News
New public MRR site
A cool new site from Marc Lou - verified revenue details from startups sharing read-only data from their Stripe accounts. It's like the old school IndieHackers list of open startups (before they put this behind a login or perhaps even removed this).
Marc has seemingly already made $8k in ad revenue from this website.
It's interesting to see who is earning what (and how long people will be happy to share details for)
Shipper almost makes $5k in October
Nice to see this bootstrapped company (almost) hit $5k last month.
Shipper is a vibe coding website builder
The makers own the r/saas/ sub-reddit so I imagine that and their social media presence has helped them.
I made $4,975 in October 🎃
