First of all, kudos to you for building and shipping a product that you can charge for. The website looks really good and polished. I don’t mind the countdown and introductory pricing. If people find it useful, this should definitely help with conversion. Good luck!


Thanks a lot for the support, @sbm15!


Can you share details on how you implemented paid license keys in a browser extension? I have an extension already written that is like to do the same with. And will the chrome and Firefox stores still host it?


This extension can be used for free without paying unfortunately by changing the code. I don't think there is any solid way of preventing that.


I’m not interested in a hack-proof system.

not op, just was toying with it and was happy with outcome, not affiliated or anything, was just good experience to work with, maybe will help you


Looks very cool. Thanks! And pricing is reasonable.



1. Try to pick a product in a large market. 2. Look at a few existing products and identify a couple of things that you can do better than the incumbents. 3. See if you can solve those 2-3 problems better than others. 4. Speak to potential users and find 10 people who would be willing to use and pay for your product. I can’t emphasize this enough. 5. Give yourself a timeline on how long do you want to persist with an idea. 6. Rinse and repeat. 7. Stay at it and keep iterating. 8. Good luck!
