I'll be hanging around for a little bit to answer any questions.


Congrats on building something and posting it!


This person is very considerate. They are already in a mindset where they will help others. They just dont see how herd immunity works.

I'm looking for interactive simulations that show how a certain vaccination rate 'tips the scales' and keeps the whole community safe. Something like this but a little more user friendly (eg using sliders and slick animations):

Can you give some examples of this financially incentivized OSS that falls under 'crypto' ?


Much of crypto codebases are open source, where at the end of the day you're pushing to an OSS codebase.

If you're paid by a crypto co., foundation, grants, or are financially incentivized by your crypto holdings to contribute, you're often within the bounds of both OSS & crypto.

example: devs that've contributed to Defi projects e.g. uniswap, or received ethereum or solana grants for their OSS code (i think nearly everything user-facing in these organizations is OSS).


Thanks, i'll check it out.


This is great, thanks for your post.


Thanks, I'll check it out.


Thanks for your response.

Its the interesting use cases I'm trying to find - the kind of easily understandable case studies that make for a good narrative. Hence the reason for my post.

I dont need to worry about the technical details.


I also think you are undercharging for a very useful product.

The utility of what you are offering is significant. If I'm a 'cost conscious' startup and I need CSV upload functionality then I either write the functionality myself (30+ hours of dev time + ongoing maintenance?) or I use your service.

If the product works as advertised, you could charge $19/month for a basic plan and that will always be better value than 30+ hrs of time a developer will have to put into the CSV problem with all its annoying edge cases.

My suggestion is to modify the free plan such that users can upload 10k+ rows per upload, but only 20-30 times per month. Then your 'cost conscious' startup with only 5 customers can test your solution, know that it works for non-trivial amounts of data, and happily fork out $19/month when they hit 20+ customers a month and become less 'cost conscious'.


Thank you for the feedback. It makes a lot of sense. This is a common advice received from a few folks here. We are sure to work on it.


And yet using music libraries (specifically Youtube Music in my case) is a source of both pain and frustration.

Image libraries have done well, yet I feel music management has gone backwards.


I’m happy with iTunes match, which gives you access to anything you own on Apple’s servers for streaming, plus uploads whatever you have and they don’t have.
