That's right, for a year-in-review post like this it is typical to gain 20 - 50 new subscribers and serve ~10k sessions. Somehow they never seem to spread beyond HN, not sure if there could be elsewhere I should be posting or something

Sorry, what I meant with "recursive" was doing the recursion myself, instead of handing it off to a server like Google's DNS server. If I follow the replies starting from root server one by one, am I likely to hit some limit?

I recently wrote a simple nonrecursive one in Python to see how many domains I could resolve per second. You quickly hit a limit when you try to use something like Google's 8.8.8.8 server too fast. If you do it recursively starting fro

If we wrote those, where could they be shared to?

Good idea, could be worth trying to let people select different frequencies, which practically would mean just skipping the packages in between.

Well I can't say "your payment was processed successfully", because that would give information to people who want to test cards. Rather I manually read through the orders, and only contact people if something went wrong with

Yes, but I really do want to communicate to visitors that this isn't a US-only thing.

In my experience free shipping for subscription boxes is often US-only. Not sure if this has changed since then.

I tried that actually, releasing Pen Japan at one point and had a few subscribers as well. Then I realized I can't really appreciate nice stationery myself. I would need to hire someone to curate it. The quality of the service was poor

It wasn't that difficult. I just posted both as jobs on UpWork, then spent an hour looking through the portfolios of people who applied.

I have long stopped telling people whether their charge worked if an order looks suspicious, to prevent them from getting this information. So that wouldn't work now.

Thanks, fixed the https issue. Maybe I have a too rosy world view, but I don't think rivals would be this mean. Probably some simpler answer. Maybe there's some forum post somewhere like "how I got free candy by using this li
