Hi, my name is Andrew and I’m a micropreneur!

Things I've built: meatinapark.com.au ezyzip.com pokerstoker.com facetache.com

And a bunch of half-baked, half-ready abandoned online relics!

There is a large cohort of people who will complain about ads but also don't want to pay. My little microSaaS is monetised with ads but I offer option to pay if you don't like the ads. Still get plenty of complaints about the ads.

After adding UPI as a payment option to my little microSaaS, I'm finally starting to see sales in India. Was like trying to extract hen's teeth to get an Indian to sign up before that.

I bet if you pay the equivalent 60s/70s dollars to fly today you'll get much better service than back then! Modern first class cabins are a class above what was available back then.

OpenRouter falls in the acceptable use category. They targeting users that are misusing their Claude OAuth token on non-Anthropic products.

$7 per 1000 searches seems steep. Don't think I will sign up to something where I have no idea if I'll make money, considering I'll also be sharing the commission with you.

The Pro account is only $20/month and works with Claude Code.

Yeah, it's all client side. Which is why I was able to just leave and forget about it for so long. Was hosted on an S3 bucket. There's tons of libraries out there that does client side compression/decompression. Just search through github! :-)

Can relate. I built a little web utility back in 2009. Did practically nothing with it (occasional updates every 2/3 years) and it slowly accumulated inbound links and google ranking. Then finally in 2019 I decided to put a bit more effort into it. Now I make my living from it! :-)

I like that I can embed a bit of vue code into an existing web page. Bit like old school javascript. AngularJS 1.x was like that too and the inspiration for Vue. React/Angular require a whole build process with NPM/webpack etc etc to create a SPA.

Thats a dumb argument. Boeing still makes 747s, which is the same age.
