* After some reflection I can see that this is too early to show. There should be publicly available links.

Will work on that before posting again - sorry everyone!

It needs to be a bit more controlled than that right now in my opinion. We'll get there very soon. But right now whilst it's so early, with regular breaking changes, it makes sense to stay in the Discord community until there's a published stable release.

There is. Cap is being tested in our Discord.

Making sure it's high quality before just releasing into the wild. People need to be able to trust that it works properly.

Hey I'm trying here it takes time to build something as large as this solo. It's been around 4 months of working on this full-time. I need to be marketing the app at the same time otherwise I'd be launching to crickets. The app is already being used by early access testers in our Discord.

Cap is a full cross-platform Loom alternative. Video sharing is literally the heart of the app and the entire point of it.

Here's a screenshot of a Cap.link shareable link: https://twitter.com/richiemcilroy/status/1767619147674915091

New people to join the community - so testers, yes!

100%! Editing is next in line after the first public release.

Currently in early access testing with folks in our Discord.

Will be available publicly soon!

richiemcilroy··on 0$ upfront affiliate program creator for SaaS
That's for the entry level free plan for testing out whether or not affiliate marketing works for your SaaS. It's $0/month, with a 9% fee per successful referral. Once you can see that it's working and you're gaining referrals, you can change to a fixed monthly plan that has no commission...

What's wrong with that?

Thank you!
richiemcilroy··on I sold my $0 revenue SaaS side project for $4.5k
Just talking about my experience with it. Considering it's completely free for founders/sellers, it's awesome.
richiemcilroy··on Show HN: Question.to – Launched the Landing Page
Hey everyone! I recently launched the landing page for my new product Question.to.

I'm really excited for this product. I had the idea a few months ago when creating an FAQ page for a different product and thought it would be cool if users could ask questions directly on the page. Having answered questions on your landing page is great for SEO, as well as building trust with users/potential customers. Question.to makes the process of receiving questions from users easy, and the process of embedding them on your site really simple.

You can reserve your username for free! :)

richiemcilroy··on Show HN: I created a little tool with more than 180 SEO tips with videos
Amazing!
richiemcilroy··on I built an SEO tool that won't break the bank
This is great. Unlocks so many opportunities for people wanting to understand their current SEO position/learn how to improve it without a huge budget.

You stop xo

Hey! I've built the tool so that you can keep regenerating copy until you find an output that you're happy with. It's a tool to assist with the creation of blogs, website copy, etc. So it's not perfect... but it saves a lot of time. I have 10's of agencies using it to help their copywriters write SEO copy faster. You can either use the demo, signup for a free trial (2000 free words), or view the 100% AI generated blog post that's available.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I use Next.js and TailwindCSS.

Hey! Abandoned checkout/cart emails fall under the "legitimate interest" section of GDPR. Since the customer is near the end of the sales funnel and has shown enough interest, it is justifiable to send them a link back to complete their purchase. A clear unsubscribe link is included in every email.

Haha! That's actually a great analogy. Thanks for this.

Hey thank you, I appreciate that! Yeah I'd say Recover is more (at the moment) for recovering lost revenue in terms of potential sales, whereas Stunning seems to be for sending email for payments that have failed for existing customers (that's their focus).

That's actually a great idea! Thank you

Thank you!

Hey, thanks for this! I definitely appreciate that most of the time we do ignore them, I do too! However, there are still those that do click the link and complete the checkout, so it's definitely worth it for the extra revenue that it brings in. In terms of unsubscribers/spam complaints, that should be fine as the email delivery service handles that side of it. Once the user unsubscribes, they won't be sent any Recover emails in the future.
