Wow, We Gained 10+ Users 😂 — So I Kept Updating Rizzzler
A little while ago, I wrote about launching Rizzzler, my open-source project. At that point, 7 users had signed up in my another post Now? We're at 11 users. 🎉 Okay, technically that's only 4 more users... But still — 10+ users! 😂 For a small project built and deployed with basically no marketing budget, I'm honestly pretty happy about it. But the more interesting part isn't the number. It's…
In the beginning, Rizzzler, an open-source project, had only 7 users. A subsequent post announced that this had increased to 11 users. While this represents a modest increase - 4 more users - it's significant for a project with virtually no marketing budget. The real change, however, came not from the number of users, but from the feedback they provided.
Instead of simply adding random features, the project's developer began using this feedback to make meaningful changes. Here are some of the notable updates:
1. A documentation page was added, making it easier for new users to understand how Rizzzler works.
2. Four new themes were introduced, adding more visual variety: Bubble Pop, Playful cartoon styling, candy colors, bouncy backgrounds, and goofy kid-energy vibes.
3. The sticker theme, dubbed Sticker Chaos, was revamped. It features more emojis, sticker clusters, zoom bursts, and playful motion.
4. The bio field was modified to accept more than just plain text. Users can now use formatting options like highlighted text, bold, and italic.
5. The profile's phone number field was changed to public email. This change aims to keep users' phone numbers private.
6. Profile field limits were tightened. Bio can now have up to 250 characters, public email up to 120 characters, and so on.
7. Showcase text editing was enabled, allowing users to customize elements like hero eyebrow, moment titles, and moment blurbs.
8. Audio uploads were introduced. This adds a personal touch to the profiles, making them more than just static pages.
9. The security of Rizzzler has been improved with better protections against suspicious activity and abusive requests.
10. The admin panel has been improved for easier monitoring and management of the platform.
Despite these enhancements, the developer emphasizes that Rizzzler is still a small project, currently with only 11 users. However, he stresses that the focus is on building what users need, rather than simply adding more features. The project is continually evolving based on user feedback.
