Hey,
Thanks for signing up to my newsletter for founders. And thanks to my friend Michal for sponsoring:
How did this app save time and money validating their mobile strategy?
Uptime Monitoring implemented push notifications to alert users about outages.
At their customers’ request, they also designed a native widget showing live SLA metrics, perfect for founders to share during conversations and demos.
All done with Appio.so in under an hour.

Congrats to TiinyHost (affiliate) for making $1m since it started.
It's a SaaS for hosting anything from web projects to PDFs and has grown a lot with long-tail SEO.
🤯 Woah - I've made over $1 million from this tiiny little app.

Gummy Search shutting down
Fed is shutting down Gummy Search after growing it to $35k.
He couldn't get permission to use the Reddit API so he's closing the app to new customers
"GummySearch relies on Reddit’s API to generate its real-time audience insights.
While GummySearch has been working with Reddit to obtain a commercial license for compliant access to Reddit's Data API, we were not able to reach an agreement that aligns with Reddit's Data API Usage policies.
As a result, GummySearch must become a non-commercial product by the end of November or shut down."

But in this case, I think its the best one for current @gummy_search customers, as well as myself
I wrote up the "why" here, as well as what what to expect in this final chapterhttps://t.co/LXxLJVWyXa
