This looks like a really cool idea. What I noticed is that is somehow hard to understand how to create the page. ( Click here, then there, then copy paste, then click publish, etc... ). If this process was more it would be awesome. Keep going the good work! I checked your $1k goal and wish you all the best in achieving it!

yeah, agree this instruction is sucks . Can you maybe suggest how I can improve it?

Move the steps around to remove switching between apps. My recommendation would be: 1, 6, 4, 2, 3, 5, with title and background info/other info as "advanced" config.

Make steps have sub steps, so step 1 is use this template, step 2 is prepare the spreadsheet; sub-step 2a is "press publish", sub-step 2b is "edit title on the main-page sheet" Step 3 is "Publish!" With sub-step 3a being copy url, 3b paste, etc.

It requires changing the code a bit, but should feel simpler, since there's no switching back and forth, and some complexity is hidden inside the sub steps.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agree! I've just added that for 1 custom domain it's for $5 /mon and for unlimited domains $10 / mon

Oh! If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about selling custom domains? Or if there are resources you can point me to, that would be helpful, too.

Not sure @andreyazimov is actually selling domains, only allowing you to connect your own, right? But if you want to actually sell domains via your application I'm sure that's possible via Namecheap API or something similar.
