Title: For the past year, I&#x27;ve been working on a side project called Outpan. Basically it&#x27;s an app store for web apps (apps written in JS&#x2F;HTML&#x2F;CSS).<p>The whole project started out as a simple directory but a few days ago I finally finished the payment&#x2F;store functionality and released it without any fanfare. To my surprise, one of the developers found out about the new feature and added a paid app priced at $5 (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.outpan.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;d0b0885a8d&#x2F;voice-music), I genuinely thought the price was waaaaaay too high and there weren&#x27;t any proper screenshots (I think the developer was just testing the waters) but the very same day a user actually bought the app!!!!<p>Even though it&#x27;s only $5 and the user seems to not have liked the app (I reached out to them and offered to issue a refund but they refused!) this is still a crazy milestone for me as all this happened without a shred of marketing and totally organically! I&#x27;ve already put a ton of work into this project but now that I know that there seem to be people willing to transact on my platform I&#x27;m super focused on improving the entire buying and payment experience to perfection.<p>Anyways, a really small amount of money but a giant amount of excitement lol Please ask any question you might have about my experience, would be happy to answer.
