🚀 Just Pushed a Major Update to My Shopify App – Would Love Your Feedback!

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I’m Hamza, a solo developer building PreloaderX — a Shopify app that helps stores reduce bounce rates and improve SEO by keeping visitors engaged with sleek, lightweight preloaders and animations.

This month, I rolled out a big August 2025 update and also revamped the pricing plans. Here’s what’s new:

🛠 What’s New in August 2025 Update:
• ⏱ Timing Control: Merchants can now set custom durations for preloader display
• 📱 Better Device Preview: Accurate scaling on mobile, tablet, and desktop views
• ✨ 6 New Animations: Preloaders #26 to #31 added to the growing collection
• 🎨 UI/UX Tweaks: Cleaner interface, smoother editing experience

💡 That timing control was actually requested in a 3⭐️ review — finally shipped it and just reached out to the user to re-try the app 🤞

💸 New Pricing Plans (Simplified & Fair):

🆓 FREE Plan
• 30+ Ready-to-use preloaders
• Regular updates
• PreloaderX watermark
• Community support

🚀 PRO Plan (2-day free trial)
Pricing 👉 $3.47/month or $25.97/year (save 38%)
• Custom logo/GIF upload & animation
• Advanced customization
• No watermark – completely branded
• Priority support

📈 Current goal: grow from $30 → $1,000 MRR

This is my first Indie Hackers post, and I’d love to connect with others growing Shopify apps or solo SaaS products.

Would love your thoughts on:

• How to get more quality reviews organically?

• Best channels for traffic beyond Shopify App Store?

• Ideas for boosting trial → paid conversion?

Thanks for reading and supporting indie devs 🙌
