I was excited about trying that in slack but got:

Honestly, I'm always blown away by accounts if "so I just wrote a binary switcher" dropped casually like this. I'm a software engineer and have been for over five years, but wouldn't even know where to _begin_ with something like that. Well, I would, I'd end up vibecoding a slop solution I didn't really understand.
How did you know / learn how to write a binary switcher?

I quit somewhere around Tele-DAD being popular and ran Lightsworn myself. The introduction of Synchro really changed the pace of the game. Did it speed up more since then?

I see you have Revolut listed under fintech. If that makes the cut, I'd suggest also adding Monzo (https://monzo.com) and Starling (https://www.starlingbank.com) who both have wonderful APIs, especially Starling.
I have lost endless hours to Mindustry both on my phone and my PC. Really fantastic games, currently on its seventh major revamp.
If anyone is unsure about it, it's a bit like Factorio meets Tower Defence meets RTS.

Genuine question: Why would anyone purchase this for $299, without the ability to use it commercially? For open-source projects?

Amazon SES is great, because you pay per email and the rate is incredibly cheap. Mailgun is very expensive though, and the problem is they have a very limited free tier, and then you must jump up to a $35/year package that gives 50,000 emails - this is simply far too much for many projects early on in their rollout.
I prefer something like Brevo, which has smaller jumps per tier or even something like MXRoute for $49 per year (limit of 300 emails/hour)
Edit: Completely forgot about ZeptoMail by Zoho - incredibly good value service.

I'd like to take you up on that, if you still have one going?
