LS was a good product until the acquisition. We ended up building our own MoR(kelviq.com)

Hi HN,For the past few months, we've been building Kelviq and it's finally ready to share.Kelviq is a Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform that you can integrate without building a custom webhook-to-database syncing layer. Along with handling global taxes, checkout, and compliance, it acts as the real-time source of truth for your users feature access and usage credit balances.Why...

Re:How I made $300K from an open-source side project using dual licensing on Wednesday October 08, 2025 @11:07AM (#45517033)
I built this project about 10 years ago just to learn JavaScript. For a long time, it was a completely free, and I lost interest in it after a while.

Later, when I quit my full time job to build my own startup, I needed something for survival. The first project I picked up again was lightGallery. It was already quite popular back then, so I decided to rewrite it from scratch and implement dual licensing.

So, basically the trust and adoption were built over years when it was free. The monetization came much later.

Show HN: ParityDeals – Stripe billing without writing webhooks or custom scripts

Stripe is great, but is not simple.You end up handling many webhooks, mirroring Stripe data, tracking subscription states, and hardcoding feature checks.Managing upgrades, downgrades, migrations, overrides, and grandfathering often needs custom scripts.ParityDeals keeps that billing logic out of your app.Once you integrate ParityDeals SDK, you can manage everything from a single dashboard.

Re:Show HN: I built a personal productivity tracker for Mac on Thursday August 29, 2024 @11:50AM (#41392093)
Hello HN!

I'm launching my personal project, TimeMaster.ai, today. TimeMaster is an automatic time and productivity tracker for Mac.

TimeMaster runs quietly in the background, automatically tracks and categorizes your activities, and shows you precisely how your time is spent. It tags projects, creates time logs, and provides insights to boost your focus and productivity.

All tracking data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

I'd love to hear what you think

Re:Show HN: I built a tool to track JavaScript library usage on Thursday June 06, 2024 @11:03AM (#40598275)
Hi Everyone,

I built this tool to monitor who's using my JavaScript libraries. However, it takes a lot of effort and resources to keep the project running.

I'd love to know if it could be useful to you too. Any feedback would be really appreciated.

You can detect most of the VNPs and fall back to the original pricing if the user visits your website using a VPN.
Re:Show HN: Auto-generate vanilla JavaScript alternatives for jQuery m... on Monday September 06, 2021 @10:18AM (#28433883)
Sure, Cash is super cool. I wrote this library for my personal use. As I was repeating the same work on multiple projects. While removing jQuery dependency, the hardest part was finding the jQuery methods in the existing project and writing the alternative vanilla js methods without making much changes in the codebase. Yes, I agree with you the events part needs to be improved and well documented. (It actually supports namespacing.) I fixed most of the things in https://github.com/sachinchoolur/tiny-events.js and need to make the changes here as well.

My intention was not to build another JavaScript utility library. I just wanted to make my JavaScript libraries jQuery independent.
