Having an MCP server for this would be super cool.

You can definitely add styles and instruct on colors.

I've looked into different resources to come up with my own numbers. This was a great reference: paritybar.com

Unfortunately I have zero insight about how many people spent their own money vs used their company budget to buy this.

I should definitely do a better job by creating a template and allowing people to use that to convince their bosses. This site is a good example of that: product-toolkit.com

Your post gave an interesting idea - a gallery of products that people can buy to spend their budgets in case they don't have ideas lol

Niiice! I can't get enough of that contrast and vibrant colors as well ;)

You're totally right. From the moment I published this post to now (15 hours period), I made $4,833.16 in sales, which is completely insane.

Dealing with the highs and, more importantly, the lows is what differentiates success from failure.

I implemented my own thing using Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, and Gumroad.

Now 160 countries have unique discounts based on their currency value and social climate.

It definitely took a lot of work not only from me, but also from many different open source contributors to get to this point. We are now at 164 themes which is absolutely crazy!

I'm so happy to hear you got to the checkout process. Thanks a lot for the support ;D

That's so nice! I agree with you that having to figure out each individual config is a LOT of work. There's also a high cognitive cost on switching context all the time, that's when a standardize work environment makes the most difference.

It's super hard to deal with that first refund. Every time I receive a request I get a little bit sad, but it is what it is.

Thank you so much Steve for the kind words.

This is a SUPER important topic. I don't think Dracula Pro would be as successful if it was a subscription. There's definitely a subscription fatigue going on, and people who invest on one-time purchase models will be able to benefit from that

Same thing happened with me. I built this theme as an open source project and forgot it existed. People started to create different forks and port them to different platforms. One day I realized how big that was and decided to monetize. One year later 100k. Crazy!

That's actually annual. It's the total sales from February 2020 until February 2021.
