A pre-launch app got its first paid customer by chance
An app had been in development for two months and was planned for an August . The website, payment , and social accounts were ready, but there had been no public promotion yet. A Stripe alert suddenly showed that someone had paid.
The payment had not even been tested, and the app still had many bugs, so it was not ready for real users. The buyer found out about the project after seeing it on a screen in a coffee shop and became curious enough to pay.
