How Pckgr grows

After fixing early bugs from the free Reddit launch, introduced a $25/month subscription while still in beta. Advice: charge early even if the price is low; if nobody will pay in the early stages, don't chase the idea.

After the beta, partnered with Microsoft MVPs (recognized Intune experts) who created demos of Pckgr for their highly targeted IT admin audiences, e.g. YouTube videos. Paid once; the content keeps getting found for years.

Existing Intune packaging tools were too technical or too expensive and focused on customers with millions of devices. Built an affordable, browser-based tool that does one job (deploy applications) and targeted smaller businesses instead.

Once the MVP worked, launched it completely free on Reddit, where IT admins discuss Intune. Took the feedback (and some rude comments), fixed early bugs and stabilized the platform before charging. Advice: launch early to your target audience, listen closely to feedback and keep improving.

Noticed that packaging and verifying one app for Intune could take an hour at his IT admin job. Searched forums and found many other IT admins with the same problem, then checked existing tools and found them lacking. Advice: build where you already have credibility and look for pain points people complain about.
