It's too early to tell for me. My mvp proof-of-concept was front page on HN and has had a ton of signups, but the manual payment process I'm using really sucks and no one has actually paid yet.

I'm currently writing the automated backend to enforce payment (along with some improvements), and then we'll see how much revenue it brings in.

Signed up. Funny that your manual payment process sucks, considering its the manual vp.

May I suggest a 7 or 14 day trial, then prompting people to pay once they're invested in your site?

I don't want to pay without trying :/ but might be lazy in 14 days and let a few automatic payments slip through the cracks to your service.


Yea that's something I'd like to add in the future for sure. Right now I'm just letting Stripe do the free trial for me.


I like! Signed up!


Pretty cool
