Currently, we pay for a single Slack user (me), but each person who works on Cushion-related things are single-channel guests. I work with one other full-time dev, so he's in the #dev channel. I work with an editor in the #content chan

Crap—I'm one of those people who didn't scroll. :( I hate when that happens. My b. Thanks for the info!

We would, but unfortunately, we need their "old" SSL add-on to get SSL to work with the root URL of our invoice url, in.vc. Apparently, the new SSL doesn’t work the same.

I haven't, but I'll check it out. Seems like it's still beta? (says not to use in production)

Fortunately, I was able to find a really great lawyer who is actually affordable (previously interviewed a few law firms who were $700+/hr). Besides incorporating, legal costs haven't been too high. Just the occasional contract he

Spot on. It's also tougher with individual users where $10-$15/mo is the norm. B2B services have it good.

The name is Cushion.

Oh, okay—I browsed the website and couldn't find anything about a paid tier. nod

Cushion is a tool for freelancers to manage their schedule, forecast their income, and track invoices. Time tracking is also dropping soon.

Hi! Great question. I love static websites, but we hit a point where we were updating the site constantly and needed dynamic content, like the running costs (which pulls its data from a google spreadsheet). There are certainly ways to do th

Looks nice, but I'd never not pay for a service because you're paying somehow, or the service won't be around for long.

I noticed them a while back, but I'm happy with Intercom. They're good people.

I think I wrote that when they had their older pricing, or I didn’t realize their real value. Also, I’m pretty sure we could run Cushion on a single dyno, but I like having two around to balance.

Thanks! Not entirely sure, but I think we’d at least cut the cost in half. Aside from user count, we still use a lot of their packages, which have a decent base price.

We just made the page static to handle the HN traffic, so there were a few seconds between the switch. pulls collar Didn’t expect to get featured today.

Yes! I should actually add that expense, too... Thanks for the reminder. :)

It’s less about distinguishing the app with another font and more about designing the app with what I had in mind—the system fonts and more affordable fonts didn’t feel right to me. Even though I consider myself more of a developer, I went

Let’s Encrypt wasn't around when we started, but we do use them for our marketing site and will migrate the app when we need to renew our current cert.

Heh. I was curious if anyone was still subscribed.

Thanks! In all honesty, we're way over Heap's free limit, but they haven't throttled us or reached out, so shhhhhh. Intercom is so worth it. We wouldn't be in the same position without it. The reason it's so high (a

We've thought about it, but Cushion is incredibly lightweight and doesn't need to be used constantly, so our load is very low. We've only needed 2 dynos since we launched and we're nowhere close to needing more than that

We switched to Intercom for sending our monthly email simply because its email editor is so good. I wish a proper email marketing service would come close to their simplicity, but I haven't seen anything yet. We might be moving back to

Ha! Not at all. It was a big expense, but I think it’s worth it for how we use it. The domain is "in.vc" and it’s used when sending an invoice link to clients. Instead of sending a super long link and possibly confusing clients wi

Hi! The crossed-out costs are ones we no longer use. We either no longer needed that service, or we found a better alternative.

Unfortunately, no—that's a different license, which is strangely much more expensive than a web license.
