Wow this is crazy!


Yeah when I first looked at the analytics in the Google Play Console I thought there must of been some error. Figured it would be a fairly quick thing to sort out with Google support.


Wow that's awesome, thank you!


This is awesome, congrats p12dpraneeth! I love that this runs directly in the browser so I can keep my data private. Will it brick my browser if I run it on a 100k+ list though?


Probably automated trading.


That's a great idea! I work at Cloud 66 (http://www.cloud66.com) and we let you build your own Heroku on Azure and benefit from this $500k and Heroku-like simplicity. You can also migrate between cloud providers (including Azure and the ones mentioned) if needed.

We think this is a great way for startups to use the tons of cloud credits they get, instead of letting them go to waste or spending precious time on setting up infrastructure.


Macau, a former Portuguese colony, is full of these pastries. This may be how they entered China...


Indeed, they were popularized in Hong Kong via Macau:

    Custard tarts derived from the Portuguese pastry were
    introduced in Hong Kong in the 1940s by cha chaan tengs
    via the Portuguese colony of Macau.

Hopefully no Chinese voiceover this time :)


Looks pretty cool, is it built on top of DigitalOcean? I work at http://www.cloud66.com and we're doing something similar (but on several clouds)


@pkallberg yup, it's entirely on DigitalOcean


I love what Pieter's doing! There may not be a business model at the moment, but getting these products out of the door is a first step. After 12 months, he'll have a good idea of which ideas work, which don't, and what to pursue next. Good luck!


Well I mean this product as it currently stands will give him an idea about traffic to a crowdsourced comparison site and little else. What'll be the business, putting on ads or allowing cities to pay to become "featured" nomad hubs?

You can say that lessons learned from launching 12 sites will help pivot into one that works as a business, but that's one company with 12 products, not 12 companies.

For one, ads are not a bad idea. Startups are not just for $5 billion buyouts -- they can also be $500/month side projets.

Second, he already said he has an idea about selling guides for how to setup business in each of those places.


monetising a website by putting ads or affiliate links on it does not qualify as a "startup" in my opinion. It bugs me how the hacker community throws the word startup around willy nilly.
