Fair-source (Semi) universal paywall software

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey everyone! I wanted to show you the FSL licensed paywall tool I developed for for indie creators that can gate content from over 12 different platforms. I wanted to create something that didn't favor just Notion, Coda, or one specific tool and as far as I know this is the only option for paywalling platforms such…

  Hey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6. I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a…

  Hey HN! It's been a while but I wanted to pop back in to share that we just shipped paywalls: a remotely configurable, App Store compliant, and testable paywall out of the box. We shied away from building this for longer than we should have but it's such a huge component of making more money on the app stores we just had to. It relies on native components, but is configurable from the web, which we think achieves a good balance of flexibility and performance. We're just on iOS for now, Android soon, then hopefully more platforms in time.

  A userscript that adds archive URLs below the paywalled HN submissions2022 · github.com · ▲63

  This userscript adds archive URLs to the metadata section of HN submissions without breaking the immersion. Here are 2 screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/PdUu6oG GreasyFork: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/452024-hacker-news-anti-pa... Source code: https://github.com/MostlyEmre/hn-anti-paywall Now let me overexplain. -Why?- I never liked paywalled articles. I understand where they come from, but I don't like where we cross our paths. This is why I don't use major news aggregators anymore. Instead, I spend my…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
