As an indie hacker, I launched this app a year ago:<p>https://umbrellatoday.app<p>The primary function of the app is to send rain alerts via email to users before they leave their locations. Without almost zero effort, I managed to attract close to 1000 users, send out 90,000 notifications across +190 locations and 51 timezones.<p>Now I am wondering if it makes any sense to pursue this indie project further, and to try to consider monetising it, and perhaps as well expanding the user base.<p>I know that the product can be improved significantly (e.g. an app with push notifications instead of email) - its a serious MVP. But before jumping ship, I would like to think of the potential direction to take, and thats why your help would be appreciated.<p>What would be some ideas on how to achieve this? Or which approach to take? Even better: under which conditions would you pay for a solution like this?
I purchase good apps on the App store for a few bucks. If I needed an app like this I'd be happy to pay it once. But I wouldn't pay a recurring fee for this.
Been a very long time since I used <a href="https://ifttt.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ifttt.com</a>, they seem to charge for more than 2 apps now. But, I feel like this is something that could easily be done with IFTTT, potentially for free if you don't already have 2 apps. So why wouldn't/shouldn't I just use IFTTT?
