   Hi! The Kubernetes cluster is managed by myself so I have a pretty amount of resources for just 70e/month, and I can scale with one click. I plan on writing about the infra. Of course I'd like to think that this project will work,

   Hi! And thanks :) I think I will likely need to add subscriptions etc if I see that it is requested. But for now I want to keep it simple :)

   Hi! DynaBlogger targets mostly users who don't need WordPress which is a beast and has a lot to offers because it's designed to create many kinds of websites, but like I said in the OP it's often overkill if you just want to

   Hi! It's hosted in Kubernetes so I can add nodes with one click if needed :) I am getting around 450-500 concurrent visitors at the moment and 2K total uniques since I posted and it's like nothing is happening. So in away this p

   Exactly! I find it funny that every now and then someone says that blogging is dead and things like that. I don't see it happening any time soon as well as I don't see people publishing e.g. long form essays etc on Facebook.

    Hi! The templates use Liquid, a very simple but powerful markup language based on HTML. It takes a few minutes to learn! It's the same markup used by Shopify - they created it https://shopify.github.io/liquid/ It&

    Hi! Thanks for your comment, I appreciate :) I am considering an option for self hosting. Need to think about it on how to make it work, but for now I am focussing on the hosted solution :)

    hi! I think that blogs won't "die" easily. Sure social media is all the rage these days but most quality content is usually found on blogs in my experience. I find help in blogs on countless occasions in my job and I am sure

    Hola! Just checked and am not sure what you mean :) Pricing is $8/mo billed yearly ad $9/mo if monthly. Should I make this clearer on the home page somehow? Thanks!

    Yeah I haven't even looked into other countries yet! So it's a mess for an indie hacker like me. I am a team of one and I don't really have the resources to keep myself compliant and up to date with this stuff...

    I would be OK with creating multiple accounts if it's allowed. It's not a big deal and I would very much prefer not polluting the main account with test data. From reading the docs it seems that the passthrough data provided at ch

    What is your estimation based on? My users sign up with my app and at the moment a free subscription is created for them automatically on sign up, and they can upgrade to a paid plan from within the app. So I would only ask them to pick a p

    Hi Krish! So to be clear I absolutely love Chargebee! It's rich of features, very flexible and support is always friendly and ready to help. It's probably the best experience I've had in a while with any SaaS. The problem is

    So Chargebee allows you to configure VAT rates and whether to include VAT in the prices or add it to the invoice amount. However that's just for the collection so you still need to file and pay the VAT yourself. I am still in the begin

    I think it's the same thing with any provider. As long as you have users in your own database, you can just ask them to resubscribe when you switch provider. Not sure if some users would cancel because of this inconvenience.

    I have users in my database anyway, so in the worst case scenario I can just revert to Chargebee (I will leave the current integration as is just in case, and disable it in favor of Paddle) and ask users to subscribe again without recreatin
