Recently had my first dispute for Nuxt SaaS Kit. LemonSqueezy has been super helpful in guiding me through it. I don’t feel I deserve to lose, but looking at the stats (most disputes go against sellers), I’m not too optimistic.

August 2025 analytics for Nuxt SaaS Kit Haven’t had much time to focus on it lately. Most of my energy has gone into building DataSync and getting it through monday approval.

The next step is to finally make good on those updates I have been stalling on. Once DataSync is approved, I’ll block out time to get these done (hopefully not too long from now 🤞).

Big progress on my monday.com app 🚀 (now called DataSync). ✅ 43.3% approved 🔴 40% must be completed 🟡 10% not a blocker 🟣 6.7% not relevant QA has been super supportive, jumping on calls and answering all my noob (and sometimes frustrated) questions 🙏

Sync2Monday got rejected from the monday.com app marketplace. The app helps users connect any external API to their Monday boards and import data without all the manual setup. Simple idea. I thought I was ready to publish. Instead, I got hit with multiple rejections. 🧵

Deploying my Nuxt application on Coolify takes about 15 minutes using the default Nixpacks settings. Surely this isn’t normal, right? Are there any tips or tricks to speed up the process?

So now I have to: - Rebrand the entire app (new name + new domain) - Recreate all accounts/services tied to the old email/domain - Add monetization earlier than I wanted (maybe a blessing in disguise)


Feels like starting all over again. 
Lesson: if you’re building on someone else’s platform, read the rules carefully first. It could save you days/weeks of rework.

The second was about monetization. My plan was to launch free → get users + feedback → and then figure out monetization later. But monday’s policy says if people install your app while it’s free, they get lifetime access to all features, even ones you make paid in the future 🤯

That means if 500 users adds the app to their workspace while it’s free, I’m obligated to give all 500 of them unlimited premium access forever. On top of that, you can’t use Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or any external payment system. Monday provide a monetization system, so you have to use that.

There were a bunch of issues, but two stood out that had the biggest impact. The first was the name. Apparently, you can’t use “monday” in your app’s name or domain, which means "Sync2Monday" was dead on arrival. I should’ve caught that in the submission policy. But I didn’t.Rookie mistake.

PostHog can feel intimidating at first. But once you set it up and get the hang of it, it becomes a game-changer for truly understanding how people use your product.

Tried Google Stitch for the first time. Asked it to redesign a basic HTML to be more visually pleasing, and it did a great job, at least better than I would have done.

This is the prompt I used: "I want you to create a better design off of the image. I feel like its too basic as it is and I want it to be more visually appealing". Nothing fancy, and it created the design in one attempt.

Spent 3 days trying to build a cron scheduling system with Upstash Workflows, and it was like banging my head against a wall 😩 Switched to express + node-cron and had it working in 15 minutes. Sometimes you gotta ditch the fancy stuff and keep it simple.

Waiting for Nuxt 4 to drop so I can upgrade Nuxt SaaS kit to the latest version. That will also include: - Radix UI to Reka UI - TailwindCSS v4 - A new dashboard - Stripe integration

Grok is insanely good at planning and scoping features. Been reaching for it more than any other AI lately, especially when I'm mapping out flows or breaking down big ideas.

Progress update for Monday app ✅ What works now: - Connect any external API to import data directly into boards - Append / Update / Overwrite options - Support for headers, query params & auth - Smart detection of the data field - Select which fields to import 👇 Here’s what it looks like for now
