FounderSignal

Okay, so initially users with Starter plan (free tier) could create as many ideas as they wanted and this could've been exploited. I had some discussions with some honest users and we decided that I should restrict it and only allow idea creation on starter plan if the account is too new. So, if an account's age is 3 days old or more, they cannot create more ideas than they've.

Right after posting on indiehackers, I got my first user. They explored the product, and everything. After some time, I decided to email them to ask their feedback. The feedback they provided was really insightful and the ideas for new features they gave were amazing. Would definitely try to improve the product with those features in the near future.
