How I built Commentify: the messy first version vs the polished version
🚀 Polished version (now):
Customer signs up → Instant account creation → Automated onboarding → Automated free trial management → Welcome email → Everything just works.
🛠️ The messy first version (back then):
Customer signs up → I personally send a welcome email → Manually create an account → Manually manage free trials → Repeat for each new customer.
Sometimes, the best way to start is to stay scrappy and keep it manual until you really understand what customers need.
