On a journey to create a simple file sharing experience at https://warpbin.com

Also working on a reddit lead gen and awareness app. (Soon)
One thing I've been wanting is to be able to really bite my teeth into my Stripe data more and play around with it to my heart's content. I wanted more insights and couldn't find that satisfaction on Stripe. So I made my own dashboard. Check it out.

I always thought a FAQ section is a great way to get more information across to visitors of our landing page. For the people that want to know more, they can click on the FAQ items and get more information. But our findings say it doesn't really matter.

I'm trying something new in regards to my landing page. I had GIFs of my product in both Desktop/Mobile version where I was uploading/downloading images.

Today, I added an interactive demo which largely mimics how the drive page works on https://warpbin.com

It took a few weeks after launch before I could get the free trial working. It wasn't due to a technical problem, though figuring out how I would implement in Stripe was a challenge.

Continuing on with my posts of building this map view.

#buildinpublic #saas

This tool by itself took several days to build.
Then, the issue was I wanted it to be integrated with my warpbin drive. But I didn't want to load original sized images into the map.

I posted yesterday about my blunder with the map tool which brought no traffic. It doesn't end there, I thought it would be so big that I needed to also build a geotag tool alongside it.

Here is a tool I initially spent the longest time building thinking it would be my killer product and provide great value for people that choose warpbin: https://warpbin.com/map .

I thought it was cool to be able to navigate through the world map.

My product has great synergy with using a QR code. In fact it's part of the main sell.

Initially I had a basic QR code I would provide, but thought it would be important to invest in a good QR code generator.

You can see it at: https://warpbin.com/qr-code

I want to shout out Screen to Gif. https://www.screentogif.com/

Really easy to make GIFs for your landing page demos.

#buildinpublic #saas

An example.

Imagine waking up to this image

p.s. it's real

...

p.s.s. but other currencies also use the "$" symbol

It's just 9 USD. But the first time I saw it, I paniced. I was sure I got scammed, or something terrible happened with my payment link.

I even added a blog post that points to this specific convert heic page on my blog: https://blog.warpbin.com/convert-heic-and-heif-files-the-complete-guide/

The blog overall has not been getting any traffic at the moment, but the pages are indexed on google.

Let's see where this SEO goes.
February 2, 2025 at 5:00 PM
To help with the page, but mostly for SEO, I added a FAQ section on the page that helps explain things further. I am not sure how much this method actually as my google traffic has been negligible, but I'm assuming it should help.

This is Free HEIC image converter I have. As mentioned in other posts, its a free tool I offer. I use the code to also help me in my main product to convert heic to jpg, so it fulfills two purposes.

I tried to keep the UI clean while still using SEO keywords

Reddit is really helpful for getting traffic even if you are not ranking for SEO at all.

This convert heic to jpg query on google has the reddit pages on the 6th result.

When you open that top result, https://warpbin.com/convert-files is one of the options.

The past two days I've talked about the search traffic and my attempts at SEO through Google and Bing for https://warpbin.com

I have over 55 pages indexed on Google currently.

These are blogs, tool pages, use case pages, landing pages, and more.

Bing Webmaster has been more informative than Google Search Console in determining what users are querying on. Even despite the fact I have much less clicks on Bing, it gives a bit more indication for how my SaaS https://warpbin.com shows up for people. #buildinpublic

My attempts at SEO using google search console for https://warpbin.com

Suffice it to say that SEO and google search has been largely negligible and unsuccesful. Perhaps there is a slight rise in the search results but as you can see, Warpbin is the top query

I gave a look into the traffic from reddit yesterday and how it is generally going to the free tools on my SaaS page.

The conversion rate to even clicking on my "try free demo" is anywhere from 0% to 0.5% depending on the tool. (QR code seems to convert more)

Here is my traffic from Reddit as seen on Umami for my SaaS https://warpbin.com #buildinpublic

This is over the last 90 days.

My bounce rate is quite high at 91% currently from reddit raffic.
Visit duration is at 52s.

Here is my attempt at using Google Ads for my SaaS https://warpbin.com

I would run ads for $10-$20 a day until I thought it was completely unsuccessful and stopped it.

679 Clicks over 3 months.
$766 total cost.
54 conversions (not actual conversions though)

Let me share our analytics so far using @umami_software. This is the traffic since we launched Warpbin (https://warpbin.com)

Traffic has almost all been from reddit comments in relevant threads. #buildinpublic #warpbin

Our tech stack for https://warpbin.com from day 1 has been #Rust, #NextJs deployed on a droplet using @digitalocean. Our database is Postgres using @neondatabase. Neon.tech has outstanding DX.

Our journey started when we realized there wasn't a good option for non-subscription, hassle free, account free file sharing. After a backpacking trip, we how were we going to combine all of our photos?

That's where the idea for Warpbin came.
January 23, 2025 at 5:00 PM
We have just hit the 3 month mark with the launch of Warpbin (https://warpbin.com). Currently we have served 145 drives, 47 GB of upload storage, and almost 700GB of download!

All this information is available on our landing page in an effort to be transparent.
