OpenGraphr

Was a bit sad, but some times you have to let go. Opengraphr was working actually quite well handling a few hundred thousand requests / month, but after MRR dropped from 69€ to 35€ I decided to send an email to clients announcing that OpenGraphr would peacefully stop its services so I can start focusing on different businesses and ideas. Rest in peace, friend.

After much thinking, I decided it was time to give AppSumo a chance and publish OpenGraphr there, with an amazing discount.

An annual subscription to the Growth Plan (100.000 requests each month) for just $69 (instead of 499.99€). That's almost an 85% discount!

It will go live in https://appsumo.com/products/opengraphr/ today at 12PM CST (in one hour!)

OpenGraphr has been invited to participate in the World Data Pipeline Championship as an API Partner 🤩

The Data Pipeline Championship is an event in August 2021 bringing together hundreds of data engineers from around the world to compete for $10,000 in prizes.

OpenGraphr will collaborate by providing users with more capabilities than the free tier, so developers can experiment with the API with way fewer limitations!

Furthermore, we are also offering 2 free months of the Growth plan as one of the event prices!

Previously, OpenGraphr had one weak spot: the license management was done using Laravel in a VPS. This could have led to a shortage if the server did not have the capacity to satisfy all requests (each request to the API would check the license status).

Today, I am proud to say that OpenGraphr is running 100% serverless and can now handle millions of requests with no hassle ;)

Woah! Today OpenGraphr reached 50 registered users, and there are two paying customers! One of them even subscribed to the Growth plan.
This past month, OpenGraphr has supported almost 100.000 API requests for our users, most of them for the two paying customers.

Only one month and a half later, and with almost no marketing and advertising, there's a person paying each month for this platform!
Currently, OpenGraphr has ~10 registered users and there are hundreds of people using the Open Graph debugger each month.

It took me a few weeks and learning a lot about NodeJS, but finally got OpenGraphr working with a beautiful platform and my own Open Graph Debugger. I am really excited to launch this platform and see if it gets any users! It's built on AWS Lambda with NodeJS, and the website is powered by the beauty of Laravel and Livewire.
