💵 Sold yet another single license mega navbar Carrd plugin (US$30)...thanks Austin!
My very first Lemon Squeezy payment notification (since moving over from Flurly yesterday)! But realised I will no longer receive Stripe mobile notifications for my plugins or get any data in it... low key sad 😕

Yeah they don't have app yet. Haha yes maybe can explore Lemon S to IFTTT/Zapier to Telegram. Now I'm also reconsidering options AGAIN cos I prefer to route through Stripe.. thinking of Payhip.
💵 Sold possibly my very first single license startup bundle of Carrd plugins (US$75) outside of the Black Friday deal...thanks Alex!
Researched payment providers - Lemon Squeezy, Payhip, Thrivecart. Decided on Lemon S cos UX more fresh+modern, is MoR, features for digital downloads, affiliate pgm coming up. Thrivecart’s LTD is tempting though, and Payhip has good community features
Designed plugin images that fits the container correctly.. next, making new compressed gifs with right size for the other plugins
Compressed all images on home page using compressor.io based on Lighthouse suggestions
Flurly got shut down by Stripe! 😰 Scrambled all morning to move my plugins over to Lemon Squeezy. 😔 Higher % fees on LS (Flurly 1% compared to LS - $0.50 + 5% of total, with extra 1.5% int'l payment, +1% for PayPal txns, +0.5% for subscription payments) but the UX looks more fresh/modern 🤔

Thanks Carl! Making plugins like crazy the past few days. First this. Then dark mode. Today, password-protected sections in Carrd. Funnnn 🙌
💵 Sold possibly my very first single license video button Carrd plugin (US$30)...thanks Mark!
I fixed the bugs the same day he reported, and he bought the plugin the next day. Prompt effort works! 🔥
🌗 Made my own dark mode plugin for Carrd sites using vanilla JS + lots of CSS - my next paid plugin!
darkmodejs was fun to use but it reversed images (into negative images) which I can't find a fix for. In the end, I dropped darkmodejs and used vanilla Javascript and good ol' CSS to flip all the Carrd elements.

Thanks for the feedback, @CarrdDoni , @AJ10754 ! 🙏
I think this will be my next paid plugin! 😉

Yes! No SCSS, Pug or any of those new libraries/frameworks. Just plain vanilla
Someone asked. I was intrigued to see if it can be done. 1h later...Made a new dark mode Carrd plugin - https://darkmodetoggle.carrd.co/

Potential customer reported a bug in video button plugin where audio continues playing even though video is clicked away out of display. Fixed it and updated landing page and download files. Hope this lands a new customer! 🤑
Just spent the whole day helping a customer fix the testimonial plugin on his site - I really need to fix all the bugs, and remove Bootstrap altogether! 😡

Indeed! I'm gonna cap support requests at 3 max as an indicator to fix the plugin!
Hardcoded the social proof tweets section to static HTML for cleaner look and faster page load, because Twitter's widget.js is just horrible!
This is like my 3rd (and hopefully final) iteration. 1st version was plain Twitter embed. 2nd was Twitter embed with lazy loading using lozad.js. 3rd is responsive static HTML.
What do you think? Does it look better?

Added long overdue social proof to main site
Twitter's widget.js is crazy slow! Stuff I did to speed it up:
- had to add "defer" attribute to the script
- place script at body end
- experimenting with IntersectionObserver API to lazy load script upon scroll point

Added a tutorial for a frequently asked question to the accordionfaqs plugin demo page. Can imagine each demo page to host it's own support docs in future (so that I don't have to copy-paste every time)!

Launched confetti plugin v2 on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/Carrd/comments/10qmrcb/smash_button_spray_confetti_in_carrd/
Updated testimonial slider plugin landing page - https://testimonial.carrd.co
- added real lifel examples of websites using the plugin (social proof!)
- added a new section to showcase how a double slider works (on enquiry by customer)
- added a new section for walk-through tutorial on how to implement the double slider
This my top 3 most sold plugins. Worth an update with more social proof and provide more value.
