Wow, can't be used as a braille alternative that people with sight can also understand?
We at zenskar.com are building a billing platform that can plug into your metering store (in addition to the traditional api way) and generate invoices for your customers. We have a query layer that can be used to define aggregates that in turn can be used to create invoices. I will reach out to you on email to see if we can solve your problems.

Zenskar | Founding Engineer | India | REMOTE (India preferred)

Zenskar is building new-age billing and pricing infrastructure for SaaS companies. As SaaS pricing evolves from vanilla subscription based models to more granular usage based models, legacy billing and pricing infrastructure doesn’t work.

We are looking for an engineering generalist to lead our technical architecture and prototyping. Preferably, someone with a background in Python/Javascript. You will help us build a tech team with processes designed for high iteration speed.

We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and know how to have fun :) Health of our team is most important to us. Balance work with life - be productive, not busy.

Any idea what CMS increment uses? Their site is very lightweight and served from S3, but I'm curious how they might be generating it.

Thanks :). Found one flaw in your already crazy optimized vitpress site - the images aren't cached :P

Your website is super snappy. I see that it has a perfect lighthouse score too. Can you explain the stack you used and how you set it up?
