Revenue Watcher is a carefully curated database of revenue numbers reported directly by the founders of startups and indie projects. Numbers are sourced from platforms like Twitter, Hacker News, YouTube, Starter Story, and Indie Hackers.
One serious suggestion. Please change the red background colors. Eyes are hurting. Can't look for more than 30 seconds. As myself an UI/UX designer, if you need help, let me know.
Hey π
I started curating revenue numbers whenever I saw founder post them on Twitter, Hacker News, etc. a few months ago. Haven't talked much about the project so far since I first wanted to find out if the data collected this way is interesting at all.
I find it really interesting to see how projects evolve over time and like that the raw numbers paint a realistic picture of what a typical entrepreneurial journey looks like. I've also started to add some further data (likes on Reddit, Twitter etc, organic traffic, Google ads spend) that can help to understand why a project succeeds.
So I've decided to share the project! It's still fairly basic, so any kind of feedback is appreciated.
Would love to hear what you think!

@jakob_greenfeld Analytics is a good idea! I see what a great job you have done. I will definitely get acquainted with your product. And I really hope that the project inqoob, which we have been working on for almost a year, will also fall within the scope of your research).
Google ads and overall ads spend will be a really nice feature to have. I guess it will support all the "lets make it realistic" approach a lot. Great job, Jakob!
The red is a bit too much on the eye, but great resource overall for the public to check out and find more info about the small products that they use and love.
