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 💪🏼

LFG
Up and running with the new "railway dev" command that runs your entire stack locally (server, databases, etc)!

Seeing a bunch of issues with GitHub action runners today 😮‍💨

Here's the latest

Anyone able to test out Client Certificates in an upcoming beta?

The best way to wake up 🥰

Working flawlessly so far! 🤘🏼

Some cool stuff heading my way...

Working on a multi-part response viewer that uses the same preview system as regular responses, so it'll support images, PDFs, CSV, etc!

Uhh... two 5-person teams in one day!?

My bet with Yaak's "honor system" commercial-use license was that individual compliance would be low (around 1%), and that companies would dominate revenue once adoption picked up.

Turning out to be true! Another team purchase today 🥳

November recap for @yaak.app

💹 MRR: $1806 (+37%)
💰 Revenue: $2555 (-17%)
💼 Subscribers: 353 (+20%)

Big boost this month from October’s traffic spike expiring trials. Revenue is temporarily lagging because $3k in invoices haven’t cleared yet.

Finally got around to tracking historical MRR for Yaak.

Stripe makes this impossible to get (30-day event history limit), so I copied the historical daily data from the Stripe dashboard, and run a cron to compute and store MRR into a daily bucket.

Alright, the latest beta now has working ARM Linux builds!

A new contender enters the ring

Alright, I updated all the bundled plugins to define preview args
November 27, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Playing with a way for plugins to define which args it can show as a preview.

It's opt-in, so not defining will keep the current behavior of showing "…"

Getting a bit tired of doing changelog/video/social/roadmap for every release. Basically takes an entire day to prep.

Probably worth it, though?

Sometimes you want to be able to disable auth based on the active environment. Now you can!

Simply define any template you want and auth will be disabled if it renders to a falsey value.
