I built a tool that stalks Reddit for you. Every time someone mentions your startup on Reddit, it shows up on your @DataFast_ analytics chart with their avatar, upvotes, and subreddit. You can finally see which Reddit post caused that random traffic spike at 3:12 am. Free for all users on Growth.

It took 512 days. This is the hardest thing I’ve done. The analytics market is ultra-competitive, and users perceive data as a vitamin, not painkillers. It took 9 months to grow DataFast to $3k MRR. It was so slow, I thought about giving up many times in the first year. I tried a million things, but these 3 really moved the needle: - I built DataFast for me. I forced myself to ask: “What do I really need?” That’s how the analytics + Stripe angle came up. In other words, I niched down. - I polished the onboarding like a madman once I realized 90% of people who signed up didn’t do anything. Fewer steps, faster AHA moment. You’re a drug dealer, and your users are craving. Give them dopamine ASAP. - I built shareable features. I added 𝕏 mentions on top of the traffic chart, built a real-time map, created a stock market app for analytics, and more. My customers did marketing for me. All I had to do was give them a reason to. The hardest part really is the beginning. Once momentum picks up, you’ve already done the hardest part. For perspective, I'm adding more MRR in 4 weeks than I did in 4 months. I don’t know what’s next, but I like challenging myself, so... See you at $1M ARR 🫡
