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

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
