Congrats on your launch! We had our baby two weeks ago (a mixed race kid as well) -- luckily we managed to find a service here in Australia and get his cord blood stored at the last minute. I didn't know this is a thing and could be vi

One important thing that was ignored in argument was you need to be nurtured in right environment to achieve mastery. Some people have that privilege (being born in right city, admission to a good school and landing a great first job). Pers

Passive in terms of time commitment and effort. I don't think there are truly passive income streams unless you have substantial capital to invest in the first place (eg: vanguards and rental property)

It's interesting that they use Paying Users & Average Revenue per paying user as their key business metrics. I find it simpler and closer to the reality than the MAU & ARR most other SaaS rely on these days.

I built a similar service called https://Page.REST couple of months back, which uses CSS selectors instead of the XPath for capturing content.

One of the challenges with modern day scraping is you need to account for client-side JS rendering. If you prefer an API as a service that can pre-render pages, I built Page.REST ( https://www.page.rest ). It allows you to get ren
