Sorry I forgot to answer the second part of your question. Probably the difference was poor support on the source site for discovery of my service

Yes, of course. Being on Facebook app store brings me 10 users/day and Google apps for Businesses brought me 1 user/month before I switched it off. There should be a website that lists the apis and gives review on them, even if I have to pay for it

Sorry, I shouldn't have used the term "forced". As I use APIs mostly for user acquisition, I integrated some APIs that didn't bring me any new user, so I took them off.

Only 3 people with 100k of funding in less than one year, impressive!

Of course during low season, there is quite a bit of rain, which helps focusing on developing your startup and not going to the beach.

Amazing article! I am doing the same (bootstrapping from Asia) and would agree with almost anything but the budget. I am currently in Ko Tao (=paradise) and during low season, you get a comfortable room for 8000 baht / month ($300) 5 min from the beach. In Chiang Mai I was renting a large bedroom on Airbnb for $9/day. Vientiane as well is a good option, they love foreigners there and there are a lot of french expats. I would stay away from Vietnam (Saigon and Hanoi) as you have constantly to be on your guards unless you go to Hoi An or Nha Trang. Has anybody tried the Philippines?

I love this idea and I will test it for sure! I will let you know when I do. For consistency I will also add a letter background to get the billing address. Nice work mate!

Amazing work, mate! I will definitely use it really soon on Javascript 2d Games to show how to play the games. If you are looking at monetizing it, you could sell it as a plugin for Crafty.js for instance
