Tell us about what you’ve been up to! Has the business been growing?

We've continued to improve the existing platform, focusing on reducing time-to-value for new customers. We also released a new product, which perfectly complements the existing offering. I've added a full-time intern who handles customer support, helps with development tasks, and even contributes to marketing. We're heavily using AI tools to make us more efficient. Customer acquisition cost is near zero thanks to strong organic reach. Growth has been excellent, with MRR growing by 113% compared to last period. I'm focused on getting to $20k MRR, which should be achievable with our new video growth strategy and getting our software into other channels like the Chrome webstore. Our mailing list has grown quickly thanks to the free trial system and we're using it to kickstart the new marketing efforts by driving video traffic/reviews using our email list.
