Two answers: • The operating costs are very low, since all Easyful does is email your customers your content when they buy it. • Our team at nicer.io is primarily a product agency,…

We started building Easyful while looking for a platform to fulfill orders for Standerd, a Figma UI kit our team uses that we sell: https://www.standerd.co/

We’ve run Smallchat, a default-free saas app, for a few years now, supporting millions of users. Our experience: with low-operating-cost saas apps like this, you can add a paid tie…

Good question: because we’re not handling payment processing or anything, just emailing users your content, we think Easyful can be default-free forever. If we get a bunch of usage…

Stripe actually does collect VAT and helps you file and remit. Check out their docs page for doing this with Payment Links, which is what Easyful uses: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/…

Good question: we mostly built Easyful to use ourselves, but if it gets a significant of usage we might build some more advanced pro features and sell those features as a paid tier…

Hi HN, If you’re selling templates or digital assets online, platforms like Gumroad have a ton of amazing features . . . but they’re also expensive. It’s not uncommon to be paying …

Hey HN! I built https://wsbindex.com this week, a site that uses the Reddit and Pushshift APIs to compile popular posts each morning from r/wallstreetbets for fun and (maybe) profi…

Hi HackerNews - Smallchat dev here. There are a lot of great chat platforms out there. Smallchat is different in one way: we built it for the little guys. The freelancer. The local…
