16 months in: the story of building EaseNotify (and why I still believe in the problem) A year and a half ago, I wanted to put an announcement bar on a website. The first tool I checked: $49/month. The second: free trial that expired in 7 days and then asked for a card. The third: technically free but with branding so aggressive it looked like a sponsorship deal I hadn't agreed to. That's when I started building EaseNotify. The premise is simple: announcement bars, popups, and countdown timers for any website. No code required. Paste one script, configure from a dashboard, go live in minutes. Free plan that's actually usable. 16 months later, the product works. It's on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow. There's a free plan and paid plans from $3/month. The honest truth: distribution is the hard part. Building the widget took a few months. Getting it in front of the right people is the ongoing project. Right now I'm focused on getting into the Shopify App Store and WordPress plugin directory

Most websites don't lose customers because of bad products. They lose them because visitors never notice important offers, announcements, or social proof. That's why we built EaseNotify. Create announcement bars, countdown timers, promo banners, and more in minutes—without developers or complicated setups. Works with Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, Webflow, and other platforms. Built for small businesses that want more conversions without paying enterprise prices. easenotify.com

Your store visitors aren’t ignoring your products. They’re ignoring the timing. 🐻 The right message at the wrong moment? Annoying. The right message at the right moment? That’s conversion magic. A tiny countdown. A subtle announcement bar. A little social proof. That’s sometimes all it takes to turn: “maybe later” into “add to cart.” 😭 EaseNotify helps ecommerce stores show the right message exactly when visitors are ready to act. Right message. Right moment. Better conversions. #ecommerce #shopify #marketing #saas #conversionrateoptimization

500 launches waitlisted. 100 days already booked. Man… this one feels personal. ❤️ When we started Go Publicly, the goal was simple: Give underrated builders a real chance to get discovered without needing huge budgets, fake hype, or insider connections. Today, seeing 500+ founders, indie hackers, SaaS builders, and creators trusting us with their launches honestly means everything. Some of these products are built after 9-to-5 jobs. Some are built during sleepless nights. Some are people betting on themselves for the first time ever. And now the next 100 days are already stacked with launches ready to go live. That’s wild. To celebrate this milestone, we’re opening a special Premium Launch offer for upcoming founders: 📢Personalized SEO blog written for your product 📢Launch visibility across our ecosystem 📢Long-term Google discoverability instead of “1-day traffic spikes” 📢 Human-written storytelling focused on your product’s real value because launches shouldn’t disappe

DTC brands spend thousands driving traffic. Then lose the customer because: • “Where’s my order?” • Failed delivery updates • COD confusion • No post-purchase communication That’s the silent revenue leak nobody talks about. We built EaseNotify to fix exactly that. Now brands can send: ✅ Real-time WhatsApp order updates ✅ Shipping + delivery alerts ✅ COD confirmation flows ✅ Branded tracking experiences ✅ Review & repeat purchase nudges Without building complicated automations. Most DTC stores obsess over ROAS. But retention, trust, and post-purchase experience are what actually compound revenue. Customers remember the experience after checkout more than the ad that brought them in. Especially in India, where WhatsApp is basically the operating system for commerce 😂 If your support team is drowning in “order update?” tickets, you probably don’t need more agents. You need better communication. Check it out: easenotify.com Would love feedback from DTC founders and op

Building a SaaS in public teaches you one thing very fast: People don’t care about your features. They care if your product actually saves them time. That’s exactly why we built EaseNotify.com Most website owners lose visitors because they reply late, miss leads, or make users wait forever for updates. So we kept it simple: ✔ Instant notifications ✔ Real-time alerts ✔ Easy setup ✔ No bloated dashboard nonsense Every signup we get now feels different because users are actually using the product daily instead of just testing and disappearing. Still early. Still improving every week. Still nowhere near “success” yet. But seeing recurring revenue come from something we built from scratch? That hits different. The goal was never “build another AI SaaS.” The goal was to build something useful enough that people would happily pay every month.

EaseNotify.com — a quietly compounding micro-SaaS in the no-code widget space 📈 What it does: Lets website owners create and schedule announcement bars, countdown timers, and promo widgets without code. One script tag, works on any platform. Why the model is interesting from an MRR perspective: → Low-friction onboarding: Free forever tier with 500 monthly views — converts curious users into accounts before asking for payment. → Aggressive entry pricing: $3/mo Basic plan removes purchase friction; almost everyone who hits the free plan ceiling upgrades. → Platform-agnostic TAM: Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, custom — not locked to one ecosystem. → High retention surface: Once that script tag is in your <head>, you're sticky. Churn risk is low. → Clear expansion path: Basic ($3) → Pro ($6) → likely a future team/agency tier. Solves a real pain: marketers losing hours to dev tickets for what should be a 60-second change.

We built **GoPublicly** to help founders launch their products and get visibility. Simple idea… but execution? Not so simple. Our first version was just a directory. You submit, you get listed. That’s it. Result? Almost no traction. Turns out, “just another directory” isn’t valuable anymore. There are way too many, and most don’t drive real outcomes. So we paused and rethought everything. Instead of being a passive listing site, we started shaping GoPublicly into a **launch platform**: * Structured launches instead of random submissions * Visibility through featured spots and campaigns * More focus on discovery, not just listing We’re still early, but the mindset shift changed everything. Biggest lesson: distribution matters more than just existence. If you can’t help users get seen, they won’t stick. No crazy MRR yet—but now it actually feels like we’re solving a real problem.

We launched EaseNotify early with a lifetime deal, thinking traction would follow. It didn’t. We got 2 users. That forced a reality check. The product was too basic, unclear, and honestly felt like every other announcement bar tool out there. We weren’t solving a strong problem, just adding another option. So we paused and rebuilt. We shifted from a generic “announcement bar tool” to something more use-case driven—focused on helping sites drive conversions through banners like sales promos, updates, and alerts. We improved customization, simplified setup, and added ready-to-use templates so users don’t start from scratch. Biggest lesson: early launch doesn’t matter if your positioning is weak. Lifetime deals don’t fix that. We’ve now relaunched with a clearer direction. No big revenue yet—but this time, it actually feels like we’re building something people might want.
