I made a toast that shows what visitors are doing in real-time
Hey HN, A couple years ago, I switched from my corporate 9 to 5 job to become a Tech Educator. Starting with little social proof was tough, I only had testimonials from past colleagues. Existing social proof tools were charging $75/month i.e. ($900/year) and were too complex to use. This is why my partner and I built ProofyBubble for my Next.js Course Early Access Launch.

Everything promises to boost conversions, and often it's an expensive gamble. I always wanted to try one of these, and even with 1 sale it'll pay for itself. I've had it up for only a week, and tracking this stuff is always incredibly hard, but seems like it might be helping! Here are a few examples of how ProofyBubble can be used to drive conversions.

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
