我突然發現我小時候用蚊帳是因為我媽是越南人,我很少見到台灣有賣蚊帳的地方,我朋友直接在越南買回來了蚊帳。突然覺得很有親近感,我第二次看到蚊帳也是在我越南的親戚的台灣的家。

最近處理一些人的問題,根本原因是互相缺乏溝通,對親近的人更是如此,最終得出的結論是:有事情就不要憋著,雖然把事情說出來不一定可以被解決,但憋久了不說出來基本上會出事

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

digiday.com/media/former-subst

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

Here’s some napkin math for how expensive Substack is compared to its competitors, assuming that roughly 7% of all subscribers will pay for their subscriptions, and that subscriptions cost $5/month.

Spreadsheet comparing pricing of newsletter platforms: 7% paid @ $5/mo							
	Substack	Ghost Pro	Self-hosted Ghost*	Beehiiv	Buttondown	Mailchimp**	
10 subscribers (1 paid)	$0.50	$9	$12	$43	$9	$20	
50 subscribers (4 paid)	$2	$9	$12	$43	$9	$20	
100 subscribers (7 paid)	$3.50	$9	$12	$43	$9	$20	
250 subscribers (18 paid)	$9	$9	$12	$43	$9	$20	
500 subscribers (35 paid)	$17.50	$9	$27	$43	$9	$20	
1,000 subscribers (70 paid)	$35	$15	$27	$43	$29	$45	
5,000 subscribers (350 paid)	$175	$65	$27	$78	$79	$100	
10,000 subscribers (700 paid)	$350	$99	$27	$96	$139	$135	
25,000 subscribers (1,750 paid)	$875	$165	$87	$149	$239	$310	
50,000 subscribers (3,500 paid)	$1,750	$315	$217	$219	$319	$450	
100,000 subscribers (7,000 paid)	$3,500	$565	$412	$290	-	$800	
							
							
* Assuming $12 hosting fees, but you can get this number down lower. Assumes ~weekly email sending.							
** There may be additional fees to monetize MailChimp newsletters since it’s not built-in. This also assumes ~weekly email sending.							
Flat fees calculated based on cheapest plans. Also calculated based on annual billing, if month-to-month amounts differ.

My short story is:
1) I noticed a toot about (Instagram-like open source project)
2) After some research, I found that the app is written in pure :kotlin: and uses good architecture practices
3) It took me a few days to run it on iOS
4) I contacted developers and asked if they were interesting to port the app to iOS
5) Now the app was approved and released on the App Store! (the app is open source and paid because it is a kinda donations)
