There's no easy way to manage your promo codes and we made a pretty awesome solution. We're a team of 2, a full-stack dev and a designer, working 100% remotely.

Status: We're now in private beta and we are onboarding new developers every day.

Next steps: - buy validator.com (it's 95k, so it'll take some time) - create a blog series with independent developers sharing their stories (similar to IndieHackers) - iterate.

This sounds great, I’m looking forward to access.

One question from a business standpoint: is the effort based on a market segment or problem that has been validated as worth worth addressing?

No, the promo codes thing is not that much worth because we intend to make it free. It doesn't cost us that much to distribute them, only the hours spent in development.

By onboarding more developers, we can start to solve real problems and start charging for that. This starts as a side-project to give back to the community, not as a business.
