I wanted to add social proof via a wall of love for an earlier project I worked on. I signed up for a popular tool to do that, but my pagespeed dropped by 40 points! In my head, I thought "I can do better than this."
The popular tools used to collect and manage testimonials were either slow, expensive, or ugly. I wanted to do things in a more fun and exciting way than the competition, so I gave it a shot.

How did you find your first customers?

From Twitter. My first 3 customers all came from tweeting about my journey and the things I was learning while building Senja. Many of my customers still do, but it's becoming more and more diverse.
