A timer seems like such a looked over tool as it seems like such a "simple" thing to use. But it's surprising how many subtle features you need for a quality timer in a meeting scenario. Have you found it hard to get adoption of Stage Timer? What has been your approach to reach new users?

On the contrary, I'm consistently surprised about our customers.

I started it thinking "Who would actually pay for a timer?" but I added pricing anyway because I wanted to learn the ins and outs of running a SaaS. Turns out, we get amazing customer feedback. Just today I got this email:

Your solution is BRILLIANT, and I just wanted to say, “thanks!”. We’ll spread the word in our industry about Stage Timer. [...] Best $100 I’ve spent this year, and I’m stoked!

Our first users came from a Reddit post. But now it is organic and word-of-mouth.
