Not personally, but I've been seeing horror stories about LS all over twitter. Completed payments get lost (no webhook, no transaction history), customer support disappearing for weeks, MMR charts being wrong, and more. I often wonder how they're still in business, but then again they are the most expensive in the MoR provider segment. 😅

Uh, that's tough. When was the last time you heard about such things? I wonder if it's still happening or if they have fixed it already.

Cash flow always. But also the cash flow and revenue difference.

$1M ARR in revenue is fun and you can post awesome screenshots on twitter, but it doesn't mean anything if you're left with just 1-5% of that in profit.

Too little margin also tells you the product is too expensive to run, or if people are not willing to pay enough for it to make it sustainable.

Yes, by cash flow I actually mean having money to live your life not just not be in debt :) I also care about cash flow right now.

nope, same rage of a 1000 suns here too!

I actively avoid products that only have a magic link. 🙃

I've done analytics a few times and a few different ways. The best way to pass the review process is to use GA. The most agonizing way to pass the review process is to use something like Plausible. Google didn't understand it, I had to explain multiple times that "it's like GA but better".

But, it's good they take pause when an extension wants to do external network calls. Just be ready to defend them.

If you're going with GA, there's a really good implementation doc: developer.chrome.com/docs/ext…

Cool thanks for the link. Do you think adding analytics affects users? EG are there extra permissions they need to accept?

I guess it’s best to stick to Google’s own products or any of the other big boys. Smaller solutions that are unknown might be a red flag by default

@uwe yeah, you'll get them with streak milestones. :-)

I literally received an email about my first invite a few minutes after you posted this :D

@vladBuild that's for invites you haven't sent yet, I was referring to invites that have been sent.

that's great! Now just the timespan so I know how much longer I need to wait before repurposing them.

Put the files on Cloudflare R2: it's free. They don't charge for outbound traffic, just the number of GB's you're storing. Free tier is 10GB storage, 1million requests.

It's S3 compatible, so you can also do presigned URLs to make sure anyone downloading the files are authenticated first.

Thank you very much. I didn’t cloudflare have free bandwidth. I’ll move to this.
