Good job, may I ask , what was your marketing strategy? Did you engage a lead generation company, SEO? How did you gain visibility in the virtual shops?
Used social media for promotion?
Pricing structure?
If those questions are too profound, feel free to not address them, but either way, this is impressive for a solo Indy dev.
And what is the tech stack?
Do you listen to users feature requests and bug reports?
I have a project in mind myself and all the above questions I wouldn't know how to handle.
I have not engaged in any outside marketing consultancy, lead gen or SEO. I have done some stuff myself, written blog posts and tried my hand at basic marketing tasks, but honestly i don't have much time for it. For gaining visibility, i mostly rely on app store optimization or paid ads.
Tech stack is swift, and python on the backend. I do listen to user requests and bugs, in fact I get tons of great feedback from my users with how quickly i respond to their issues, usually resolving issues within an hour, all on my own. It takes up a decent chunk of time, but I do care a lot about the customers, so that makes it worth it.
Tried signing up, but (presumably) your configuration is pointing the signup link in the email at your local Dev environment...
I tried replacing localhost with wax.run, but it didn't do anything.
Lastly, considering you are all about marketing and growth, you'll need a landing page that demonstrates this. As in, your landing page needs to be better than most landing pages. While I'm all about minimalism, I found it quite jarring to just land on a page with a half moon on it, which doesn't really do anything.
Some words about who you are would go a long way. There is a "team" link in the navigation and that also doesn't go anywhere (without a login presumably)
Just some pointers. Pm me when we can sign up, because if you are the people who solve marketing for me, that would easily be the biggest revolution in my entrepreneurial journey. I hate marketing so much.
Thanks for the feedback! I clearly made this comment prematurely, but the interest pushed to get a reasonable landing page in place and implement the login in production. Let me know what you think of the extended pitch (click "what is this"): https://www.wax.run/
Can you send me a note mike@wax.run ? Would like to stay in touch as we get closer to launching.
