I use the @uptimerobot app with iOS critical alerts so that I get woken up if my main app goes offline for more than an hour. But the app occasionally logs me out and I can’t trust it. Any solid alternatives?

PSA if you use Stripe - but possibly only for US-domiciled accounts: Two days ago they enabled so-called stablecoins in checkout and you need to turn it off if you don't want that. I find it incredibly annoying that they would pollute my checkout with this. I operate a B2B

There’s very little mainstream awareness of the fertility crisis and I think that will change soon. Things are going to get bleak. Primary schools are already shrinking or closing in the UK. The government reported ~600k unfilled primary school places last year! In more than

We like to moan a lot about this site lately but this is amazing... I posted a quick lament about dodgy MRR numbers → @levelsio reposts and it goes a bit viral → Marc builds this and within 36 hours it's at $8k/mo 😳
Bye Bye fake MRR screenshots 👋 I built https://t.co/tTyP0BVJh7, the database of verified startup revenues. 1. Upload a read-only Stripe API key 2. Get a free page showing your verified revenue 3. And a nice dofollow backlink as a bonus There's no way to game the system. It's
