3 months from launching a paid plan, Yaak passed $250 MRR.
57 customers from 6k monthly active users (1% conversion).
Only 40x left to go to get to $10k MRR -- a sustainable income ๐ช๐ผ

I don't miss it at all. The way I use ai, it still feels like I'm writing it. Just don't have to do the typing.

I spent a lot of 2025 worrying whether Yaak would actually work.
Growth stalled for 6 months but then I won the lottery with Postman having an outage.
Ended up at 10x with $1,900 MRR. Just one more 10x to be sustainable!

2025 Year in Review
A year ago I had just launched Yaakโs commercial-use license and was sitting at $160 MRR. It was a gambleโฆ

Why do no LLM chat interfaces have a sidebar (or something) to jump up to my previous input?
So hard to scroll up past a bunch of stuff to look for the top of a long response.

Just got Yaak working properly with git worktrees!
It was actually way harder than expected:
- Generate env file with incremented port numbers
- Ensure shared DB state works across multiple dev instances
- Copy over some gitignored files (editor configs)

How should I organize this info now that you'll be able to see there request body, request headers, and full transaction timeline?

I see a lot more of my friends shipping apps because LLMs make it so easy. Then they get abandoned or fizzle out.
Being successful is still as hard as it always was. The easy part (code) is just easier.

Wanted to play with Expo again, so had Claude whip up a quick app to view Yaak stats.

FINALLY, see the exact headers Yaak sent with a request.
I implemented form handling, redirects, and compression (previously handled by reqwest) to make this possible.
Let me know what other details you want exposed.
