Here is a compilation of some questions I got:

What is the backend written in? .Net Core (C#) + SqlServer + Laravel (Frontend) - Running on a Linux Hetzner instance

What Hetzner location are you using? Ashburn US

Is the data from Tradier real-time? Are there any limitations to the data? Yes RealTime, the only limitation is the rate limited to 120 api calls per minute

What are the features updates that have been requested? The features requested are mainly adding more filtering properties and adding new complex option strategies to the screener

What's the agreement with tradier? Why are they providing data for free, can they start charging you if you get bigger? Tradier is offering their market data and trading API for free for established platforms, see here https://tradier.com/platforms Their goal is to create an ecosystem of third party vendors.I can easily add the feature to trade options on Tradier.com from within postoptions.app. If I do that Tradier will make money and I make commissions. This is the essence of the agreement.

How many of your users are friends and family? Zero

Who's your main competitor and why are you differentiated? My main competitor will be https://optionsamurai.com/, my product offers realtime screening, theirs has a delay of several minutes. But overall my product has fewer strategies

The only cost is 20$ for a linux instance on Hetzner. How is that not profitable ? and I live in the most expensive country in the world. Switzerland

They didn't accept it. The revenue is too small.
