I built an app to design and print labels on thermal, inkjet and laser printers. It’s built with electron and it uses a handful of native modules to communicate with windows/mac usb devices. That way, a user can literally download my app, plug-in their printer, and start printing. Works great with zebra, ROLLO, and color inkjet label printers like Primera/Epson.
I’m trying to figure out how to market my app as a tool for desktop dynamic image generation. My app is kind of like bannerbear but for the desktop. For example, you can import a XLS or CSV and batch generate images from the data. That’s the essence of my app. It just so happens that “printing labels” is the marketable niche.
I’m selling licenses using a custom system I built using stripe/JWT and even do a subscription with expirations. It’s been a blast.
Revenue from MRR is in the thousands and one-time licensing sales is 6 figures. I couldn’t have built this without the awesome OSS JS community.
