Our First Paid User!

We are thrilled to announce that we have recently acquired our first paid user! It has been a long journey, and we are excited to finally see our hard work pay off.

Over the last 10 months, my co-founder and I have been pouring our hearts and souls into building a product that we believe will revolutionize the industry. We knew that building a business from scratch was going to be tough but we were determined to persevere and make our vision a reality. We faced countless challenges and setbacks along the way, but we never lost sight of our goal. We kept pushing forward, fueled by our passion and the belief that our product could truly make a difference.

And now, after all these months of hard work and dedication, we have finally secured our first paid user. It is a moment of pride and joy for us, and it validates all the efforts we have put in so far.

We know that this is just the beginning, and we still have a long way to go. But this first paid user is a milestone that we will always cherish. It is a reminder that our product has real value, and that there are people out there who are willing to pay for it.

      Thanks so much! It's a long, hard journey but if you work hard you'll definitely be able to accomplish it one day.

      Would it be possible for you to go through our website and provide feedback and constructive criticism? What factors would make you pay, what factors wouldn't?

        great to hear. I've just taken a look at your site. I do think it is put together well. Just a couple things to mention. In the 'minimal parent involvement' you have learned twice. Not sure if you meant to do this. Also, if it is aim at parents, I would use more brighter colors for the website. It feels a bit dark. I would look into more warming colors. Imagine a parent looking to get their child to view it as well. Hope it helps :).

          Thank you so much for the feedback!

          Question - If you were a parent, would you have payed?

            I think if there was a bit more animated visuals I think I would.

        Oh okay! I checked out the website and it seems cool! If my kids were old enough I would definitely pay!

        I was just wondering because the wording was different, I don't know if its something with indiehackers or something you intentionally did

          Glad to hear it! If you have any constructive criticism please share.

          Also, what do you mean that the wording is different?

          1. 1

            The website is a bit slow on mobile, maybe you can optimize the resources better, if no I understand, as hosting costs alot: just a thought!

            Also what I meant for the wording is that nate4 is listed as a Founder, while you are listed as a Co-Founder, but if your both co-founders you should both be listed as founders. Not sure if thats something on your end or indie's end - just a thought!

      Yep, he just found out about Indie Hackers.
