Solo founder of Okiela (non‑code, FP&A background, building from Vietnam)

Over the past few days I’ve been shipping critical improvements to Okiela’s payment flow via Polar (built on Stripe), so that early users can upgrade from Free → Pro ($29/mo) smoothly and I can finally see real, healthy cashflow.

The backend and Polar integration are stable, but since Feb 27 (VN time) several frontend deploys to Vercel have failed. That means a lot of UX and billing fixes are merged in code, but not yet live.

-------------

As a non‑technical founder, this is a humbling reminder: infrastructure and deployment health are just as important as unit economics and LTV:CAC.

For everyone trying Okiela via Product Hunt:

– The Free tier is live and stable for CSV uploads (Shopify, Shopee, Lazada).

– If you experience any issues when upgrading to Pro, please email me at support@okiela.io. I’ll respond personally and treat it as a top priority.

Thank you for being part of this early stage. This is not just a launch page – it’s an ongoing, very real build journey from Vietnam.
