      <title>I made a platform to automatically lower churn of SaaS businesses.</title>
      <dc:creator>Matt-Howell</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://forem.com/matthowell/i-made-a-platform-to-automatically-lower-churn-of-saas-businesses-45ck</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone - I have been building SaaS businesses since late 2020 and have loved starting and growing these projects. Throughout that time I have enjoyed learning anything there is to know about SaaS, and how to grow a successful business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, with all my projects, one thing has always held back my growth - and that's churn. I would spend hours marketing with cold outreach, SEO, and paid ads but eventually my growth would always get cancelled out by churn and losing customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That is why 2 months ago I started working on a platform designed to reduce churn for all SaaS businesses. Here's how it works - after a customer unsubscribes from your platform, our system will automatically send out an email a few days later (which you design), and try to bring the customer back. By throwing in discounts and sharing roadmaps, churned customers are much more likely to re-subscribe with these emails.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After testing out my platform with a cloud storage SaaS business, they saw 1 in 4 churned customers re-subscribe after receiving an email offering a discount and showing off their newly added features. This lead to an increase in revenue of $180 in the testing period, which they wouldn't have seen otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to play around with it, you can find it at &lt;a href="https://churnaxe.com"&gt;churnaxe.com&lt;/a&gt;. I would love some opinions, criticism, or any feedback really - and I have created a discount code "AXE" so that the first month is only $5. Thank you all in advance and I hope you give it a shot!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How I made it easier to find better expired domains</title>
      <dc:creator>Matt-Howell</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://forem.com/matthowell/how-i-made-it-easier-to-find-better-expired-domains-50d2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey everyone - I've had my tool live for a few months now after quite a lot of development so I was hoping for some potential feedback around it. Here's the summary:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyday a new list is sent out to your inbox with 100s of hand-chosen valuable, aged, and high quality domains that have expired the previous day. I know how difficult it can be to find good expired domains with all the throw-away, spam domains that need to be sorted through - so that is why I built my tool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to play around with it, you can find it at &lt;a href="https://yesterdaysdomains.com"&gt;yesterdaysdomains.com&lt;/a&gt;. I would love some opinions, criticism, feature requests, or any feedback really - I have created a discount code "Domains" so that the first month is only $2.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you all in advance and let me know if you have any questions!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>PseudoEditor V3 is LIVE!</title>
      <dc:creator>Matt-Howell</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 22 Oct 2022 17:35:34 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/matthowell/pseudoeditor-v3-is-live-l3k</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/matthowell/pseudoeditor-v3-is-live-l3k</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a long time coming but &lt;a href="https://pseudoeditor.com"&gt;PseudoEditor&lt;/a&gt; V3 went live today! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In short, PseudoEditor is a way to write pseudocode (used to scaffold algorithms in plain English) within a designated code editor. This makes it so much nicer to write pseudocode (better than using notepad!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Real-time collaborative sessions went live today, allowing users to write pseudocode together, teachers to share the code they're writing in real-time, and much more! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The editor become more powerful, and the new "Pro" plan was released - offering perks such as live help with pseudocode and ad-free editing (a $9.99 one-time payment).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is my website so ask me a question if you have one!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you :D&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;window.location.search will return everything from the ? on. This code below will remove the ?, use split to separate into key/value arrays, then assign named properties to the object:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;var queryDict = {}&lt;br&gt;
location.search.substr(1).split("&amp;amp;").forEach(function(item) {queryDict[item.split("=")[0]] = item.split("=")[1]})&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
