As promised I will keep releasing new features to the tool, simultaneously I have started working on Shopify extension to the tool.

I received a lot of feedback from users and Shapes and Stickers are the most wanted one.

This new feature will allow user to add shapes and stickers to one image and with one single click apply to all of the images at once.

Simplistic use I could see is Create and add special offer banner to all images
Or style your watermark with ready made shapes and stickers

Give a try

Today my first saas product wewatermark.com got featured on saashub and currently at number 8 wow, it's a great milestone for me.

Also, I got a lot of feature requests from visitors of the site.

I really appreciate the help I received from indiehacker users.

Finally its the day when I was happy with the product as I visioned.
Learned a lot of things throughout the journey, will pour in all my learnings in my next SAAS product.

Some notable things I've learned:

1. Be consistent and commit to atleast 10 minutes a day (many a times I felt 10 minutes is not enough to complete a product or its not worth but once the product is ready the learnings, takings, experience I received will help me in my next product development and speed up things)

2. Don't select technology based on emotions, select what fits in your requirements

3. Evaluate as many technology, libraries as you find but go with the best and those having better reviews, you don't want to spend time in unknown issues

4. Define MVP once you start development, without MVP you keep on adding features some of them wasting your time and not even worth, let user decide which features they want.

5. Have Patience and continue working on your product.

Have faith and belief

=> Completed most important feature "Bulk Mode"
=> Payment integration done
=> User Management Refactored
=> On page SEO optimization completed
=> Tested and ready
=> I started giving atleast 30 minutes a day now, 10 minutes were so difficult initially when I started but now I find 30 minutes so easily.

Made a list of features to add next.

I am so happy with it.

Due to personal commitment I lost the traction around Nov-Jan but got back in Feb.
=> At the end of 10 minutes I started writing what I have to do next so next day I don't have to look around where to start
=> Was comfortable writing code in Node.js, working with Heroku, MongoDb, Cloudflare and EJS
=> Tried so many different plugins, finalized the plugins and cleaned up the code

The idea of 10 minutes a day was working well and I made sure I don't spend less than or more than 10 minutes a day to stay consistent in what I do.
=> Learning continues for Node.Js from W3School and Udemy
=> Finalized a template for the product
=> Maintained an excel sheet recording daily timesheet of what I am working upon and todo list
=> Finished basic user management
=> Learned about Heroku, CI/CD, pipelines and started working on it
=> Initial site ready with homepage, user management, SSL configured and site hosted (without the product)
=> Basic image editing version with website was ready (without bulk feature)

I had a friend who wanted to add his company name on all of his product images, we looked around so many websites and desktop softwares, either they were costly or they were no effecient in doing what we wanted.
So I came up with thought if there is a online product where I can upload 100 image, add company name to one of the image and with one button click it applies to all of the images
=> without loosing quality
=> protect IP
=> fast and easy to use
=> affordable cost

I am a full time .net dev and wanted to explore new and trending technologies by actually working on live projects so I thought of learning the tech stack and working on product which I can launch to market.

I was fascinated by Node.Js so this was best chance for me to start with it.

I promised myself to work 10 minutes a day no matter what and planned to wake up 10 minutes early and work on this .
