Week 48: Mirkaat MVP + $297 MRR
This week was intense. Onboarded 3 beta users for Mirkaat, hit $297 MRR with FliesReplies, and started the Pinterest integration that's been on the roadmap for weeks.
Mirkaat Progress
The first 3 beta agencies are now connected. Seeing real usage patterns: they generate 5-8 decks per week on average. The Slack delivery is the feature they love most — no more email attachments.
Key learnings:
- Agencies want customizable templates, not just data dumps
- Pinterest data is equally important as Instagram for most clients
- Turnaround speed matters more than depth of insights
FliesReplies Revenue
Added $50 in MRR this week, bringing total to $297. The LinkedIn reply feature from v2.1 is driving most new upgrades. Goal is to hit $500 by end of month.
Breakdown:
- Chrome extension: 127 active users
- Pro tier ($9/mo): 33 subscribers
- Growth happening organically via Twitter threads
Technical Decisions
Went with Supabase for Mirkaat's backend instead of building custom. Reasons:
- Auth out of the box
- Real-time subscriptions for dashboard updates
- Row-level security for multi-tenant data
Next Week
- Pinterest integration for Mirkaat
