As soon as I got my 2nd paying customer, I also got a notice from Heroku that I needed to upgrade my database as I was reaching the limit :D.
Profitability is moving further and further away.
But Lurnby is moving forward. I did a lot of work recently to start getting it ready for marketing and growth experiments. After a lot of beta testing and having around 6-7 Monthly Active Users, I'm confident that I've built something worthwhile and reliable. Now it's time for the real test. Getting customers :D
I've added a Terms of Service and privacy policy. Built out the settings page to allow people to choose their notifications, update and delete their accounts, and export all of their Lurnby data to use in other platforms.
And I've finally redesigned the landing page with a little help from my cofounder in another project. Would love to hear from people if it's clear and makes sense what the product is for.
The next step which is almost ready, is to build out the onboarding and notifications features. I need to rewrite a bunch of the tutorials, determine triggers and conditions, and create a scheduling function that will start sending out emails to people and hopefully reengage some old users and make sure that I make the most of any new users I acquire as I start to think about marketing.
It's fucking hard. But it's also really exciting to know that I've come this far. Considering that when I started 2 years ago I didn't know how to code at all, I'm really surprised at what I've achieved.
Just sets the bar higher though. XD
