9 months: January to September. It took 2 weeks after launch to get the first paying customer.
The product is a SaaS progressive web app for budgeting. It's $12/year for the premium version.
The main challenges were adding the last few features, making it production ready, and polish. The 80-20 rule really applied here (it took 20% of time to get 80% of the way), and that's only for the MVP! I still work on the app almost every day. :)
I'd say the hardest part now that I have many customers is not breaking anything for those existing customers.

- noidax 10y agoWow awesome job you have done there! Mind sharing how you manage to get your first client?
- aeharding 10y agoI believe I got my first client by posting on Reddit, and from there it organically spread by people sharing it. It is a side project though, and I'm not under pressure to acquire customers.
- ng-user 10y agoI know it's nit picky, but in the 'About' section on Financier's website the first sentence under '100% offline web app' reads "Click the button above to go the the app"... I just wanted to let you know it bugged me a little but other than that it looks very nice!
- kirubakaran 10y agoIt looks great! Could you share more details, like how many paying customers you have etc?
