And finally, here's the story behind NotionExtensions' launch and its first mysterious, paying customer 👻

@thdxr I was the one who raised the issue on GitHub. Sorry for ruining your day (mine was ruined yesterday 🙃)

@jjvelazs Cuál es la principal ventaja que le ves a que sea open source? Poder hostearlo vosotros mismos?

[Stoil Stoychev @stoilsky]

We're launching QA Jobs (The premier job board for QA and Test Automation pros) with @braisthinks on Product Hunt today.

Take a look and give us an upvote maybe? https://t.co/JkrjqPzvfy

[Brais @braisthinks]

@jjvelazs According to Twitter’s estimation, he would still have pretty good revenue with just 2% of his followers…

What should I offer in special content?

I've shared so many @NotionHQ tools over the year.

But what I don't really credit are the ones behind those tools.

15+ Notion developers you need to follow:

Made:
• NotionExtensions (https://t.co/bCdWxzi067)

[Brais @braisthinks]

Also, yesterday I launched a new small feature: PDF links 🔗
I implemented it because I need it for another project, so maybe others find it useful too!
I'm fixing one last bug and then I will notify users over email 🥳

[Brais @braisthinks]

Still lots of things to do in terms of marketing for https://t.co/USGUxHRT0X
The SEO is pretty bad, specially for the Google Calendar integration, which is the main source of revenue.
I'll be looking into that next 🕵

[Brais @braisthinks]

I'll share more details soon.
But looks like the Google Calendar - notion integration is still the main feature that makes users subscribe to the Pro plan of https://t.co/USGUxHAi9p
And @Reddit is still the main source of new users.

[Brais @braisthinks]

After a pretty bad month in terms of new paying users, I decided to focus as much as possible on marketing this month. And I think... it's working!? 😺
Despite of increasing pricing last week, I already got more sales this month than in whole February!

[Brais @braisthinks]

@samuandreo @stripe @PaddleHQ It depends on the case.
One was because of not having enough money, another due to the new RBI regulations (https://t.co/zHrjsiw2Yd), and the last one because of unknown reasons.
I try to encourage people to pay the yearly subscription, but many prefer to pay monthly :)

[Brais @braisthinks]

Lately, I've experienced how annoying failed payments are 😣
I have to contact each customer manually, wait for their response (*if* they actually respond) and act accordingly.
I'm using @stripe, but I wonder if other alternatives like @PaddleHQ provide a nicer solution for this.

[Brais @braisthinks]

In relation to this... I'm increasing NotionExtensions pricing again 🙃 I think it's fair for the things it offers at the moment.
All in all, I'm preparing an email to let current users subscribe with the old price within the next 2 days.

I really hope that there are no bugs in the @googlechrome extension, because it takes ages to publish any new change :/
Here is the link:

[Brais @braisthinks]

After two weeks of fixing bugs raised by early users, I decided to move NotionExtensions' sidebar to public beta!
And then some new users started to experience issues when signing in 😬
It seems like no matter what you do, there will always be bugs 🐛😂
#buildinpublic

[Brais @braisthinks]

Yesterday I finally revealed to all NotionExtensions users what I have been working on for the last weeks: The new NotionExtensions sidebar 🥳
They will no longer need to visit https://t.co/xBr3txUZja to improve their experience in @NotionHQ
https://t.co/Mk2Aa4AQIN

[Brais @braisthinks]

The issue is fixed now though (thanks to @getsentry ♥)

[Brais @braisthinks]

Also sending a few more invites to the beta today!

[Brais @braisthinks]

New NotionExtensions sidebar feature! Users can now edit multiple properties of all the pages of a @NotionHQ database

@thevarunraja @googlechrome I've finally ported the extension to manifest v3, but I'm starting to think that the "speedier reviews" statement was just a bait by @googlechrome's team 😂

[Brais @braisthinks]

Today I finally got the new NotionExtensions' sidebar approved by @googlechrome's team.
And I even fixed a couple of bugs raised by early users! 🐛🎉
Planning to send more invites tomorrow!
#buildinpublic

[Brais @braisthinks]

@thevarunraja @googlechrome Thank you!
Yes, it takes quite a while 🥲
I've been thinking on porting the extension to manifest v3 because apparently that speeds up the reviewing process. But I'm not 100% sure if it's worth it or not.
