48 Hours, $2398 in Sales and my story 😄

I wrote something like this back in 2023. Life was slower then. Fewer people knew me, fewer people used what I built. Now, more people are coming, using my work, trusting it. And sometimes I think… should I clean things up, remove old things that don’t move anymore? But I don’t. I just let them stay.

When I started building saas, I didn’t know what would happen. I was just one person, sitting with a laptop, trying to build something simple. I had a job before. Life was okay. But inside, I felt something was missing. So I left that path and started this, not knowing where it would go.

The early days were quiet. I built, I changed things, I made mistakes. Many things didn’t work. Many nights felt very long. Sometimes I forgot why I even started. But still, I kept going, slowly.

Then I launched Slashit App. I didn’t expect much. Maybe a few people would try it, maybe no one would care.

But in last 48 hours, things changed.
-> made $2,398 in sales.
-> 33 people paid for it.
-> 100 people installed it.
-> got featured in the Top 9 deals on AppSumo.
-> 6 people left reviews, and all were 5 stars.

And behind this… there was a lot happening that people don’t see. In the last 48 hours, I kept showing up. I asked users to leave honest reviews. I sent 100 outreach messages. I posted 2 times on Reddit, and it got 25,000+ views, mostly from the USA. I posted once on IndieHackers. I also started using bizreply to find keyword mentions and shared my thoughts there.

At the same time, I was fixing things. Small bugs, small updates, based on real user feedback. Trying to make it a little better, again and again. And yes… I slept only 4 hours in 48 hours 😊 I know… not a good idea 🤨 But when you care about something, you don’t really count time.

These are small numbers for many people. But for me, they feel big. Because behind each number, there is a person. Someone I don’t know. Someone who chose to trust something I made.

Sometimes I look at the user list. I don’t know their stories. I don’t know where they live. But they are there. Quietly using the product. And somehow, they stay in my mind.

Now I understand something very simple. People don’t want too much. They just want something that helps them, saves their time, makes things a little easier. They want to feel that someone cared while building it.

This is not just a tool for me. It holds my time, my fear, my hope. A small part of my life is inside it. I don’t know how big it will become. Maybe it will grow a lot, maybe it won’t. But I feel something now.
