Show HN: I made a toast that shows what visitors are doing in real-time

Hey HN, A couple years ago, I switched from my corporate 9 to 5 job to become a Tech Educator. Starting with little social proof was tough, I only had testimonials from past colleagues.

Existing social proof tools were charging $75/month i.e. ($900/year) and were too complex to use.

This is why my partner and I built ProofyBubble for my Next.js Course Early Access Launch.

We saw a real jump in revenue the moment we added ProofyBubble to show off our website traffic, waitlist signups, incoming sales, and past sales.

I've since used ProofyBubble in all my products - my newsletter subscribers grew, sales increased, and I launched my course with tons of social proof.

I hope it helps you as much as it helped me. Would love your feedback please.

Whenever I see these pop up I basically never believe them. They are even worse when made up scarcity is involved.

I want to go one step further and say this is actually a dark pattern.
