    I agree. That is a good metric. Some say you should only build products that you would use yourself. While I use surveys, I don't think I'm the target market. So, your metric of bu…

    Thanks for the feedback. I am working on the $1 to be processed separately from the 25 cents so that you can write the amount off. That's a good idea to give customers the option t…

    Thanks man. There were quite a few Romanians that messaged me, so I think there is a startup spirit in Romania. For anyone interested, I am organizing a Startup Meetup in Cluj on D…
