Original Summary

Most things I build, I give away. I was never the person who shipped something and asked people to pay for it. Didn’t know if I could for something so simple and if anyone will ever pay. Then I decided to stop circling it. Build the thing. 14-day trial, then you pay (59$ for lifetime). Nothing else. No waitlist, no “coming soon,” no talking it up. Put a way for people to reward your work. That’s Carry . A Chrome extension that writes your ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok chats to a local folder as markdown, usually an Obsidian vault. No account, no API key, no server of mine. I put it on the Chrome Web Store and went quiet. About a month and a half. The active kept climbing by 1-2 a day. I told myself nobody came because I hadn’t done anything or talked about it or maybe it's just a problem in my head and suits my use-case. TBH I was also worry of the architecture: it rides the sessions you’re already logged into. If ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok change something, it breaks. Chrome review is slow. Support tickets pile up. Talking about it felt like volunteering for a nightmare I didn’t want yet. Then two people I don’t know paid $59 in last three days. I cannot explain that feeling well. Someone buying what you made unlocks a switch. The same fragility that made me hide it suddenly looked like a problem worth solving, not a reason to stay quiet. You see the work differently. You see yourself differently. I am not saying it's like a magical wand but you doubt yourself a little less and that more than enough to survive this lone journey that you have chosen for your self. One day at a time, just one day. ----- 14-day trial if the chats you care about keeps dying in a tab: carry.md If you’ve sold a session-based extension - how did you handle changes in internal api?   submitted by   /u/i4nkit [link]   [comments]
