I’m subscribed to @marclou's newsletter, and earlier this month I decided to implement a few of his viral product principles, specifically #1, which says a viral product doesn’t need a free plan. So said and done: removed it.
Kelo is now fully paid, and honestly the result has been surprising. I was scared growth in subscriptions would stall, but the opposite happened... they haven’t stopped growing!

@LukaTheFounder I am an unemployed Software Engineer too, let's connect and I hope you for the best!

I got laid off after 9 years of full-time employment.
I’m 31. A dad to a 3-month-old. No job. No safety net. No more pretending the “stable path” is actually stable.
So I’m betting on myself.
I missed the dot-com boom. I missed early crypto. I’m not missing AI.
Becoming a solo founder has never been more possible, and getting laid off might’ve been the kick I needed.
I’m building in public, figuring it out live, and looking to connect with other founders doing the same.
Building something cool? Reach out.

I made a game where you have to ship a startup every 30 days. If you miss the deadline, you die ☠️ It's called SHlPORDIE.COM. It uses the same game mechanics that kept me addicted to World of Warcraft: You start as a Noob Pirate, and you complete quests to level up, like buying your 1st domain or getting 1,000 visitors. There's Discord for the social part, but you need to keep shipping to stay in (otherwise, everybody can see you walked the plank). Since 2022, I've launched one startup per month, and it has changed my life. I hope this game will change yours too.

@pcshipp Do you create a seperate RevenueCat project for your development? because your local tests can be seen as new customers also. Be careful with that because I faced this issue.
