Why give this away? You could have a good business. You’re leaving money on the table.

I'd rather leave $ on the table if it means enabling independent devs (especially those in developing economies) to make $$$

I completely agree, OP could absolutely make this a COSS (commercial open source software) service.

That's the goal :) But without artificially limiting features.

I don't get it.

There are dozens of amazing open source projects posted on HN every week, and on average, the ones out of these that are outstanding and could be turned into a business model are countless every month.

So I don't understand what makes this project stand out so much that it's like leaving money on the table. (this is the first time I'm seeing a comment where the money is apparently on the table because the project is so good).

Good software product/service is a tiny aspect of doing business and turning a profit. The money doesn't appear magically on the table!

I'm curious to learn more, but I wish to opt-out from 3rd party trackers beforehand - there doesn't appear to be any method to do this, so am I (and any other Europeans in the same boat) entirely unwelcome on your site? Or am I missing the feature (I did try and look)?

I thought I'd removed all of the trackers before I launched. It's just using Goat Counter ( https://www.goatcounter.com/ ) which I believe is European-friendly. did I miss one?

If that's the case, then great - but to my ignorant eye the warning notice at the bottom seemed to imply there were some (or, at least - as a passerby - I am perhaps unsure what merits a 'strictly necessary technical tracker') and then there's no visible opt-out. Which makes sense if there's nothing to opt-out from!

I must admit, I assumed a dark pattern was at play.

I'm impressed by how thoughtful the design and implementation is. Good work! I look forward to seeing this grow. What's the idea behind calling it Primo?

Thanks! As far as I remember, I just liked the adjective, and there weren't any webapps out there with the same name, and the domain name was available.

You have been the... first one.

That makes sense. I'll take a look at that; it's probably unnecessary.
