Another solo founder here with a similar product (it generates images), similar revenue and similar age. I went the Electron route so my solution uses local compute and you get to save designs to your desktop. You can batch process thousands of images from spreadsheets, etc.

The kicker is I built this for label printing. So the output can be full color or dithered black and white, and my app talks to a few dozen supported USB thermal label printers.

Like the author described.. I niched down. Check out my app at https://label.live

BannerBear is cool and the marketing is truly inspiring. Keep up the good work!



Awesome product and name / domain!

That list of bar code types blows my mind - and shows me that clearly this is a niche I know nothing about :)


Cool product. Would you be willing to share rough revenue numbers?


Revenue is in the same ballpark as BannerBear with similar growth. However, most of my licenses are one-time and I just recently introduced a subscription. Like BannerBear, my competition in the desktop space is very expensive for customers.
