single_source

Yep, this is what people are not understanding. Too many engineers and not enough business owners on HN. The hardest part of starting a business is getting the network effects on your side, it isn't the tech.

it's too bad you can't loop things together

np! thanks for the response!

Is this open source? Any link to a repo?

I get an occasional request for new features maybe once a month. If I can add them in a few minutes I do, otherwise I tell them it isn't supported and won't be. So basically, no.

Sorry, no monthly.

yeah, I've made my money back so I'm not as concerned about the $25, but there goes any chance of growing the revenue in any meaningful way.

I am getting a kick out of all the people here saying that "no one pays for extensions". I've consistently made $50-100 from mine with no marketing whatsoever.

Just my luck...

I created my extension and started monetizing it March of this year...

tbh, I've already said more than I'd like to about the matter.

I didn't get into the details because I was adamantly against doing it.

Much more than I'm getting paid at Amazon.

I work for Amazon and have had people reach out to me about doing this with a large price tag attached to it.

This isn't quite what I had in mind. But thanks anyway! subscribed!

too bad my channel isn't on the list :(

because they don't get the margin they're currently getting :)

What do you mean by this one? Retirement homes for social media influencers? Cleaning up social media posts from defunct platforms a la Myspace?

Do you mind elaborating on what you mean by "Our regex engine"? I'd love to hear more about what you needed a regex engine written in Lisp for.

I would say the real and more fundamental problem is the anti-competitive behavior. This is what makes their corporate censorship as powerful as it is.

whoa...

I just tried Mastodon yesterday. I was highly unimpressed with the on-boarding funnel and confusing UX.

I think one point people miss is, the social media market is highly competitive. All it takes is for Twitter's UX and on-boarding funnel to be 1% better than Mastodon's for Twitter to win.

Someone needs to provide decentralized social media platform without leaking the decentralization into the UX and on-boarding funnel and I've yet to see anyone do that to date.*

*I'm still looking so if anyone has anything for me to check out I'd be thrilled!

Yep, came here to say this.
