VectorGrid - Free online grid designer and generator. Create column grids, row grids, and export to PNG with transparency. Perfect for web designers and developers.
15 years old. 48 hours of work. vectorgrid is live and free for everyone. no marketing, just code. give me your honest feedback on how to scale this.
@marimarimario 15 years old shipping a real product in 48 hours. most people twice your age are still planning to start someday. respect.
the tool is clean and does exactly what it says. png and svg export, no bloat, no signup wall, just works.
for scaling: post it on designer communities like dribbble and behance, get it listed on sites like tiny-helpers.dev and undesign.learn.uno. maybe add css grid code export too so devs can copy paste directly. keep building, youre ahead of the curve.
@topfuelauto Thanks so much, Mostafa! Hearing this from an experienced maker means a lot to me. Shipping VectorGrid in 48 hours was an intense but rewarding challenge.
I love the idea of CSS Grid code export—I'll start working on it right away to make it even more useful for devs! Also, thanks for the list of communities; I’ll definitely get the tool listed there to keep the momentum going.
Appreciate the respect and the 'ahead of the curve' vibe!
@topfuelauto I just re-read your suggestion and realized CSS Grid code export is already there! Click the
icon in the header to copy code in 5 formats (Vanilla, Responsive, Tailwind, Bootstrap, CSS Variables). I thought you meant something more advanced, but yeah — it's ready to use! 🚀
Congrats on the launch.
Since the tool is currently free, I’m curious about your long-term monetization plan to cover maintenance costs.
Are you planning a 'Pro' tier, or is this a lead magnet for another product? Just want to assess the longevity of the tool.
@robspa235 Thanks for the question! Since the maintenance costs are minimal (running everything on a $4.50/month VPS), the project is very sustainable even without immediate revenue. I haven't made a final decision on a monetization model yet—I’m keeping my options open, whether that means eventually selling the tool or keeping it as a core part of my ecosystem. For now, my main focus is definitely on developing it further and seeing how much value I can add for the community.
I am in a state of absolute shock right now. I am 15 years old and I launched VectorGrid just 3 hours ago after a 48-hour coding sprint with zero marketing budget. Seeing my project jump to rank 21 globally and receiving support from industry leaders like Hossein Yazdi is something I did not think was possible.
I have to be completely honest with the community: my entire infrastructure is running on a 4.50 dollar VPS with only 1GB of RAM. I built this as a solo project and I was not prepared for this level of traffic from France, Bulgaria, and Turkey so early in the day.
If the site starts to lag or goes offline as the US wakes up, please know that I am doing everything I can to keep it stable while my hands are still literally shaking. Thank you for this insane validation of my work
