I love cars and absolutely love this interior. It's retro-modern and has clear inspiration from Ferraris of the 80's and 90's. Ferrari's interior in the past few models (296, Roma) was absolutely atrocious, and this is a big step up.
You're paying for it one way or another.
It's strange death when the WP market share is at over 40% of all websites [1] and still growing (though slowly). Lots of people might not like it, but saying it's dying is more of a wish than a fact.
WP is still by far the most popular CMS [1] and runs a large part of the internet. So I'm pretty sure it's still relevant.

"Openly advocating a genocide" definitely seems like the wrong side, no matter what many people believe is up for debate.
I've left one after an absolutely horrible experience. They removed it. I had to fight with their support to put it back. The same apartment now has only 10 reviews. All from this year, all 5*.
You should narrate the video, it would make it easier to follow for people who've no idea what you're doing (like me).
The new one has 7.1 0-60 which is pretty solid: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42229923/2023-toyota-priu...
Just in case you were not aware: "OpenAI does not use data submitted by customers via our API to train OpenAI models or improve OpenAI’s service offering." It does for ChatGPT though.

Cofounder matching works well but it's a bit of work and it takes time.
Google is already showing big brands in most cases: https://detailed.com/google-control/
You're joking right? Why would I hand wash dishes if I can have an appliance do it?
With all the arguments how ChatGPT is "just autocomplete", I wonder if these people ever used it. I know it is technically autocomplete, but the end results are so much more than that.
Sorry, forgot to reply here. See the answer a few comments above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490449
We never wanted to go the funding route so this was never considered. While it might have worked, it would prolong the whole thing and make it much, much more stressful.
We tried with a very low-price plan and got a lot of interest & signups. The moment we raised the prices a bit to cover hosting costs, the interest went away.
I have to correct my partner here as his memory is a bit fuzzy. :) We tried a low tier price ($15/m vs regular $49/m) but it did not make any significant difference in signups.
We targeted the high-end of the WordPress market where we competed against Kinsta, WP Engine, Flywheel etc. And the problem there was they were "good enough" (and in some ways muhc better) as I mention in the blog post.
At the same time, the lowend SiteGround had prices below $5/m so we couldn't compete against them in that segment as we were paying more than that to Google Cloud.
It started at $49/m and we were clearly targeting the upper end of the market. It went up to a few hundred dollars and we had a user or two on those plans as well.
That's not... how it works. You still get charged the 25% when you pay it to yourself, you only save the corporate tax. And that only works if you can say that the BiH company is managed there, not in SI. Otherwise you're getting taxed by SI standards and that means no savings.
Also, your toothbrush example is actually illegal and considered a tax evasion by EU and probably most Western countries.
Taxes are way more complicated than you're trying to show. Also, don't underestimate the IRS.
As I mentioned in the previous comments - we're not using PayPal to process our SaaS products.
Founder here. We're not processing SaaS through PayPal, as mentioned in the post:
The most interesting thing is that we’ve moved away from PayPal in the last two years and have only been receiving some minor payments and paying for a few online services.
We've stopped using PayPal for our SaaS business a few years ago.

It's funny how a lot of people say it's not possible, though there are hundreds of thousands of people on the internet who've done it (and I don't mean just exceptions).
For example: affiliate marketing and the whole internet marketing scene is making teens millionaires. I've been in London on this guy's conference:
http://www.georgemontagubrown.com/
He's become a millionaire in 2 years, starting when he was 17. Sure, he is somewhat "special", but I've been following internet marketing and there are 15 year olds that are making 5k$ /month just with affiliate marketing.
You think you're at least as capable as 15 or 17 year old? I sure think I am. Though there is a bitter taste to it all - the above guy made 100k$ with a method, then he sold the method to the public and made himself a millionaire.
Browse a little through IM scene and you'll see it's a totally different world. But it might not be your cup of tea. ;)
Clickbank (www.clickbank.com) which is used by most internet/affiliate marketers is a great solution if you don't mind that they'll manage all your billing/affiliate transactions. They have a secure shopping cart, they automatically pay affiliates and the setup is just 50$ or something. But they do take about 10% of each transaction.
But you can't review your affiliates or in anyway edit their payment process.
On the other hand they have over 10.000 affiliates in all niches.
It all depends on what your priorities are - do you want an army of affiliates or would you just like to offer the program to a few selected ones.
(I'm in no way affiliated with Clickbank, we're also looking for payment processing for our web app)
