So it all started with me finding an addon on workplace with 30k downloads but it was not working, It was simply an abandoned project
I was building addons already so was looking for stuff to build, I thought maybe I can build it better, and that is how slacknotify.app was born
App has gone through a lot of ups and downs, I launched it on appsumo for a price of $17 for lifetime expecting since its low price I will get sales, well it did not work at all
To a point, I believe to not expect anything, then one fine day one person subscribed for a yearly subscription ( $39/year)
The hope got back and I provided the customer access ( i have not automated provided access after payment )
Just wanted to share so fellow indie hackers can understand that this journey is filled with ups and downs.
if you have any feedback please let me know, I will see you in the next one 👋

What is your overall impression on building on the Google platform? Does Google handle payments and billing for developers or the developer has to use a payment processor like Stripe?
How is your revenue growth now? I am also thinking on building a Google Docs app
i like organic traffic but so far not enough revenue also working on other things
google does not handle payments i use gumroad for it
