Open Startup
Everything is public. Solo founder. Bootstrapped. Building in the open.
The honest version
Stockyard has zero revenue and zero paid customers as of April 2026. The product works — 150 tools compiled and shipping, the proxy handles real LLM traffic, the install scripts download real binaries. What is missing is distribution. This page exists because hiding behind vague growth language when the numbers are this early would be dishonest. If you are evaluating Stockyard, you should know the stage it is at.
What has shipped
Apr 2026
150 standalone tools built, compiled, and published to GitHub. 603 site pages. Migration guides, stacks, comparison pages. Google Ads and conversion tracking live.

What is next
Product Hunt launch. Outreach to self-hosted newsletter editors and YouTube creators. Improving the top 20 tool pages with real screenshots. Getting the first paying customer.
The constraint is distribution, not product. The tools work. People just don't know they exist yet.
How it is built
Solo developer. Go for the backend. SQLite for storage. Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS for the site (no framework). Railway for hosting. Resend for email. Stripe for payments. Claude for the heavy content generation sprints.
Total infrastructure cost: ~$20/mo (Railway + Resend + domain).
