Without marketing, your product basically useless

30 days ago, vexly.app got its first paying user.
Today we're at 10.
It's not about the size of the number, it's about the validation. People are paying for what we built.
Now back to making it even better.

Day 2 of building an app to track my subscriptions.

I'm currently working on the landing page. I think it is the most important because it determines whether the customer will buy your product.

Hey thank you! It's built using Next.js 14 with Shadcn/UI

Day 1 of building an app to track my subscriptions. I have a lot of subscriptions that I need to manage, and I sometimes just forget that they exist. Hopefully, this can solve my problem.

Agree, it's a tough one.

Of course, but web push notifications are kind of hard to implement. And I don't really want to spam users' emails either.

Oh that's sick!

Glad to hear that!
