#132Your product page (https://blackmagic.so/) is very well-done. My first impression is that it is even one of the best I have ever seen. What tools/frameworks did you use for building the frontend ?

Thanks! You can see the complete tech stack I used here: https://tdinh.notion.site/What-is-my-tech-stack-2fe29f9df531...

Your products all look very well done - just curious, do you build them all yourself (including your awesome landing page)? Congrats on the early growth and best of luck. What a great product - I’ll be looking out for your post on how you built your 13.9k audience!
Yes, I'm a 1-man army :) I used to work on frontend/backend/mobile/devops, so I have the advantage of doing everything on my own. Thanks for the kind words! I'll write another piece about my audience building journey soon!
Impressive output for a single person. How do you organize yourself to get so much done and prioritize the areas you focus on? I work mostly on frontend stuff so when I work on personal projects I tend to focus on that area and neglect other ones. What backend stack are you using?
Overall I think the aesthetic is very polished. Very well done!!!

#135Aren't Show HNs supposed to link to the actual product for people to play with, not a blog post about making money? There's nothing wrong with sharing wins here, or new products. But it feels 'off' to me to see a Show HN next to a braggy blog title (I'm used to seeing plenty of either on their own, though!).
He’s showing us the money.

#136Hello 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…
Isn’t quitting at $400/month a bit premature? That’s $4800 a year, which isn’t even more than one paycheck from a software engineering job.

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.
I agree. OP should have used "Tell HN:"

#138Hate 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 un…
I'm a little suspicious that this could be marketing by one of those guys that message extension authors to sell their user's data. Kind of a, hey look, you could be making money. Why don't you say yes the next time I message you.

#139I am interested to see your article on building an audience. This aspect of the product is often overlooked in favor of the technical details. Congrats on reaching 3k MMR
Thank you! I'll write more about that soon in my next newsletter issue!

Obnoxious comment with a lot of unfounded presumptions. Why so hostile?
Because I don’t even know what the product is after glancing at the page
