------

1. Wilson hit $20k ARR for Ferndesk

3. Paying over $100k/month to use Slack!?

Austen Allred shared a quarterly bill from Slack for his company Lambda School which shows them paying just over $330k/quarterly for their enterprise plan. The invoice is from 2021 but it’s insane how much companies pay to use tools like Slack. I smell an opportunity for some open-source disruption.

4. Nithur reached 100+ paying customers

Nithur hit 100+ paying customers for Wandpen, an AI chat & writing extension for Chrome. It took him 16 months to get his first 3 customers, and just 4 months to get 100+. Insane stuff!

Sergey crossed $18k in total revenue with Screencharm, a simple alternative to Screen Studio that lets you record high-quality screen videos on macOS with smart zoom effects, smooth cursor tracking, beautiful backgrounds, and more.
