mrlagmeron Tell HN: I made $1000 with my app and now making $500/mo

Hey nice work. I have been getting into weight lifting once I hit 40 and really enjoy it. I suggest looking at stronglifts app if you want to see how to grow this. That app is great and after a week I had gone to the premium subscription.

I feel you are missing customers with the site saying that the app assumes you know how to do 5/3/1.

You should have a how to page on your site. Anyway great work congrats.

Victoria took 110 days of lockdown to get back to "normal" in lockdown number 2. We are now on lockdown number 6 and have spent over 200 days in lockdown. Can't go more than 5km at current have a 9pm curfew. I would not say it is working well.

mrlagmeron Show HN: Hookdeck – An infrastructure to consume webhooks

This is something I am looking into at current as we are moving our subscriptions into chargebee and they send a lot of webhooks so this would be ideal for us.

Alex do you have any way to get a good estimation on total number of webhooks we would need to help with working out the best plan?

Thinking team plan would fit but not sure. Anyway is a cool product and solves us having to build the same thing in house.

mrlagmeron A Doctor’s Dark Year

It is interesting to read stuff like this. We never had it bad in Australia so when you read something like this it makes you thankful for how we have handled it. Amazing that we will have 80,000 people at a football game on Sunday.

mrlagmeron Ad block and you don't stop

I wonder how many people would be well paid and working in tech if we did not have ads. Without ads, most of the big tech company would not exist and you would not be so highly paid.

So not sure I understand the hate ads get. I like having a job and getting paid.
