Mailbrew is 1-year old today 🄳

šŸ’° 0 to $7,500 MRR in 12 months

Our progress so far and what's next 🧵
We committed the first line of code to the Mailbrew codebase on September 9, 2019.
A month later, the first-ever brew was sent 😱

Featuring @macstoriesnet, of course.

We went full-circle yesterday when @viticci himself became a Mailbrew subscriber.
Twitter, Reddit, and RSS in a daily email. This was our initial value prop.
The newsletters inbox and read later features grew our ambition, though.
For me, @linuz90, and almost 1000 paying subscribers, Mailbrew is handling 99% of our daily information diet.
We are building the definitive tool to unplug from feeds and stay informed on your own terms. Mindful tech.

Enabling deep work, think-weeks, and everything in between, without having to completely forgo social media.
So, what's next?

Make people comfortable with Mailbrew being the only app/email they open all day or all week.

This is our north star.
We'll enable that with:

1/ More sources. Hell, let users build their own.

2/ Smarter brews. Increase signal-to-noise ratio even more.

3/ Step up in our tech to digest and process even more content.

Summarizing, here's how we got to $7,500 MRR with a B2C SaaS:

Tirelessly iterating on the idea, listening to customer feedback, and focusing on our vision of the ideal information diet, ultimately creating a tool that we love and use every day ourselves.

How I got to the HN front page three times in a row. A short guide.
In the past month, I managed to get to the Hacker News front page three times in a row with these posts:

1) Show HN: Write-Only Interface for Twitter
2) Getting our first thousand customers in one day
3) SaaS we happily pay for
Those posts took me 1-2 hours to write and resulted in 40k+ visits to this blog, hundreds of signups for Typefully and Mailbrew, and ~300 new Twitter followers.

It's an incredible channel if you are a founder with a story to tell.

Here's my process:
