💛 My Baby Isn’t a Baby Anymore — 2,000+ Users
I can’t believe how fast this little project grew. What started as a tiny experiment — a Chrome extension I built mostly for myself — has now reached 2,000+ users in just 3 weeks.
It’s funny… for a while, it really was my baby 🍼. I worried about every tiny detail: a confusing label, an awkward shortcut, a button color. I stayed up late tweaking things, whispering to my laptop: please be good enough…
And now? My baby isn’t a baby anymore. People are using it, coming back, leaving feedback, and quietly making it part of their day. 💛
Every small polish, every UX tweak, every tiny improvement is finally paying off. Growth isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and real. ✧
Thank you to everyone who tried Showesome, shared it, or even just clicked around. Seeing it grow like this… well, it’s the best feeling in the world. 😌
This is awesome! Just what I needed for creating dev tutorials. Love that it's free, no watermarks, and no time limits. Great work! 👏
Thank you so much! 🙂 Really glad it’s helpful for your tutorials. I wanted to keep it free, with no watermarks and no time limits, so it’s as hassle-free as possible. Feel free to share any feedback or ideas for improvements while using it — always happy to make it even better! 💛
That’s amazing—congrats! 🎉
Growing a side project from a personal experiment into something 2,000+ people use in just weeks is a huge achievement. It really shows how much care you put into the details. Quiet, steady growth driven by real users and thoughtful UX is the best kind.
Well done on listening, polishing, and shipping—excited to see where Showesome goes next!
Thanks a lot! 😄 💛 It’s been great to watch steady progress and how even minor adjustments make a real difference. Looking forward to continuing to grow Showesome and explore what’s next!
Congratulation, You have done really good work done on UX. btw how are you planning to generate revenue from it? Or will it be free as it is now?
Thanks a lot! 💛 For now, it will stay completely free. My focus is on seeing how people use it, refining the experience, and making sure it’s genuinely useful. Once I decide to monetize, everything that’s currently free will remain free forever — I want early users to feel rewarded, not punished.
In the future, any premium features would likely be optional add-ons rather than taking anything away from the core experience. My goal is to make sure people who love the extension continue to love it, while still giving me a path to sustainability.
I can really see how much attention you’ve given to every small detail. The UI looks beautiful, and the cursor effect is especially well done.
Really appreciate that! 💛 I love tweaking the tiny details, and I’m glad they make a difference.
Congrats on hitting 2,000 users, Alma; that quiet, steady growth is inspiring! My BOS+HUB alpha (dual OS for ops/AI/community) is still in the "baby" phase, obsessing over UX tweaks just like you described.
What's one small polish that surprised you with the biggest retention boost?
Would love to apply it early!
Thanks so much! 😄 Honestly, it wasn’t a single tweak — more about thinking like a first-time user and polishing small UX details. Even tiny changes in clarity and flow made the “baby” feel easier to use, and that seemed to have the biggest impact on retention.
Excited to see how BOS+HUB’s baby grows — those early UX tweaks will definitely pay off!
Thanks so much! 🙂 Exactly — focusing on removing friction and making things feel effortless has been the biggest payoff so far. I totally agree about the Reddit approach too — helping in the right threads quietly compounds over time. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
Glad it resonated, you’re already thinking about growth the right way.
If you want, I can tailor a Reddit discovery approach specifically for your product and audience.

Great app I can now use this to record or snap images of my web apps instead of having to use snip it tool every time. Thanks.
Thanks so much! 🙂 That’s exactly what I hoped for — making it quick and easy to capture things without switching tools. Glad it’s already fitting into your workflow!
