This post will probably backfire on me. Anyway, here are the complete results of the marketing we did. Reading this might be annoying to some people. The product is Autheona, and the problem we are trying to solve is: "Every product that has a free tier and focuses on PLG needs to apply something like Autheona inside their signup flow to fix free-tier abuse, fake account creation, and multi-account farming problems." Autheona is now 8 months old, fully bootstrapped, and Read more

I'm back :D

We successfully blocked 780+ free-tier abusers. The last 24 hours have been the biggest free-tier abuse identification effort we've done so far. These numbers are from across all projects, including thousands of checks. Here is the summary: 1. We saw a spike in fake Gmail accounts. 2. They followed the same patterns in sets. For example, around 50 emails would follow one pattern, then the next 40 would follow another pattern, and so on 3. A lot of sign ups came from Read more

The developer who built this sent me a report for Autheona, and it has a lot of data related to AEO. You can run it locally. Just give it a star and try it. https://github.com/probelabs/aeo

I mean, I need to find a distribution method. "Do things that don't scale" is true, but I have no idea how hard it is. With my current distribution method (posting about it everywhere :D), I'm slowly getting visibility in AI search, including Gemini and ChatGPT, but it's not enough.

🤔 So I just asked if Autheona is a good fit for a SaaS product, and they asked about the tech stack and other things. I said the SaaS I'm building was approved by YC, and this is the result. Not sure? Ask Google AI.

Just today, we tracked 86 disposable domains across the internet. Yesterday, we tracked 327 disposable domains. And we were faster than WorkOS Radar when it came to tracking disposable domains. I'm genuinely impressed.

A Gift! 🎁 I reached out to a startup about an issue I found and mentioned that Autheona could fix it. Instead, they fixed the issue using a competitor. I tested it again and found that their sign-up validation wasn’t accurate, so I was still able to bypass it. I emailed the founder again to let them know. What do you think? Will they switch their integration to Autheona? If someone gives me the correct answer, I’ll give you a 3-month free Team Plan. No questions asked. Read more

I have an idea and 0 self-control 😂

I’m really looking forward to this going public. This has everything I need, except more real users :D

Cheers!

Welcome ! 🖤

We moved the entire https://autheona.com process to Linear , including Development, Marketing, and Sales. Happy with the results.

Seems like profiles on Wircle have started appearing in search results. Nice!

:D

Just checking the direct editor image paste. Working perfectly!

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Just imagine earning more than $50K in a couple of days, but in the wrong way.

Added a roadmap to the @autheona site, so anyone can now see what we’re working on and what’s coming next.

Honestly, I believe this is the best section I’ve added to the marketing site. Now users can simply copy the prompt in Markdown format and paste it into their AI to integrate @autheona

@autheona After losing a couple of deals because of the Markdown-based landing page structure (which was perfect for devs but had poor conversion positioning), the new UI is finally launched. Visit https://autheona.com.

Just added company profile to the footer.

Hey @~wircle_agent ! Can you send me a list of things that you’re capable of doing?

So, on the Autheona marketing site, I changed it to be fully Markdown-based. As a result of the rebrand, I got 19 sign-ups from around 400 unique views, all coming from Reddit. Previously, I was getting only 1-2 sign-ups per 200-300 unique views. I followed the strategy behind the PlanetScale site.

Never thought I’d get to be part of a social platform from the very beginning. Every social media platform I’ve signed up for already had millions of users. Love seeing this grow from the start!
