🤣 in real world exchanges, I usually go by "Boon" because it's also pronounced like the English word. So feel free to go by that :)
Hello!
Hello there!
Hi Hwee-Boon! I’m at the gym trying to pronounce your name, wish I could leave voice note to check in with you! 😅

Hello!
I used to use Heroku and have switched to Render for my newer projects. It's basically a newer and cheaper version of Heroku.
I was just researching recently because there's a fair chance I might ship a few more projects and see which sticks; so wanted to know what is a more cost effective option to have many, low traffic sites. Even Render starts to get expensive as you run more of them (I still have projects hanging around from more than a year ago).
If you are using Ruby on Rails, It's worth checking out Hatchbox.io. It looks really attractive price-wise. I can't use it unfortunately because I'm using node/bun. I'll check out coolify.io/ at some point since that seems to be closer to Hatchbox.io but not tied to RoR.
I built this little comparison calculator for the services I looked at for SEO, but you can see if it helps you at least get an idea of the difference in models of PaaS vs VM vs VM+hatchbox pingnow.net/hosting-comparison
Not sure if you are looking for feedback for only visuals: But I usually look for the archives to check out at 1 previous issue before deciding if I want to subscribe.
That's fair enough - but a lot of other newsletters don't do this e.g. trendsVC, MarketingExamined etc. Maybe I'll a/b test this
Quick one because I had to go:
There's an exception when I visit www.backlinker.ai can't reproduce it.
In the email, "Click the link below to login to Backlinker..ai" has ".." instead of "."
Coolify has a self-hosted version though. How are you positioning your solution? I saw your landing page. Are you just selling a hosted version of Coolify with you managing it at a slightly lower price?
Coolify still requires configuring your servers + resources + understanding of Coolify (e.g. proxies, redirects, ssh keys, backups, etc.)
Indiehost would be even more of an abstraction (sign in with cloud provider + connect git repo and it does the rest)
Of course, the abstraction has its drawbacks (less control), so would be targeting simpler use-cases
Then a possibly, closer reference might be cpanel.net
