So I did. I quit my job to give it everything I have.

Now it’s just me, my laptop, and some savings.

Wish me luck. 🍀

But it was all worth it.

So much has happened in just one year.

And it’s going to pay off.

The 7th day was for rest,
and for time with my wife and our dog.

The next 365 days will look pretty similar.

The only difference:
Starting December, I’ll be working on Affonso full-time!

From early morning to late at night.

No more 9 to 5.

365 days full of highs and lows.

Since making that change, almost every 2–3 signups now start a trial (before it was only about every 6th).

It’s fascinating how much impact a small change can have on user behavior.

But I have to admit.. I actually liked reading it.

At least it was fair and didn’t twist facts, which I’ve already seen others do.

Even when competitors try to show why you’re worse,
it’s still a signal that you’re relevant enough to matter.

I’m currently deciding what to tackle first:

→ move high-usage functions to Cloudflare Workers
→ migrate everything from Vercel to a self-hosted Coolify setup

That should lower costs and help keep things sustainable.

→ New sales tab. Track sales from affiliates

→ New programs now come with a test affiliate account
→ Impersonate affiliates to view the dashboard from their perspective
→ …plus tons of UI improvements

More to come 👀 → affonso.io
