Looks great! Please make a plan how to deal with abuse; in the past, most services that provided low-friction hosting stopped being low friction (e.g. they started requiring login with a facebook account), presumably to cut down on abuse (like phishers creating lots of accounts to host phishing sites).
- 1mbsite 8y agoIn the past I ended abuse by adding that recaptcha to registration form. I’m recruiting volunteer moderators as we speak :)
- nkozyra 8y agoThat may stop automated abuse but ultimately that's less of a concern.
- minhajuddin 8y agoThis is going to be a real problem and it is hard for small sites to tackle this. I have simple service (https://liveformhq.com https://liveformhq.com) which allowed users to sign up for an account with a free 1 month trial and it didn't ask for your credit card upfront. Everything was fine until a few months ago when people started signing up and setting up phishing forms (I had the registration form behind recaptcha). At the end I had to move the credit card form to the front to stop these bad actors (and even after this I had 1 guy set up a phishing form which I promptly shut off after an abuse report). The amount of effort spent to handle bad actors is really a terrible thing for the current SaaS apps. And, it ends up making the UX for the good users bad :(
