How have you initially launched it so hat it got traction? Sending mails to your friends? at an event? posting in FB group?

If you plan to use NodeJS and ReactJS in future - please feel free to reach out (email under profile section). I am a freelance consultant and have built and launched my own products (end to end). They are not monetizing and I freelance currently.

And what is the reason for not having a teaser video? I hear they improve the download rates.

Absolutely, look out for one in 3.5
