I’ve thought about this quite a bit but haven’t actually launched anything. One option is to use langchain or another abstraction to finish your MVP/sales demo with OpenAI then set up your own model and do fine tuning after you have yo

Wow! I’m working on the same thing at https://stackstudio.dev right now. Your blog post was really eloquent, it’s always inspiring when someone else shares your idea. Best of luck.

I used to have the pricing up, then someone said I should take it down. Since then you’re the second person to mention it. Any recommendation on where to display it?

Yes, can’t argue with that. Making apps for iOS and usually Android is often way more pleasant. Have you seen any serious proposals on this front?

Here’s something that’s kind of obvious but only occurred to me the other day — if you sell apps for $3 or less, the App Store fee costs about the same or less than anyone else is going to charge under the small business program. Unfortunat
