You can check how it works in the demo. Idk, charging more than $5 for a google sheet like this felt wrong.

Its also simpler I believe

I might just make one then :D

If you do, and you remember this comment, let me know :)

I still prefer Google Sheets somehow... Let's see how many people think the same

Thanks!

Wow, this is awesome! Love the setup.

And thanks for the kind words! You nailed it, it’s exactly what I wanted for people who don’t want to spend a weekend building a CLI just to track their groceries...

Sometimes a simple spreadsheet does the job!

I tried a lot of things, I even work with AI professionally.

This is just a side project I had since 5 years ago. And it just reminded me how simple things can be sometimes. No need to put AI everywhere.

In any case, the reviews are not fake, I talked to these people personally in search for feedback. I am not going to share their personal info ofc.

But will consider improving the site to not make it feel fake!

Last line before you edited your reply was:

> P.s.: Noticed how when people buy the template the number on the landing page increases? Its real.

I did notice, so am I to believe that in the writing of my comment (less than an hour ago), this number jumped from 2300 to a clean 2360 (so a conversion rate of about 2 users per minute), and yet it has not received further updates since? I'm pretty sure that I've been writing for more than a few minutes already.

Also I don't think I've ever seen "inputting false profile images from randomuser.me" as a means to protect the personal infos of your client, if they don't want their name in there, I'm pretty sure they also don't want a fake name and fake image to represent them.

Finally, it's hard to believe that a thriving community of 2360 individual users would translate to a subreddit with... 5 monthly visits. https://www.reddit.com/r/WriteItDownTemplate/ (<- official subreddit listed on your site's page)

You are right, I did edit the comment since after I read it again I found it too defensive, so I rephrased it a little. Hope you don't mind!

The reddit page you posted was made quite some time after the initial post that went "viral" (https://www.reddit.com/r/sheets/comments/178kf81/tracking_fi...). I also haven't put much effort in growing it, sadly.

I understand you might think these people are fake but I am not here to try to prove you wrong. I know what I've built, I know how many people have signed up and requested a copy. What I will do however is fix the landing page so that less people think this is some sort of trick to get people to buy.

In any case, I really do appreciate the feedback!

>P.s.: Noticed how when people buy the template the number on the landing page increases? Its real.

Huh? You mean that hardcoded text?

<span class="font-bold text-customOrange">2360</span>

If you inspect a page you will likely not see that there is some JS logic in the background that polls from a DB.

But will try to make it more convincing!

Hope you like it!

I like how many people just use a spreadsheet!
