Something I’ve noticed in many of these threads showcasing successful products is that they all focus on marketing. Advertising software, analytics software, etc. I rarely (never?) see any one post about their successful non marketing solution.

Hello HN, I see another post sharing their success micro startups today on HN so I thought I should share mine. I started working on this browser extension for Twitter 8 months ago. It took 3 months to reach $60/mo, 3 more to reach $400/mo, and 2 more to reach $3K/mo – where I am now. When I start, I had 0 followers on Twitter. When it reaches $400/mo, I quit my job. I now live freely from corporate drama and travel…

How long have you been programming professionally? YOE?

Is the "one year of updates and then renew" pricing model for DevUtils.app common? Upgrading a license for new OS support seems somewhat reasonable (eg Little Snitch selling a new license for Catalina -> Big Sur) but I wouldn't want to pay for anything that isn't a major version update

This is more than just a browser extension right? The data displayed comes from a server component?
