The first customer 🎉

I got my first customer. Yay! ✨

I talked with this customer before the launch. I'm super happy that I was able to solve someone's problem and eventually get a paying customer.

    🙌Congratulations!

    • This is a really good way to get your first paying customer! Do you feel like you had to offer a discounted conservative price to entice them to be your first?

      thanks!

      Not at all, I delivered and the first customer tested it a few times to see if the product does what it claims. Eventually, he purchased a plane without contacting me.

    Congrats!

    Looking forward to hearing of your next customer milestone....10 customers? :)

    How did you get speaking to the customer in the first place?

      This project was my college project. I made it online as a public API a year ago. He contacted me via email and was interested in the paid version with a low-latency and more features.

        That's a great validation for a paid system.
        I'm usually waiting for ~3 similar requests before I start to develop a new feature

          There were similar requests as well. It's great when someone asks for paid version tho.
