How I created this event website in 37 minutes to help Startups & myself.

AppSumo’s Sumoday event is an annual promotional campaign where Startup founders and marketers can find great deals on popular lifetime tools, as well as new ones. This year’s Sumoday event took place from June 11th to June 15th, featuring approximately 700 participating tools.

As a long-time AppSumo follower, I decided to create a micro-website that would curate all of the deals available in one place. However, with over 700 deals to choose from, manually curating them was a daunting task. So I turned to my tool arsenal and looked into following tools:

• Rtila
• Hexofy
• Browse AI.

Although I had used these tools previously to curate AppSumo deals, when I checked today none of them were working properly with AppSumo’s website due to ( probably ) selector field changes made by AppSumo. Despite this challenge, I put in some hard work and ultimately discovered that Browse AI was able to help me curate all of the available deals.

Once the initial step of curation was complete, I needed a tool that could help me display the curated deal information on the front-end. That is when I discovered SpreadSimple - which proved instrumental in showcasing my final product.

Here is the end product: https://sumoday.dealsup.date/

On this website,

• You can get common info like tool name, category, link, deal price etc. for each deal.
• You can also see number of reviews that each deal has received till now.
• You can sort Sumo-day deals based on the number of reviews it has received.
• You can filter based on category you want.
• It's just a single infinite scrolling page.

The planning process took a significant portion of my day, but once it was completed, the execution time was no more than 40 minutes.

However, I wrote 37 minutes in the title, because I had recently learned via this tweet that number #7 works well to grab attention. :)

Well, while I’m uncertain about the exact affiliate earnings that will be generated from my website, I am pleased with what I have been able to achieve thus far .

Let’s see how it goes, I will share more stats later here.
