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 I’m on my way to becoming crazy πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Playing with a new way to combine the best of AI and standard (fast and cheap) scrapers.

Loving the results so far 😍

This week in your @MrScraper_ account!

#buildinpublic
And @MrScraper_ AI is live! πŸš€

🎁 Sending the first batch of AI credits to MrScraper customers.

βœ‰οΈ Once OpenAI increases my $ cap, I'll send more AI credits to the waitlist users.

Consider sub if you want to support an indie maker or skip the line. Thanks! πŸ™

MRR for @MrScraper_ keeps growing each month, but it still feels too slow 🐌

Have you experienced the same? Does it gain momentum eventually, or am I making any mistakes? πŸ˜₯

Tried ads, content/seo, Reddit, Twitter, newsletter promos, affiliate campaigns, etc.

#buildinpublic
MrScraper AI is nearly ready for launch! πŸš€

I just have to integrate it with the current subscription plans and add any required payment links.

πŸ’Έ Free test credits available for the first beta testers!

These comments give me so much energy! πŸ’ͺ✨

Feels so good to be building something that's helpful for other people.

#buildinpublic
Decided to translate @MrScraper_'s website and app to other locales! πŸ—£οΈπŸŒ

I feel like it will be easier to get the first customers from niche markets.

Starting with Japanese πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅. Once I've coded the translation keys, it will be faster to add more languages.

#buildinpublic
Extended free trials and notified affected users.

Also created a lifetime discount of 15% as an apology.

Sharing the code here as well: MR15OFF 🎁

After spending $152 on Reddit ads, I discovered that I had not been applying free trial credits to the Google/GitHub login methods 😱

Only users who used email could try the app.

How's your day going? πŸ₯²

βœ… 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 πŸ‘€

#buildinpublic
I think Reddit ads are going well so far?

πŸ’Έ Spent $72 on Reddit ads
πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ Gained +1 subscriber, and another one is nearly closed
πŸ’° Customer Lifetime Value is currently at +$232

#buildinpublic

$500 πŸ’Έ currently allocated to:

πŸ’Œ Newsletter sponsorships
πŸ–₯️ Google Ads campaign

Where can I spend the remaining $500 to test other marketing channels? πŸ€”

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.

😑!

#buildinpublic
Putting the final touches πŸ’… on the @MrScraper_ AI app!

Progress is a bit slower than expected, but I'm having so much fun stepping out of my PHP comfort zone 🦾

*MrScraper customers first, then first come, first served

#buildinpublic
And... *free tier is gone* πŸ‘‹

Let's see if this can:
🧘 Reduce my workload on support
πŸ’Ή Increase revenue

Next step is to refactor pricing and add singe-use token packages!
