That doesn't make sense. Even a non-verified user lives as a row in your database. Sure, you can delete them if they haven't verified their address after 24 hours, but that doesn't mitigate the problem of filling your databas

Great work, I like it! When taking on new contributors, you'll need to be headstrong with regard to which features you see as superfluous. You'll get a lot of feedback like "Whaat, no X? A browser has to have X!" and you

I run http://patentsexpiringtoday.com which pulls its data from a government API. It's not making any money on its own, but generates some traffic to my other side projects. It gets about 2-5k visits per month.
