Using Firebase to more easily add quotes. However, I did not anticipate this much traffic. As another user pointed out, I am probably going to need to cache the quotes to prevent an enormous amount of reads to the database. Feel free to contribute if you have good ideas :) https://github.com/ajzbc/kanye.rest

Yeah, I realized that after it started getting a lot of traffic. The problem is I kinda just made this for fun and have no idea what I am doing. Do you want to contribute? https://github.com/ajzbc/kanye.rest

Hosting the site cost nothing. Using $7/mo Heroku server for API with HTTPS and custom domain. Firebase can quickly start to cost money. Domain around $32/year. So it definitely does cost money to run, but not much at all.

Yeah... I have a small codefund ad on the site, but that doesn't do much because this product is an API. I have a support link, but I don't expect anyone to donate for something they will likely never use seriously.
