Remote OK Founder Pieter here, thanks for submitting this and I hope everyone enjoys seeing it.

All of this is possible because I've been a HN reader since 2010 and was inspired by all of you and especially @patio11 on here to bootstrap my own things and do it VERY publicly. My entire marketing strategy is just sharing all my ups and downs, instead of paying for ads. A lot like @patio11 did in his blog posts.

This /open page is just another part of that besides my incessant tweeting about every little feature I built for years at https://twitter.com/levelsio.

I still can't understand it's over $1M/y, it's an insane number for me and I think I would have never believed I'd ever get there if you told me years ago. COVID had a lot do with making remote work suddenly big and my site benefits from that a lot.

Thank you Hacker News!

P.S. This wouldn't be possible without my server guy @daniellockyer, who has helped keep my VPS up for years.

P.S.2. I donate 5% of all revenue to https://stripe.com/climate, with about $75,000/y being donated now.
