Ah interesting, I understand. Definitely makes sense if you're targeting new companies that aren't worried about emails/contacts in the beginning.

This is a cool product, but it feels a bit confused.

It seems the innovation here is making the management, editing and publishing of emails much more streamlined through your interface. That's great as it's definitely a frustration of creating emails.

But in the pricing you are focusing on contacts (and therefore "number of emails sent"). First of all, it's very difficult to guess what "contacts" are when considering transactional emails. What if a new user signs up but never uses the app again? Is that a new contact? If I send one marketing email it could be to 200k contacts, but I may only have 1000 transactional emails/contacts per month.

Instead of focusing the pricing around contacts and "emails sent" why not allow customers to "bring their own email platform". This would absolve you of having to worry about email pricing. A custom can connect SendGrid, MailGun or whatever they want. You can then focus your product on the publishing experience (and probably charge a lot more)

I've updated my blog post to include 1Password in the title as it contributed to the issue (I can't update the title here). That said, I've never experienced this before, having used 1Password on 100s of other payment forms so something is up.

I do think there are design issues with people being able to set subscription amounts manually without having a confirmation step when doing so.

Interesting point, I hadn't actually considered what the power consumption of RPis is. I use a few around the house to do various things. Honestly though, the only reason I've used one here is that it was lying around unused. As you mentioned, if I were buying something myself I'd use a different, smaller controller.

Haha, this has happened a few times. Especially if I move the chair that I've been sitting on out of the way toward the sensor.

For me, simply because it was lying around!

I mentioned this in a HN post in the past regarding standing desks, mentioning that I'd created an over-engineered standing desk controller (using a Raspberry Pi) over lockdown as as little fun project. Somebody asked about a write-up for it, so here it is

This is a little project I started up to map all the pubs here in Dublin, Ireland that have a fireplace. It got some good feedback via Twitter (@pubswithafire) and I've since had over 500 pubs added all around the world.

I'd love to get some more good pubs added as well as some feedback and ideas of where to take it.
