   Thanks, I agree, maybe like a "pull request" that can be accepted / validated by the owner

   From what I've read they just gave a few hints such as the number of subscribers for Tinder Plus or the overall increase in revenue for Match Group, but not a lot more than that.

   You can see the source for that 500 estimate below in the model (or if you click on the variable name). 200 was in October 2016 and they planned to double in the next 12-18 months.

   frankly that's a weak part of the model, I have no idea how much they spend on marketing

   thanks, I will try to update that ARPU number

    Spot on, a big inspiration for me ! I really like RapGenius and even looked at some of their UI while I was developing this. Either this or "GitHub for business plans" (but many features missing for that, to collaborate, fork, go

    True, there might be people spending a lot more than the average cost of a basic subscription. I don't know the product well enough to evaluate if having Tinder Gold is enough or if some users also buy one-off app purchases in addition

    Thanks ! Indeed, that's actually something I should have added before posting here (to collect a few emails for future updates). Timeline is also a big area of improvement. It's good to be able to see a snapshot at a moment in tim

    Definitely something I'm thinking about. Maybe even some kind of "confidence interval" of confidence ratio could be added next to an estimate.

    thanks for the feedback. It's funny now that you mention AppAnnie I just remembered an old project I did in 2010 called AppsMetrix trying to estimate the number of app downloads based on what data was available (number of ratings, revi

    Thanks you're right I've updated to "Revenue & Expenses Estimate" on the page title. Indeed there are a lot of norms about how these reports are presented in the financial world, but for the common people it's o

    At the moment there's only one level of submodel, but yes this can definitely be an interesting addition. Wanted to keep things simple at first. Maybe this could be an advanced feature.

    Yep, you just read into my mind ! Also think it could be great for education, in the information age it's still not easy to understand how businesses work exactly for most people.

    Thanks, and yes it's elusive :) Sure, will need to add this. Can't avoid taxes!

    Thanks, agreed it could be extended to other types of models and estimates !

    Yeah I'm sure a company like Buffer could be willing to share that information (like they already do for their revenue on the Baremetrics "open startups" page) I agree employees (and past employees) could offer valuable infor

    Right, thanks

    yeah I'm not completely happy about how it looks either, will probably have to work with someone better on design/UX for that. if you have ideas on how to improve or feedback on the parts that were not clear don't hesitate

    it's fine, can't back down now anyway :)

    Is there a variable in particular you think is too low ? I've taken the number of subscribers (3M) from Match Group report. But I've taken the assumption that there's high churn and they don't all pay for 12 months. Let

    Yes I've done that manually. In my head I would love for it to be something even more collaborative 'Wikipedia-style' and people would help keep the numbers up to date. Of course that could only work for popular companies if

    thanks will do, and just temporarily upgraded to a better dyno on Heroku... I was on their small Hobby things, mostly good for side projects and it crashed!

    Well to be honest you might be right. I didn't think it would get so many upvotes, just wanted to throw an example out there to see the reaction and make sure the site doesn't crash. It's good content though, I did some genui
