I realize this isn't a direct review of your product, but there are a couple front-end things you might want to take a look at.

Concatenating/minifying/compressing your JS files on the home page would speed things up a _lot_. If you have web inspector open, you'll see 55+ HTTP requests just for the landing page. If anyone is trying to view your site over a mobile network, especially those that pay for data or time, that could really hurt.

Also, unless there is a specific reason you're doing it that I'm not seeing, I would really recommend getting rid of the @imports in your CSS in favor of just adding more <link> tags; or better yet, go with my last suggestion and compress them. You could even just copy and paste the code into a tool like this[1].

Congratulations on shipping! I'm working on my own bootstrapped, single founder project right now and it's inspiring to see others releasing their products.
