copynpaste, 7 weeks in - 6,300 people in the last 90 days - 4 paying users - 12 integrations shipped, every one from a user email - $0 on marketing built it because pasting between apps kept wrecking my formatting. turns out it wasn't just me

what's one thing you wish your favorite dev tool would just delete

Compliments are nice, but hearing "recommended you because you're amazing at what you do." just hits different.
