Does anyone have an app that allows users to create embeddable widgets?
How do you validate that the widget is being inserted on a whitelisted domain name?
It sounded so simple, but Iβm on my way to becoming crazy π΅βπ«

Playing with a new way to combine the best of AI and standard (fast and cheap) scrapers.
Loving the results so far π

π Sending the first batch of AI credits to MrScraper customers.
βοΈ Once OpenAI increases my $ cap, I'll send more AI credits to the waitlist users.

MRR for
@MrScraper_
keeps growing each month, but it still feels too slow π
Have you experienced the same? Does it gain momentum eventually, or am I making any mistakes? π₯
Tried ads, content/seo, Reddit, Twitter, newsletter promos, affiliate campaigns, etc.

Decided to translate
@MrScraper_
's website and app to other locales! π£οΈπ
I feel like it will be easier to get the first customers from niche markets.
Starting with Japanese π―π΅. Once I've coded the translation keys, it will be faster to add more languages.

Extended free trials and notified affected users.
Also created a lifetime discount of 15% as an apology.

After spending $152 on Reddit ads, I discovered that I had not been applying free trial credits to the Google/GitHub login methods π±
Only users who used email could try the app.
How's your day going? π₯²

β Finally, I've been able to enable PayPal subscriptions for MrScraper (using Stripe)!
Had to wait a bit since subscriptions require an additional verification step that single payments don't.
Let's see how it goes π

Considering investing $1,000 in marketing for my side-project
@MrScraper_
Want to test various channels, see what works best, and find out how many customers I can get with this budget.
Is this a good move? Or will it be a waste of money?

I have my AI scraper ready and integrated into my web app. However, since I cannot store
#OpenAI
tokens in database, I have to:
1. Build a cross-platform desktop app.
2. Use libraries that I am not accustomed to (can't use the same tech).
3. Build an API.
