MRR update: $22/month from Chrome extensions

MRR update: $22/month from Chrome extensions.

Not where I want to be, but the machine is starting to work.

What changed this week:

• ZenRead v1.2.0 shipped — the #1 issue was silent trial expiration. Zero notifications = zero upgrades. Fixed with chrome.alarms (4 reminders) + post-trial popup.
• CookieJar hitting 2.1% free→paid conversion on paywall (96 shown → 2 paid)
• ReadMark at 5.3% (38 shown → 2 paid)

What's broken:

• Revenue pipeline stopped syncing April 14 — flying blind on actual May transactions
• ZenRead got 200 installs in 4 days, GA4 shows -57% WAU. Ghost installs from CWS algo.

30-day target: $40. Need 1-2 more paying users. 12-month target: $670/month (34x current). Ambitious but I have 17 extensions and finally understand the conversion math.

Building solo, no co-founder. Happy to compare notes with anyone in similar territory.
