#142A potential sales tip: Going down the list of the $10 plan the first thing I saw was the 300 scripts limit and thought "no way". Pay attention to how supabase does it, basically no limits except compute and storage.

My point was more about the original comment is fine from the perspective of an American, but for the rest of the world, it doesn’t really matter if it is USD or rubles - it’s still a foreign transaction. I appreciate that for a large percentage of the world, consumers can probably do an approximation of the USD conversion in their head, and not a rubles one, and therefore, USD may be more friendly. That being said,…
I'd imagine most English-speaking internet users have gotten used to doing local-to-USD conversions. As someone in the US, I usually know about where CAD, AUD, and GBP are relative to me. Even if you don't know the conversion, something in the range of 50-200% is a lot easier to adjust to, whereas Rubles are on a very different scale (1 GBP = 108 Rubles) Obviously the ideal would be local listings, but USD is probabl…
I have to agree.. given the amount of international business transacted in USD it's a pretty well known currency secondary in most of the world followed by EU then Chinese Yuan and GBP. That said, being in the US can't say how widespread rough translation values of Yuan are to most people outside the Asian/Pacific region.

It's possible the local legislation disallows charging in non-local currency. Eg. can you charge in rubles in USA?
The problem with charging in rubles in the USA isn't the currency, it is that a person who transacts in rubles likely lives in Russia. And, thanks to the Ukraine invasion, the USA has sanctions that make paying someone in Russia rather difficult.
I was somewhat curious about that myself... if someone in the US even could pay for this site/app.

It's clear that the tool is highly useful to the people who use it. That being said, I feel like I'm dumped into the playground without understanding what I am playing with. A few short paragraphs, examples, screenshots, explanations, ect, would go very far.
Yes, we plan to add starter tips with explanations of their purpose.
Just to offer another perspective: I think the way your website works right now is actually very nice and the person you’re replying to is wrong. When I go to godbolt.org, it similarly puts me on the screen where I actually want to be, as a person that wants to use that tool.
I think an “About” page or docs would greatly help people that want to know all of the features offered by the site, but I think the default of dropping you into the tool is ideal.

#146Unsolicited suggestion: since some people are asking "what is this". Maybe buy a new domain name like below (and direct to your existing from this new url). EasyLearnSQL.com TrySQLonline.com LearnOnlineSQL.com All of these domain names are available for sale under $10. And the more descriptive name might allow you to not have to change the UI. (Very cool project by the way and congrats on 11 years)
Alternate opinion: these URLs read as "spammy" to me and I would be less likely to click on them.
It would be apropos to at least have an "about" dialog somewhere, or maybe one of those "quick tour" popups.

Well, those still recur automatically
To my recollection, not the old fashioned kind where you send in a check/money order for the annual subscription.
No, I mean they recur monthly for the prepaid duration. The SQLite online is simply 1 term of access. There's no recurrence of any kind.

#148How do you make money?
Usually people start off by getting a job or apprenticeship. But from there, the sky is the limit! /s
