Hey Indiehackers,
Been lurking around on Indiehackers for a while. For the last 2-3 years, I've been building TLDR This (https://tldrthis.com/) on the side. For context, TLDR This is a web app + chrome extension that helps you summarize any piece of text into concise, easy to digest content so you can free yourself from information overload.
There's been steady growth since June 2019 when I released the MVP. However, last month was our best month so far. We finally starting seeing some results:
π¨βπ 35K web app users
π 52K page views
π²605 MRR (75 new paying users)
π $86 churned revenue
Additionally, our chrome extension also passed 30,000 active Chrome installs.
All this wouldn't have been possible without the massive support from the Indiehackers community.
I'm happy for you, but at the same time, I'm worried about my own project. Putting a lot of effort into getting 35K users for what, $600 MRR? I'm building an extension, too (that's my main product), and I think 30K installs is a fantastic number, I wonder if I ever get this many, but if I was hoping that conversion rates are higher than that. Especially with a super-useful product like yours.
Hey no worries mate! Get your product out there, see if you can find some paying users to validate the idea, then get those customers to give you feedback to improve the product and help you make it into what they really need. π
