Most social networks give you exactly one link to spend. Dudr fixed that: gather your YouTube, Instagram, and the rest onto a single customizable page, share it, and learn who’s clicking. The idea felt fresh then — today Linktree and friends own the niche.
Business model
A monthly subscription, billed through Stripe, unlocked the analytics: clicks per link, traffic sources, visit trends, and more.
The end
I built Dudr to sharpen my skills, then opened it up at friends’ urging. The paying users never covered the cost of thousands of free ones, so I shut it down rather than pour in more time. With hindsight I’d play it differently — but the lessons were worth more than the project.
