FOMO design helped me get 2 new pre-orders within 2 hours

Hello makers,

You might already know that I am working on my upcoming SaaS uibun.dev and in order to get more sales, I am running a few experiments.

My most recent experiment was with creating a FOMO component to drive the users to purchase the product before the release. As a result, I ended up creating a component that shows a progressbar with the "percentage claimed" and "time until offer ends" info. Here's a screenshot of the component: https://ibb.co/447nT9G (it is live on uibun.dev)

As a result of this component, I got 2 new pre-orders in less than 2 hours drastically improving the conversion rate. Currently I get about 20 visitors a day, and this is very good conversion rate for the site at the moment.

I am still figuring things out, but this definitely feels like moving in the right direction. I'll keep posting updates here so feel free to ask any questions that you have.
