Reaching $10k monthly revenue with WakaTime, my SaaS side project

Are you saying she didn't write the content of the newsletters, or moderate the Slack, or write those blog posts? I don't think anyone is contending that she wrote the code but I know my own interest in WakaTime would have waned without the community and the newsletters.

I am still unsatisfied with your version of events because it seems to discount that Priyanka did any work at all.

Her first blog post was on: 2014-12-16

Her last blog post was on: 2015-03-31

This doesn't look like an sophisticated engagement.

Here's a Google Trends chart for 'WakaTime':

That first spike is December 2014. Interesting timing!

The last Slack notification email I have from her is from 10/26/2015. Why is it so hard to believe that she did a year or so's worth of work for WakaTime? Why are her contributions to be valued less because they aren't code?
