Embed banners and modals onto your site with no code.

I spent the last 7 years as a growth engineer building banners and modals. Each time there was a custom requirement. I've always thought there should be a Wix kind of experience for tiny components that can be embedded anywhere on a site.

Currently I have 0 users. This year I plan on spending more time on marketing and improving the product. It cost me about $50/month to run. Most is for storage (postgres and redis). A large chunk is for a custom email address through Google. I spend about 1-2 hours working on it every day. I'm thinking long term. Slow and steady.

If I can offer some advice, I'd put some info about what you're actually committing to when you sign up. Your site looks lovely, but there's no info as to whether there are paid or free options or what signing up will actually do (in terms of emails or commitment). I almost never sign up to any service unless they do this, and often if they are open about costs or provide a free tier or trial, I'm much more likely to test it out.
