New Website and Status Update

Wow, long time since the last post 😅

Not much happened with the product since the last update, seems I got a little lazy 🙃 I was working on other things (a new product, open source things) and also my day job, but...

DevBox now has a newly designed website (https://www.dev-box.app) 🎉 I was unhappy with the old design, so I took 2 weeks to design and implement the new one. Hoping to get more conversions with it. It actually showcases some tools that DevBox has.

Business wise for the period of from September 2022 to February (20th) 2023:

  • 56 sales in Gumroad (~$1,280 - 😮 haven't realized that it was this many)
  • 17 new subscriptions in AppSumo (~$270)
  • 16 sales in the Mac App Store (~$260)

All in all, ~$1,800 in revenue in ~5 months without spending much time on the product 🤑

Other notable things that happened in this period:

  • Registered an Estonian (1 person) company through e-residency which will be the owner of the product from now own.
  • I got my D-U-N-S Number for Apple to change to a company account, change still in progress, the number took a long time to get 🤷‍♂️ (but at least free).
  • Speaking about Apple, they stopped paying me out because of a refund situation (not sure if it resumed since then, need to contact them 🤔)
  • Gumroad changed it's pricing to be a flat 10%, so I'm switching to Lemon Squeezy (https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/) for 5%, waiting for the first sale form there 🤞

I'll try to post more frequently in the future 🤓

    Looks awesome! I've done a quick think-out-loud recording of myself trying it for the first time. Hope it's helpful: https://www.loom.com/share/f7c471b7010745bd901f87f5f59d81a8

      Thanks for making that recording, it was helpful 😊 I already spotted a point of improvement (you didn't seem to notice the restore button and couldn't get back to the previous state).

      Good luck with UX Swaps!
