I can relate to a lot of this. The customer emails in particular. I was experiencing flashbacks while reading the article. Back in 2014-2015 I created a platform for building crypto trading bots in the browser with Python scripts. You could

They're in the business of encouraging users to post content to get more eyeballs and therefore more ad revenue. So commoditising a way of generating a lot more content is in their interests.

While I agree in general, people who are candidates for ASV have to be screened first by a cardiologist. Certain traits can lead to a much higher risk of death while using one.

Hi there. The app surfaces dates in various ways. In the search results there's an "Active" column that indicates whether a newsletter has published an issue within the last 45 days. Then when you click into a newsletter it w

Right now, no, but you can claim* your newsletter and soon I'll add the ability to edit your listing. The current pricing is the cheapest it will ever be! I'm aiming this at businesses and agencies. I have a similar and quite succ

Hey there. Yes the search isn't perfect yet for certain terms but I'm working on improving it. Did you use the topic search for Javascript? I get quite a lot of relevant results. Note that we only show the top 6 for free users.

When you know you know. It's like the difference between pushing a boulder uphill and downhill. Very hard to predict ahead of time - you just have to keep shipping stuff.

Sorry to hear that. How long were you trying for? A lot of these guys were at it for years and years before they found success. It can be brutal in the beginning. I think it's unfair to characterise the "digital nomad influencers&

Thanks! I wasn't aware of django-db-queue . As far as I can tell it runs in a single process so I guess running tasks will block any others from running. That's probably acceptable for some use cases. Interesting that django-q

Do let me know how it goes :)
