Ad network for side projects has launched

I'm excited to have launched Tiny Ads. https://tinyads.io A privacy respecting ad network for side projects. It's an old idea (web rings) lifted for a niche. Tiny Ads wants to become a network of smaller projects by linking each other on their respected landing page. The ad will provide a standardized way to display projects across the web. Like a feed layer on top your web page. New users will find your project by hopping from page to the next. I hope to create a positive sum game here. 3 weeks ago I posted a here and got positive feedback. So, thank you. I took it from demo to…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I'm excited to have launched Tiny Ads. https://tinyads.io A privacy respecting ad network for side projects. It's an old idea (web rings) lifted for a niche. Tiny Ads wants to become a network of smaller projects by linking each other on their respected landing page. The ad will provide a standardized way to display projects across the web. Like a feed layer on top your web page. New users will find your project by hopping from page to the next. I hope to create a positive sum game here. 3 weeks ago I posted a here and got positive feedback. So, thank you. I took it from demo to product spending on average 2 hours a day. The backend is written in nodejs + postgres hosted on hetzner. I'm running it on the cheapest tier ~3Euro. Most of the heavy lifting is done by postgres + graphile/worker [https://github.com/graphile/worker]. Images are cached on cloudflare and the server just sends ~400 btyes of json telling the browser what to fetch. I'm genuilly interested how much traffic I can handle with just 3 Euro. The frontend is pretty dumb. Simple html (4kb) with a bit of alpinejs.

    Finally opening signup on my education for business startup, Learndot2013 · ▲55

    HN, I've been mostly lurking, semi-active on HN for over 4 years. For most of that time, I've been working on my startup, Learndot. I have always wanted to do a "Show HN" post, but I never thought it was ready. We've now finally launched web signup and using a freemium business model. I feel I can now post and offer something to the community (a new app to try out) and hopefully get good quality feedback. Here's the site: http://www.learndot.com Would appreciate any or all thoughts: From pricing/positioning, to design/performance. The app is written in Sproutcore and backed by an API written…
