Even from their own curated examples, this looks quite a bit worse than nano banan in terms of preserving consistency on image edits.

This doesn't say anything. Exactly how much have you tested and what were the results?

Thanks, it doesn't make too much of a difference for me since it's still hovering on top of those flashy colors.

Btw, I see that my original comment has been flagged (not saying that it was you kiez). Maybe because it was low effort? Understandable if that's the case. I figured "This is extremely uncomfortable to read." would make sense for anyone that saw the sharp pink and yellow backgrounds combined with grungy text. I'm pretty sure I have photosensitivity though, so maybe this is not a widespread issue.

I would actually be less worried. The support at paddle is much better than what I've seen from both stripe and LS. LS had decent support a year ago, but has really dropped off. Moving to stripe makes me excited about their product, but more worried about the support.

Can you comment on if LS marketplace is still happening?

As a current user of LemonSqueezy, I cannot recommend it.

There is also paddle, which has been around for a lot longer: https://developer.paddle.com/classic/api-reference/4c7d88de5...

I looked at paddle initially, but was not too happy with their chat support. The content of the support was great but the response time was about 1 day, which made it difficult for a chat type conversation. In retrospect, I could've tried writing longer messages.

So I was looking for an alternative and found LemonSqueezy. One of the founders actually helped me onboard, which I was very grateful for. At the beginning the support was great, but it has degraded a lot since. If you go to their slack, you would notice many people complaining about issues being unattended to for weeks and months. I've had first hand experience with this too. I suggest you go to their slack and check out the state for yourself.

In contrast, paddle's response time was better and higher quality too. I'm strongly considering switching to paddle at this point.

I had been happy with Apple for many years but encountered some really terrible experiences lately. There was a systematic problem on Apple’s side (related to the recent increase in iCloud subscription fees) and they cancelled my extra iCloud storage. To be fair they did give me a refund for the extra storage prior but I thought it was related to the pricing changes and didn’t think much of it. Other than that there were no warnings until the extra storage expired and they sent me an email saying the storage is full. I resubscribed immediately but iCloud mail could not send or receive anything for several hours afterwards, except for receiving emails from Apple.

I also have had several instances where iCloud Drive would take forever to sync. The most recent time got so bad (100% cpu usage that persists after killing the process when I added 5KB worth of files) that I stopped using it completely. Tried Microsoft OneDrive instead and it synced at good speeds and gave me no problems.

This looks so good! I missed your original post and wanted to add some comments here.

Saw that your screener filtering is instant. Do you have everything loaded to the client side? If you want some feedback, I think the filter slider for the active rule could use a bit of a redesign. The magenta color is too vibrant for me and the actual bar itself is barely visible (could use more contrast against page background).

For data providers, have you looked at EODHD? They are a bit more expensive compared to FMP but the data is a lot higher quality from what I've seen and they have 24/7 live chat support. I don't know if it would fit your budget but could be worth to ask their support. Disclaimer: I build something similar in this space and I'm currently trying to migrate from FMP to EODHD.

Always fun to see others build tools like this. Would love to chat more on discord if you are up for it. Just followed you on twitter so we could go from there. glhf
