Nice platform it seems, but I have a couple of questions:

- If it is free, does that make me the product? How will you make money?

- How do you prevent the problems that Flurly had, which led to Stripe closing their account?

Just had a closer look, it seems the second question’s answer is: creators use their own Stripe account, so the problem should not happen here.

Longer answer to your question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37055297

tldr; we might add some paid features in the future but keep the base app free since operating costs are low.
