I got my first paying customer one week after I started marketing my side project

I genuinely can’t believe this.

证据：I was tired of screen-recording websites, opening After Effects, adding everything to mockups, exporting it, and then resizing it for social media. So I built a tool that does most of that automatically. ... today I randomly opened Stripe and saw my first payment sitting there. It’s only $13.56, but knowing that someone found something I built useful enough to pay for is such a crazy feeling.

摘要：一位设计师因自己制作产品预览的流程太繁琐，开发了 Preview Kit，并在开始营销一周后收到第一笔 $13.56 的 Stripe 付款。这个案例验证了自动化生成社交媒体产品预览内容的付费需求，但金额很小、仅一位客户，且同类竞品较多。独立开发者适合做轻量 Web MVP，靠订阅或买断变现。
