Quick sidenote: This was built as a frontend app, no backend, which directly talks to the iTunes API in the browser. As a hack, it uses DuckDuckGo's !ducky feature for links.

Really exciting to see this! My friend and I are also working on a very similar open-source SaaS offering, Puppet [1], so much so that we use the same "no code browser automation" words to describe our service. When we launch in t

Yes, the goal I had in mind was to "show off" your upvotes once the cycle is over and not encourage more of them. Similar to Product Hunt's badges [1] which also follows a more strict 1-day product launch cycle. [1] https:&#

Thanks, madamelic. Like I said to codingdave, Staart was built as a tool for me, and I published it to see if others might want to use it too. I agree with you that 2FA, auth rules for teams, etc., may be overkill, but the projects I'm
