Hey, OP here. I'm glad it resonated with you!

I would love to take a look at your B2B project for inspiration if that's possible :)



Really cool product! stevoski, if you see this and don't mind me asking, how do you position/sell a product that does less (but is more streamlined) than your competitors?

When I've tried to cold-sell customers in the past, they often want that one feature (a random integration, feature matching from the service I'm replacing, etc.) and aren't willing to make the switch until I add it.

Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if I was marketing instead of selling?


Just to be clear, that's not my product – I just looked at stevoski's profile.


snap :-)

Edit: Snap as in ditto - I would also like to know this, not Snap, the OP somehow founded SnapChat.


gonna make it faster?


Hey, author of the post here.

The whole app lives in Firebase. Once a user hits a profile page, a cloud function runs, get the data from the DB, constructs the page, and caches it at the CDN for 24h.

If a user add/delete something on their profile, the cache is removed. Otherwise, the content is served from cache only with no need for a lot of computation.

With this, you can still get your way through Firebase's generous free tier https://firebase.google.com/pricing


Firebase free tier is only 125k invocation per month. How are covering +1M invocations per month on free tier?


Caches hit on the CDN are not trigerring an invocation.

So it's not covering 1M+ invocations per month on the free tier.
