Give it a try, it's completely free right now.
Concept - make it easy to share updates, and let clients see them without any friction (no signup required for clients). Clients can also react with emoji and comment.
Goals - my day job is making web apps, but I've never shipped a product on my own. With this I wanted to create something that I could actually build, ship, and support end-to-end. So it is pretty simple (maybe too simple?).
Tech stack - NextJS... don't hate me. Next has an annoying amount of magic, but I really like using it. Let's me use React to generate plain HTML, and sprinkle in client-side JS for interactive bits. - Sqlite / Turso. Local dev without needing docker is really nice. - WorkOS authkit, instead of rolling my own auth. - Polar for billing, although billing isn't currently active.
Challenges - The classic problem of getting people to try it out. - Building something completely end-to-end was new for me. For example, setting up the webhooks and coordinating auth and billing isn't hard, but took a bit of thought. - I can't design.
Learnings - Maybe don't even build in billing, or possibly even auth, until people are trying it out.
