Gumtrends is a SaaS I created to help digital creators validate their ideas and do competitor analysis, using Gumroad data.
I went from idea to first paying customer in 6 days, ending up on the front page of Hacker News.
I built Gumtrends with Laravel, Alpine.js, TailwindCSS, MySQL, Paddle for payment processing and Resend for transactional emails.
