How I built and shipped BestPricingPages.com in less than a week.

Pssst... before checking any further... come check it on Product Hunt!

Last Thursday I decided to act on an idea...

You see, I've been thinking about how we were missing a curated repository of pricing pages. Something like ReallyGoodEmails but for pricing pages. As pricingpages.xyz doesn't exist anymore, there was a gap to fill.

This combined to my recent discovery and learning of Gatsby.js was the perfect catalyst to kickstart a new side project. Just the time to buy the domain bestpricingpages.com and download a Gatsby starter and here I was ready to act on my idea.

I've been iterating on it over the last couple of days. Improving some things, fixing some others -breaking a couple of others trying to do that- but I managed to got something that was decent enough to be deemed shippable. So here we are!

BestPricingPages v1.0

Despite being built in a couple of days, BPP packs a lot of content with a couple of dozens of pricing pages already there and more on the way.

The code is also held to high standards and got an A from both CodeClimate and Codacy. You can check it out on my GitHub.

This first version is definitely far from perfect. But hey. Done is better than perfect. I'm looking forward to iterate on it based on feedback and see how far this little website can go.

Building in public

It felt important to build this in public and iterate based on users feedback.

That's also why the website is open source under the MIT license and you can get the code on my GitHub too. The content is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA.

Support this on Product Hunt
