We launched a lifetime deal on Appsumo!
We have been hesitant at the beginning but we decided to go with a lifetime deal!
Launched Monday, then we had our first customer, tried the product for an hour, and then asked for a refund.
The second one, the same day, tested the product in 15min then decided to get a refund too.
When we created a video explaining how the product actually works and posted it on the AppSumo listing page. Things started to turn around today and we had our first 10 customers.
Got first good interactions with some of them, and they seem to like the product.
Hopefully, we will get good reviews.
Starting to work toward content sharing, we updated our landing page and we added a video.
We decided to share here as well for anyone interested to know more about what we are doing.
Our next goal is to provide a basic library of components before launch time!
Things are starting to get excited!
We are thankful to many communities of open source as well as indiehackers for the great content!
It's a pretty long journey with almost half the features that have been created so far, did not start to communicate the project yet.
Decided to create a landing page and a video, share it with few friends, and get some feedback, still didn't know about indiehackers then.
So here it is https://youtu.be/gsals0aY6gM
With the rise of modern javascript frameworks, developers became able to deliver and update features more frequently. Nevertheless, they became tied up with the structure and the dependencies of the framework environment, loading unnecessary code, maintaining libraries’ updates, limiting the possibility to reuse already operating features in a new version of the same application, and requiring a learning curve for newcomers to adapt the changes.
That’s why a lot of startups and small businesses are taking the direction of using CMS and website builders to reduce cost and speed the launching process. As their business grows or shifts, adapting to changes turns into a nightmare as they start to see a drop-down in performance, making full system redesign or tech stack changes less expensive than adaptation.
Fouita aims to enable CMS based solutions, static websites, and other content creators to be able to use custom APIs or headless CMS without the hustle of integration. By accessing a marketplace of UI components or creating new ones, users can have full control of their codebase, will be able to update features faster, collaborate easily, and navigate through changes for better decision making. Radically reducing maintenance costs, and keeping up with technology trends.

This is interesting. I have bought quite a few products and courses from Appsumo.
Please continue to share how this process is for you, including:
Hey, Thanks for the questions!
About How easy was it to get listed on Appsumo?
It was very easy, we got approval in 2 days, then we got a launch date set up after 3 days.
The only thing they require is a nice-looking product, a list of random codes, and a code redemption page for users to automatically upgrade.
Support is really helpful from the start, they offer guides and best practices to sell and attract customers. they can even update the listing to fix mistakes and use better images.
Will keep sharing how it went, good and bad.
Thanks!
