I used it twice. It's good. You can also just take payments under your own name if it's a small project but otherwise stripe atlas is good. Only pay the delaware llc fee every year and that's it.
I made a vscode extension which I charge money for. I mainly relied on reddit + seo to gain users. Eg: I made interesting reddit posts, and made a pretty website. Then users find it organically
For me it was the developer experience and credibility. I run a small project (~4k arr) and I don't mind paying fees since it was so easy to set up. Also, the investment required to learn these things. I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring everything, I just want a simple page and that's it.
Work in a job where you talk to people (eg: supermarket) and you'll pick up listening skills. Also listen to family, friends, etc. I mean half of the battle is literally being open minded and just genuinely be interested in someone. If not, then why else are you listening to them?
Not a lot. I do exactly this and I'm only left with a few hours per day to do whatever I want. I could obviously sleep less/eat out but that's not worth it imo.
Interesting launch. I saw you were the original founder of tabnine. I’m curious as to what you’ve learned since you launched tabnine in 2018, and why you’re deciding to create another code completion ide extension.
I had the idea for the technology first and decided that code completion was the application where it would be the most useful. It's a proven market with Copilot having over $100M ARR.
There are lots of other potential use cases for the technology, but they involve more business risk (ie, the risk that you create a technically sound product that isn't very useful).
