I'm not endorsed by this, just thought it was interesting it got into YC...

Slack moved us off the free plan to the 5k plan, which is fair considering thousands of users; it costs money to host those servers.

FYI Hack Club helps fiscally sponsor organizations that do not have the capacity to apply for nonprofit status (https://hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship/). The 7% income covers dev fees for lawyers, engineers and a bunch of other stuff to help it kept running.

Hack Club was on a grandfathered free nonprofit plan, but switched to a 5k/year on earlier this year under a special deal with Slack. Now the price is increased to 50k one time, and then 200k a year

What's even more interesting is there is no DNS records for important.g.co, which means they have found a way to create an Google Workspace without verifying the domain but still able to send emails like password resets.

It's definitely a glitch where you can send emails/transactional emails from an unverified Google Workspace. My guess is that their are protections for google.com and google domains but they forgot to add the g.co domain, which allows unverified sending to g.co and creation of workspaces.

Hack Club has absolutely changed my life, I live in a suburban area and there are not many people interested in tech but Hack Club has allowed me to find people like me. I’ve done things I’ve never thought I would do and it’s been such a great thing in my life.
