Over $9000! — Payments in browser extensions
by Glen Chiacchieri💰Developers have now made over $9000 with ExtensionPay!
For those who aren't following along, ExtensionPay lets browser extension developers easily take payments for their extensions without a backend or any up-front costs, saving weeks of tedious work. It's open-source, works for all browsers, and is free to sign up and use.
Updates:
💰Revenue increased slightly over the past month. Still around $100 / month.
📝 234 signups in total now. Most seem to come from Google, Indie Hackers, and a handful of other sources.
⚙️ App changes:
- Updated the landing page with social proof and a flat monthly plan. Ended up removing the flat monthly plan option because I think it may have scared people off.
- Launched on r/sideproject. Very little traffic but a good way to test the waters for bigger launches.
- Added a password reset for developers to log in.
Reflections:
Steady as she goes! It was again a pretty light month for ExtensionPay without a huge amount of growth or features added. I feel okay with this for now.
There are a few features that many customers have requested that are no-brainers to do next. They'll take a bit of work because they touch every part of the app, but the service will be much more valuable after they're done.
