Very Nice! How do you create an app in only 12 hours. What framework you use to create the app

I reused an existing template on the front end. The backend is serverless AWS using CDK. It was quick because I could reuse a lot from my previous projects.

Thanks Kenny. I haven’t had the chance to implement a monetizing strategy due to time constraints. However, I did put buymeacoffee button to help me offset some of the costs.

Thanks Akos. It was a fun project that moved my focus away from my upcoming / long pending AWS CDK course. 🤣

Those are the best ones! I'm in the middle of a little SaaS as well, but I should be working on my next book or course instead 😃

Great post Kunal, grats on the user acquisition and very nice walkthrough of some various steps you took. Surprised you got DR that high, I guess really making sure you hit up all available directories is probably worth it for that alone even if you don't get anything else from it.

Thanks Bill. Yes, listing on the popular AI directories definitely helps. I have also noticed that once you are on the popular ones, the other directories copy the listings.
