https://SaasCustomDomains.com, it started as a side project while I was working on https://sparkloop.app. https://kit.com acquired SparkLoop and I decided to go full-time on SaaS Custom Domains.
It's basically a reverse-proxy-as-a-service. I handle TLS termination and cert management, offer routing rules, rate limiting, WAF + DDOS protection, proxy + web analytics, redirects etc. All accessible via very simple API.
Underneath it's Caddy hosted on AWS for proxy fleets, and Heroku for Web + API fleets.
Any feedback is welcome!

The best engineers I know all started coding for fun too. Not to build "real-life" usable software, but to solve algorithmic puzzles.

Do you have any guess which one? I'd like to add this capability to my app. I want users to be able to open rooms and other users joining to listen.
Ask HN: How to Kill Ticketmaster?
I just stumbled upon news about Ticketmaster paying $10M fine over hacking charges. https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/ticketmaster-pay-10-million-fine-hacking-charges-74976750Every interaction with Ticketmaster left me feeling scammed. I absolutely hate them. My friends feel the same.So the question is, why the hell is this company still operating? What is their moat? How would you...
