We acquired a WordPress plugin company for $0, launched just one plugin, and made $80k in 6 months.
No ads. No influencers. No marketing spend.
Here is the exact step by step process and why this worked so well 👇
#BuildInPublic
people who don't understand analytics are set to build Analytics software 🤦🏻
its a data problem to solve, storage, manage, query, speed, DDoS and tons more..
This guy built analytics software because he can't afford $15/m and probably has no idea how to store this massive data properly and query them.
@JackEllis building analytics software all his life and i'm sure, many customers pay him over thousand bucks monthly.
It was VC vs Indie now it’s Indie vs Indie 😀
Introducing DataBull 🎉
I was paying $39/mo for DataFast just to see which posts made me money.
That's $468 a year. Forever. And it goes up as your traffic grows.
So I built my own.
Same idea: revenue by traffic source.
$29 lifetime. Unlimited sites. Unlimited events. Lifetime updates.

first service setup is Postshiba by @jessethanley - even though we've no website yet..
can't wait to use Postshiba for ThriveDesk!
An agency WordPress customer asked refund for their renewal said, all of their customers moved to Shopify.
we asked Claude to ran an investigation.
turns out, 27 active license of which 9 changed our plugin name and everything is same!
we don't issue refund on renewal but if customer ask we normally honor that.
out of all collaboration we've made, i found Indian founders/marketers are most dishonest one.
we've internal tool to monitor our product mention and every week i found they remove our product mention/link from the site without any notice.
monitor your collab effort and you'll be surprised!
We just replaced our decade old HRM software with Rust and it’s only 20mb in size!
We’re making the core light as feature and you can build any feature. Just point your agent to the doc.
Software team killing each other 🤦♂️
just built a minimal ai visibility tracker inside our mission control.
i ran it via claude and team can see the output viusally.
Same customer, same card. One payment went through and others blocked! @stripe any help?
