3 months from launching a paid plan, Yaak passed $250 MRR.

57 customers from 6k monthly active users (1% conversion).

Only 40x left to go to get to $10k MRR -- a sustainable income ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

LFG

Just a bit so far, but I'll give it a couple weeks for people to start using it. The trial is 30 days

Yaak is the #1 trending GitHub repo for the second day in a row.

It's so easy to set up infra on @railway.com

Need an image proxy? Add โžŸ Template โžŸ Image proxy
Need PgBouncer? Add โžŸ Template โžŸ PgBouncer

Way easier than AWS or VPS.

$26/mo for all this ๐Ÿคฏ

WTF. ๐Ÿคฏ

Postman's server's are down and you can't even use desktop app with your local APIs!

This is exactly why I made yaak.app. It works offline, is open source, has no telemetry, no VC funding, and even syncs with Git!

Give it a try and let me know what you think โœจ

IntelliJ is now so full of bugs that I might churn.

Is it a coincidence this happened right after they went all in on AI?
