Yet another IH project directory, let's see how it works. https://awesomeindie.com/submit

It's the first step towards virality: giving a happy user a possibility to tweet about their success right after the desired action.

Finally added proper UX: a spinner and progress output, plus final stats. I consider it feature-complete before v2.

Hope I have a more or less polished version by the end of the day. I plan to market it more aggressively next week.

It's been cowboy-style coding until now, and the popup code was a single component that really grew up. I decided to take a break from enhancing the UX/UI and paid back some of the tech debt, separating out 6 new components.

After listening to users on UserBob, I heard that they are still unsure about their privacy, so I added a small Q&A section to https://detoxbox.xyz to address this concern.

A user reported a bug through the feedback form, and he was kind enough to offer a chat and a screen share.

After watching a few user videos from UserBob I realized that my home page isn't clear enough. It looked like users just don't read subheaders. Had to play with fonts a bit and also remove the background image from the cover.

Never too late

I asked for advice on Twitter and @d__raptis showed me how to make my design and copy much much better.

Too much daytime work, will catch up tomorrow.

and even paid to skip the line

I'm starting to submit DetoxBox to various small project catalogs, hoping to get some feedback before going big.

This is the first version that actually asks for money.

I was pretty sure I got it right the first time, so I didn't even test it. This time I spent an hour or two, but I finally got it working.

so that you could unsubscribe in smaller portions or from all mailing lists at once.

I tried to apply for a pre-accelerator, but it looks like I applied for the main program instead. Don't know if it's good or bad, I hope my Startup Visa mentor will help me to fix this mess.

Pitched Detoxbox to two attendees during the networking session.

Because, you know, everybody uses it these days, time to catch up!

Had had not enough sleep today, so preferred to just watch a TV series

Free users will be able to unsubscribe from 5 mailing lists only.

Leave a comment if you want to use the paid features, I'll give you a free pass.

Extpay is a payment solution for browser extensions for those who don't want to write their own. It allows me to avoid setting up a backend, which is sweet.

Today I finally nailed a bug, the dev fixed it, shipped the new version, and within a few minutes, I had it working!
