Launched Jan 2024 into the AI-short-video wave with a strong Product Hunt debut (#5 of the day, 567 upvotes), then built a 5-locale SEO + free-tools + affiliate machine. The arithmetic tells the arc: $320k all-time over ~31 months averages ~$10.3k/mo against today's $4.5k MRR — revenue ran well above current levels earlier, boosted by one-off lifetime-deal sales. By mid-2026 the team moved on: a self-hosted LTD harvest ($199.95/$599.95, capped at 500 claims), a 6-upvote PH relaunch, and a $50k for-sale listing ("our team is shifting its focus to a new venture").

A self-hosted LTD at /ltd ($199.95 Basic / $599.95 Pro, "no longer available once 500 Lifetime Deals have been claimed", no refunds) amplified by the LTD aggregator ecosystem (SaaSPirate, Lifetimo) — the one-off cash that pads all-time revenue against a shrinking subscription base.
A Rewardful program paying recurring commission (directories list 20–25%, rates conflict) — the standard compounding layer, still live through the wind-down.
