Die vollständige Geschichte
I'm the self-proclaimed 'winner of Indie Hackers' - if you filter for solo founders with verified Stripe revenue, I come up at the top.
Simple Value Prop
Poshmark incentivizes engagement on its platform, so sellers must share their products frequently. Closet Tools automates this tedious process.
$1/Day Pricing
Ever since launch, it's been priced at a dollar a day - a massive value proposition at a minimal price point.
- MRR: $42K
- Pricing: $1/day
- Built while raising kids + job
