Let's follow each other 💪

[Hongbeom @hongbeomp]

I'm thrilled to announce that xbase has gotten its first paying customer 😭 It took nearly two years to reach this point.

Here's the pain I've endured:

• Clashed and parted ways with my CTO co-founder, who was also my best friend
• Began developing xbase on my own (I am a terrible dev)
• Couldn't present at Primer Demo Day due to poor metrics
• Lost our best developer after failing to secure the next round of funding
• Endured a year of "When will you start earning? Just quit and find a real job" from people around me
• Drained our runway and all my savings
• Tried to extend our runway by pivoting xbase to a paid only but faced a 0% conversion rate for two months, leading to a total dropout of our free user base.
• In 2023, I suffered from insomnia, had tonsillitis three times, and visited the dermatologist every two weeks due to stress-related psoriasis.

This small revenue feels like a reward for all the tough times I've been through.

If I hadn't seen the perseverance of indie makers on Twitter like @marclou and @pwang_szn, I would have given up long ago.

I hope my small achievement can inspire others.

Wishing all makers a Happy New Year!

P.S. A huge shout-out to @deepjyoti30_tw, I wouldn't have made it this far without you. I'm really grateful to have you on the team. Let's keep the momentum going! 🏄‍♂️
