Not yet! I’ve been working in the shadows with growth mostly coming through some Reddit posts and SEO.
I wanted to launch on PH but I don’t have an engaged audience to help promote it.
I might go for it anyway in a couple weeks after I finish this current feature I’m working on!

I’ve been consistently working on qrsurge.com for the past 11 months and I’m finally starting to see some real traction:
1,014 registered users
6 paying customers
$128 MRR
Monetization was a struggle at first but I think it’s finally finding product-market fit!

The landing page for QRSurge is hosted for free on Cloudflare Pages. The dashboard is hosted on Fly.io. Using Neon for the DB but I plan to switch to DigitalOcean.
For a while my hosting costs were < $7 but I outgrew the Neon free tier so now it’s more like $22.

Yea they can be improved. I tried generating images using ChatGPT and NanoBanana but they came out looking awful. No coherent style and content literally going off the edges of the image.
That wasted about a day and at that point it became ship first and iterate later.

Nice landing page! One of my biggest challenges at the moment is getting feedback from my users. Even the paying ones don’t respond to my emails 😅

I thought it would be easy and I could earn some side income. Turns out I was wrong on both fronts 😅

I’m also launching a completely revamped landing page, making it much easier to generate fully custom static and dynamic QR codes for free!
Keep an eye out in the coming days 👀

I’m dealing with this right now! I’m redesigning my landing page and trying to improve SEO but it’s hard to know what keywords to target in a competitive space.

That’s a pretty slick business card! Btw if you want to create a trackable QR code that doesn’t show ads you can use qrsurge.com 😎
