Nobody is more impressed than I am. It hasn't stopped being amazing to me that it works.
- Nadya 8y agoThank you so much for your work on Neocities - and sorry for sending the HN hoard your way! I personally think the support model is all about scaling properly - or simply not scaling past a sustainable point. As long as the number of patrons scales with the number of "freeloaders" it is a sustainable model. The issue is if you begin to hockey stick and don't restrict your scaling (because you "want to be larger" or you "hope people will donate as we hockey stick upwards"). Once that happens, donation ran sites tend to collapse under themselves - which, for recent examples, is what has happened to so many pomf.se clones. Becoming too popular can become a death sentence. As a support-driven site, can you provide any insight into that? Or offer whether you agree/disagree with the idea? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter.
- bananaboy 8y agoThat's fantastic! Congrats! You should do an interview over at indie hackers :)
