How a Solo Dev Used a Chrome Extension to Hit 10K MRR

In this episode of The Indie Hacker Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a solo developer who built a simple Chrome extension that grew into a $10,000 monthly recurring revenue business—without writing a single line of backend code. We break down how he identified a repetitive task (saving and organizing Twitter threads), turned it into a freemium extension, and scaled it through a viral Product Hunt launch and organic word-of-mouth. Along the way, we discuss the economics of Chrome extensions as a SaaS entry point, why the Chrome Web Store's 30% cut is more forgiving than mobile app stores, and how he avoided the support trap by designing a self-explanatory product. If you're a developer wondering whether a browser extension can be a real business, this episode is for you. #ChromeExtension #SoloDeveloper #SaaS #IndieHacker #ProductHunt #10KMRR #Freemium #BrowserExtension #TwitterThreads #ViralLaunch #Bootstrapping #NoBackend #SelfService #Revenue #SideProject #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
