I used Hubspot for an abandoned project. Just logged on but made my eyes bleed.

Jokes aside, the UX isn't great but fine product :)

haha, you're right though. Great product, for UI is now outdated, and UX has become so frustrating, too many menus for nothing

Out-of-the-box thought, is it actually landing in Gmail's Spam, or perhaps in 'Promotion' instead?

Its spam! But we figured out why: We were going to hard on Sparkloop co-registrations. People did accept us as a "recommendation" but most of them don't remember, so they started marking us as spam...

Second this, I use Plausible, but SimpleAnalytics is free so I suggest to get started with that.

Just a quick remark: I think it's free only if your analytics are public. At least, it was a year ago.

I scrape exclusively JobPosting schema: developers.google.com/search/…

The job description in here is (mostly) consistent across ATS. The exception being Workday which doesn't include HTML, only plain text.

Let me know if I can set up an API for you, I'm scraping 8.5 mil job per month.

Holy crap! That is a lot of jobs!
So, if I understand correctly, you are scraping directly from Google then?
Man, I have soooo many questions... 😅

Nope job board website put this JS schema inside their page to appear on Google Jobs, its structured data so the description and other informations are always in the same place to help Google (json)

Now I understand. Thanks Damien!

Maybe 1 free month for invited, and non-invited can join immediately but have to pay right away?

Yes, interesting idea. I want to be careful letting random people in (even if they pay), but I can run it as an experiment

Awesome!!

@Remco just filled out the form - would you be able to do a Telegram group instead by any chance? (or a Telegram channel if you just want to use it for announcements)

Most of my business focused stuff is on TG, so it would be nice to use one platform instead of 2

Get the $2500 Microsoft Startup credit for OpenAI!

I have it luckily but the result of OpenAI GPT-4o is subpar compared to Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

I have one client that I charge $400/month. Potential for more but not certain.
I don't want to config a custom solution (for now) which is why Zuplo would be perfect, but I'm using so much data that a big chunk of that $400 would go to them.

Thanks Ben, Tyk looks great but starts at $600/month, not very indie hacker friendly!

Yeah many of these are expensive. How many requests are you getting and what's your budget?

I might suggest just putting cloudflare in front of your API, keeping track of API keys yourself in your own DB, then using Stripe/LemonSqueezy's usage-based pricing model and incrementing usage yourself if you want to save money

That way you don't need to pay for an extra API gateway
