Pagy kind of blew up overnight on Reddit reaching 900+ upvotes, which sent 10k+ visits, and ~500 sites were created (and a couple already upgraded!). The best part is that since the sites are statically generated it handled the traffic without a glitch (thanks @vercel !).

Pushing it to Monday. I just finished making the promo video (which took me longer than expected) and it’s probably not the best idea to launch on a Friday afternoon.

I’m testing out an affiliates program for @pagyco . You get 50% of the subscription revenue for any customers you refer for up to a year. How does that sound? Reply or DM me if you’d like to sign up!

✅ Expanded the code injection feature so custom code can be included at the end of all posts or pages. You can use it to embed a newsletter signup form from your favorite service at the end of your posts, for example.
