I'm kinda wowed that something so rudimentary (the map doesn't even have clustering FFS!) can generate a "life changing" income. Developed during a single flight? It shows. So the real question is, why the $$$$$ valuatio

To do something similar as an individual, I highly recommend 33mail.com [1], which provides a generous free tier, and lets you supply arbitrary <companyname@yourdomain.33mail.com>. As well as knowing where a leak originated, you can e
