Sorry if I misused the Show HN. In this case, I want to show the journey and the story more than the product, and want to let people know I'm available for any questions like other Show HN posts. (I don't think the product itself is very interesting for the HN crowd)

IMHO, "Show HN" is to show your creations. You should put the title without "Show HN" when you're linking to a blog post, even if it is about a product that you've created.

Well noted, thanks!

I find your post very interesting. I don’t care what the “rules” about Show HN are, this is a good read and that’s it. Thanks for sharing.

I agree - this post is really interesting as I've been following Black Magic for a while and doesn't bother me that much but perhaps it doesn't belong in the Show HN section as it's not showing anything new technically

I use Paddle.com

Is there any reason for using Paddle instead of Stripe or something else?

They have a comparison here: https://paddle.com/compare/stripe/

Frustrating that I can't find a price.

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 do you source the data to provide such analytics? Do you have to be constantly scraping Twitter?

Yes :)

On average, I send 3 requests/minute/user to Twitter API.

Being able to see a quick video of each feature in the pricing page is a genius idea ! How do you generate those and keep them up to date though ? Congrats for your success

Thanks!

I recorded every single feature with LICECap and update them manually.
