Day 9 update: someone bulk deleted our entire database today via a security vulnerability. Caught them in the audit logs, patched the hole, personally restored every customer's tile by hand. Reddit thread on the incident got 18k views.

That nondeterministic point is exactly it. The million dollar homepage shouldn't have worked by any rational measure. That's kind of the whole experiment here.. does it still work in 2026 with no budget and no audience? Finding ou

Update: first paying customer came in overnight ! someone from the HN thread actually. They pushed back on the $1.99 value, I built the $9.99 tier based on that feedback, and they bought it a few hours later. That exchange was more valuable
