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 did u grow the twitter followers at the start?

I'll write about that soon in my newsletter.

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on that :)

Your profile page is nice and notiony. I'm kinda new to Notion and curious if that custom desing / layout is defined within notion?

Nope, it's just CSS. https://github.com/trungdq88/tonydinh-com

I like Notion style too!

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)

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.

Post is interesting, I give you that. But why should we ignore categorization all of a sudden? "Show HN" is strictly about something people can use or play around with, not just read, this is defined in the rules/guidelines of HN itself. For the same reason good titles are enforced, so it gets easier to navigate everything.

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

Good question. I can't seem to find out anything about them on their website. It's just buzzword after buzzword. WTF is "revenue delivery"? I figure a pricing page would tell me what they do, but they don't even have one of those.

For those who wonder Paddle pricing like I was, it is in their privacy page :)

Paddle Checkout: 5% of SRP plus $0.50 https://paddle.com/legal/

Hate to be the party pooper, but the fact that you could talk about nothing but marketing and money and never spend a single word telling us what the software even does, speaks volumes on where your priorities lie. I am left with the impression that the software probably does nothing special, or even useful, and if I ever have any issues with it or suggestions for improvement, I will probably be completely ignored unless I come up with a way it would make you more money. I find it strange that this type of personality even calls themselves a hacker.
