How can pages be parsed when behind a paywall?

I would hope there aren't many worthwhile pages with "display: none" for paywalled content.

Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

Let me know if you need any help setting things up!

Show HN: Patreon and Stan.store Alternative

Subscription tiers, donations, digital products etc; an all-in-one suite of features with many integrations.I am building https://subjoin.me and working towards an affordable blend of those two platforms.Soon to come: email marketing flows, analytics.What kind of platforms have you used before? Any features you'd like to see in current mainstream content monetization platforms?

Subscriptions, donations, one-time payments, Discord integration, overview of members and purchases, see simple analytics - it's all in there!

Creators already have their own spaces - Subjoin doesn't want to replace those. Your Subjoin page is a community front page that instead links to other platforms - part of our checkout flow. With that, Subjoin lets creators host their content anywhere and doesn't force members to join the platform itself.

I've been building this solo for 45 days so there's a lot more to come!

Anyone here using community monetization platforms?

I would love to connect with like-minded people on Twitter, follow my journey @tjmakingof

Ask HN: What comes next for Patreon and Gumroad?

They aren't that different anymore in terms of features: one-time payments, subscriptions, discovery/ directory, community (posts, comments, lives) etc.And that's where other similar platforms are moving as well - to being all-in-one platforms for best reach.Is there anywhere left to go? What is the current movement in this niche? What do you think comes next for community subscription pages?

I'm an engineer by trade, no VC money behind my projects. All bootstrapped.I always wanted to build something of my own. This was my first SaaS project. Building it gave me good architecting experience, that I wouldn't have gotten from my 9-5.I really took some time to build it in a way I could easily replicate for future projects. With each new product the process will be streamlined even...

Subjoin has 5% fee, with no subscription cost (https://ghost.org/pricing/). And you have to upgrade with X amount of members.

It does look nice, though! It seems Ghost is an all-in-one paid community platform. Something that has all kinds of bells and whistles you pay for.

It's in a similar niche, but Subjoin has a slightly different direction.

I will be having my next set of updates in coming weeks :)

Ah, the classic!
Re:Show HN: An online billboard I built in 2 weeks on Tuesday May 21, 2024 @04:43PM (#40433640)
Correct, advertiser pays for the slot ($1-10) and the ad will be displayed on a billboard, which rotates through other submissions. You can filter it down via tags.

Eventually, users can subscribe to daily/ weekly/ monthly newsletter with their custom filters (tags) to get promotions for the tools/ services/ products they are interested in the most.
