing habits so you can stay more intentional online.

    Would love feedback:

    I built a free AI tool that finds studios under 60 €/night in any city and auto-applies discounts (Spotahome -15 €, Blueground €50-250, etc.).
    No signup, no ads.
    Every time a user books I earn 30-250 €.
    Zero code, live in 5 min.
    Happy to share the affiliate mix I use – just ask.

    Super relatable. One thing I noticed while building is that even with good products, support becomes repetitive fast.

    That’s actually why I’m building Crawldesk — an ‘ask your docs’ AI to reduce dev support overload.”

    They want to push a button an get a banana.

    This is next level advice. I even see established businesses making the mistake of forcing the customer do work before and after purchasing their product. Go the extra mile. Just give them the whole banana. And make it look like it was simple.

      Exactly. Simplicity on the end user, lots of complexity and automation under the hood.

    Hey! Great journey. No doubt, dedication can take you to new heights. Loved the post.

    Hey, great product. I just checked it out. I have a question - It seems you're basically automating Poshmark, which seems to be against their guidelines. Do you think you might face some legal challenges as your app grows? Or, maybe Poshmark may introduce measures to counter automation?

      It's always a possibility, yes.

    Great write-up, Jordan! You should post this on Hacker News, I have a feeling it will blow up!

      Ha - probably. I’ve always avoided HN to avoid getting more competitors.

      Feel free to post if you want!

    Interesting! Thanks for sharing this.

    I spent about 9 months on this project. It didn’t earn me any money, but it earned me a ton of practical and profitable skills.

    Was there any reason why this person couldn't be a customer? 9 months is a long time to not be paid.

    1. 2

      They offered to pay but I turned it down since it was a learning experience for me. It also was definitely not full-time, and I actually started from scratch about half-way through once I had learned more things.

      I had a day-job at the time. Was in skill building mode!

    Inspiring journey, Jordan! It's amazing how dedication and continuous learning can lead to such success. Your story resonates with many of us striving to build impactful web applications. Looking forward to seeing how your journey unfolds further!
