@shl In your speed <> cost continuum you mean speed of shipping right? ie not latency etc

Stumbled on this on a Sunday night -> cool that your allhands is public

@RaulOnRails Slide 11 - are y'all *still* cashing out the early Gumroad investors from years ago??

Just curious 😅

[Michael Cho @michael_c_h_o]

@ben_makes_stuff Now I'm really curious what did you say?

Keep on truckin, you POS 😘

I've been coding for literally decades and my most common typo is always "endpoing"

why

@nstfkc Exactly

I use <model>-<id> as the input to the hash, with a simple salt

Output a 8 character hash. If one day I get too many collisions I would increment to say 12 chars.

[Michael Cho @michael_c_h_o]

@ben_makes_stuff The problem with my current path:

2 sales of $10 items = $2 to me, to different affs (I rotate amongst 10 different aff offers).

Most affs only payout after say $50

So at this rate it will be a year before I get actual cash

Anybody with experience monetizing newsletters? 🤔

My little language learning newsletter has been growing steadily and seem to be very engaged (see screenshot).

Oh it's https://t.co/ojw6Ctk5DA btw.

@ben_makes_stuff I hope somebody experienced says either:

1. This funnel is good, keep going

2. Or no, you should expect X% of clicks to affs and Y% conversion rate - so look for better aff offers, change your placements etc

I'll test 2 but anybody with a gut feel could speed up testing 🤞🏽

@mattheytens @Aidancramer If that's the process this looks like several days of work just to compile this sheet?

Was hoping there's some API or site which offers this data 😅

[Michael Cho @michael_c_h_o]

@pootlepress @pootlepress where do you get this data from?

My favorite part of working full stack is forgetting whether it's elif, else if, or elsif depending on which part of the stack I'm in

@ben_makes_stuff What is this tool?

[Michael Cho @michael_c_h_o]

@ben_makes_stuff Good luck!

I don't think I'm doing #indiehackers correctly
