I built a social-proof notification tool with no signup, no backend, and a one-line embed — just launched, would love feedback

Hey r/SideProject,

I just launched KanitBox — a free tool that adds "someone just bought" notifications to any website with a single line of embed code.

Why I built it: I wanted to add social-proof popups to a small site I was working on. Every tool I found wanted an account, a dashboard, a tracking script, and a monthly fee before I could even see how it looked. That felt like way too much machinery for what is basically a small animated toast in the corner of a page.

How it works:

  • You type the notification messages you want to show
  • Pick a position (corner) and an accent color
  • Click "generate code" and paste one line into your site

That's it. No server, no account, no API calls — your config travels inside the snippet itself. There are placeholders like {ad} (name) and {sehir} (city) that get auto-filled so the messages feel varied.

Pricing: the free tier is unlimited notifications with a small "KanitBox" badge. Pro is $9/mo and just removes the badge. That's the whole model.

Full honesty: I launched this today and it has zero users. I'm a solo indie dev from Turkey and this is me putting it out into the world for the first time.

Try it here: https://kanitbox.vercel.app

What would stop you from actually using something like this on your own site? I'd genuinely like to know what's missing.
