From 800 MRR to 2.9k MRR in 1 night

In 1 night I got 3 different customers:

  • 1 for my 1-year of updates (one-time payment).
  • 1 for the per-month updates (subscription).
  • 1 for custom software development using SaasRock.

This is even more motivation ๐Ÿ˜!

    Congratulations ๐Ÿ’ช.
    But please clean the Pricing page ( Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut... all over the page )

    1. 1

      Of course! I'll make it more clear because it's supposed to be Lorem ipsum as they're demo prices that you can change by going to the /admin/setup/pricing page.

  2. 2

    Congratulations!

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the value add here for a customer is time + cost to launch?

    1. 1

      Thanks a lot! Correct, right now is pre-launch access. When v1.0 is ready, it'll cost something like Gravity, and I hope to have a no-code solution as well, not to take down Bubble or Webflow, but to build simple SaaS MVPs to validate your idea, and downloading the code for custom customization if needed.

      1. 1

        Clean idea - best of luck

  3. 2

    Wow, that sounds magnificent.

  4. 2

    Great achievement Alexandro. Keep it up my man ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

  5. 2

    That's very encouraging. Onward and upward.

  6. 2

    That's terrific work, Alexandro. Congrats ๐Ÿคฉ

    Getting validation overnight gives a fantastic feel for sure๐Ÿ™Œ

    1. 2

      I needed the validation ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘Œ

  7. 2

    Awesome work! Keep up the hu$tle.

    Congrats. I believe soon there will be handful of open source powerful remix saas kit starters (there is already some). It is highly suggested to jump on freemium ship asap. Have a look at abp.io, they have done great work on freemium with huge growth over last 3/4 years.

    1. 1

      Thanks a lot! Iโ€™d love to make this open source and charge for premium support or a cloud solution, e.g. Appsmith. I hope this is open source, it could be once it has enough funding - just as Remix did - and compensate early members somehow, but Iโ€™m talking about a minimum of 12 months working on this. I like abp by the way, I tried to make my own .NET boilerplates but with React, Svelte and Vue (2 and 3), they didnโ€™t work.

  9. 2

    Inspiring, keep it up!

  10. 2

    Congrats! Keep it up ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  11. 2

    Great work

  12. 2

    Impressive project - how long have you spent building this? And are you a one person team?

    1. 1

      3 months today: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/launching-a-remix-saas-kit-this-monday-e7844b870b. Thank you, and yes itโ€™s only me. I have a mentor tough, Chris Kluis knew me because of that post/tweet with > 600 likes.

  13. 2

    I think you should separate the demo and your product web page, the pricing demo page is confusing => and it is easy to overlook the "demo" word in the title.

    1. 2

      Iโ€™ll do that, thanks ๐Ÿ‘Œ

  14. 2

    Very inspiring! How big was your audience and what caused this spike?

    1. 1

      Hmm Iโ€™d say 250 twitter followers, I usually post products there, but I also post here, dev.to, medium, hashnode, HN, linkedin, tealfeedโ€ฆ I donโ€™t think I have an audience yet, besides SaasRockโ€™s customers. Also I have a 8 open source projects. I have > 1,000 GumRoad customers, 900 of them were from a free v0.0.1 remix saas kit I posted, but I have not sent emails to them, Iโ€™m waiting until this gets to v1.0.

  15. 2

    Congratulation

  16. 2

    Nothing like cold cash to verify business ๐Ÿš€

    1. 1

      For sure! ๐Ÿ˜€

  17. 1

    Congrats on making both business and technological progress!

    I see that you're using Prisma. How do you handle server side errors with Prisma? With database operations there can arise a multitude of errors. Prisma offers some error codes and messages but they don't seem to cover all cases and I find them tedious to handle. What's your experience with it?

    1. 2

      Thanks Alexander! I've only had these types of errors in Prisma:

      • Selecting wrong fields. Solution: make sure always to use typescript. Also, Prisma tells you something like "did you mean...?".
      • Duplication (@unique). Solution: validate before creating/updating.
      • Unknown resource. Solution: I get the row before updating or deleting it.
      • Depends on another object. Solution: onCascade:true, but not on every model.

      I can't think of other errors I've got.

  18. 1

    I tried hard but canโ€™t find any pricing information for your product. It is something I would conisder

    1. 1

      Any suggestions? You could click on the โ€œ Get pre-launch priceโ€ button at the landing page (hero section).

      1. 1

        I clicked on that but didnโ€™t see a price. Using mobile.

        1. 1

          Iโ€™ll check it out, it should send you here.
