Hey! A few things if I may add...
1. Singlelink is 100% open-source, meaning if you'd prefer to self-host it and not pay the $8/Month to us, you can! :)
2. Thanks for the notifications about Neutron.so and Openstack. We sunsetted these awhile back internally, but never put out a proper notification so that's something I'm going back to do now since it's not clear.
Thanks for the comment (and notification about that typo), I really appreciate it!

That hadn't gone unnoticed. (Good choice of a license, btw.)
The comment about the prices was not a specific complaint, just an observation about a trend that has always been surprising.

Thanks, we're big fans of GPL too :) And fair enough, appreciate the clarification!
(Aside from that, I'm continually astounded when I see services like these and notice that the prices listed are per month rather than per year. I'd expect this to be $10–20/yr or thereabouts, tops, but then I see that the non-free tiers start at $8/month and wonder to myself, "Who actually pays these kinds of prices, especially for these kinds of services?")
All the screenshots on the neutron.so landing page are blown out of scale (>1×). I'm browsing with the window on the right half of the screen. The image https://neutron.so/git-websites.png for example is 520px × 340px, but it's scaled to 768px × 502px, so it's not nice to look at because of how fuzzy it is.
Openstack is confusingly named, colliding with OpenStack.
