Let me share some more details 🧵👇

I started developing FeedHive in early September 2020.

For a long time, it was just a few Lambda's and a small CLI to handle scheduling.

I wrote my tweets in YML files.
Very homemade 😅

I started developing the official FeedHive App in December 2020.

An integral part of the back end is the Twitter API Client I started writing during this time.

It's handling all communication between FeedHive and Twitter.

The client is written in Node.js and TypeScript.
It's Open-Source 👇

🔹 Tech Stack

A lot of you have been asking, so here's a breakdown of the technologies that I've used for FeedHive.

Front End:
- TypeScript
- React
- Chakra UI

Back End:
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- AWS Lambda
- AWS AppSync
- DynamoDB
- Cognito
- GraphQL

In mid-December, the first small group of early adopters started using FeedHive, followed by a second group invited through my newsletter.

Currently, there are 96 users active in the system.
On average, 13 unique users log in every day 😍

30 users logged in on the busiest day.

This also means that FeedHive has a projected retention rate of around 16-18%.

In the world of SaaS, a retention rate of 25% is considered "elite".

Starting out at 16-18% on the MVP is a pretty good indicator of a successful product 🔥

Since January 3rd, FeedHive has delivered:

🔸 299 tweets
🔸 143 retweets

(threads count as one in both)

The majority of these tweets are created by 23 awesome early adopters who were brave enough to start using FeedHive in MVP state 💪

This group of early adopters has been wonderful to work with!

I cannot thank you enough for all the feedback, bug reports, and help 🧡🙏

You all know who you are!

The current users are saying incredible things about FeedHive!

A great example is Dan, who demonstrates how putting his awesome content into structure using FeedHive, has dramatically improved his performance.

This is a great start.
And I'm very happy about this SaaS Product so far.

It's launching in beta during February.
The exact date will be announced soon.

Remember, if you sign up for early access, you get a 50% discount in 2021.
