Remote OK Open Startup
Remote OK Founder Pieter here, thanks for submitting this and I hope everyone enjoys seeing it.<p>All of this is possible because I've been a HN reader since 2010 and was inspired by all of you and especially @patio11 on here to bootstrap my own things and do it VERY publicly. My entire marketing strategy is just sharing all my ups and downs, instead of paying for ads. A lot like @patio11 did in his blog posts.<p>This /open page is just another part of that besides my incessant tweeting about every little feature I built for years at <a href="https://twitter.com/levelsio" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/levelsio</a>.<p>I still can't understand it's over $1M/y, it's an insane number for me and I think I would have never believed I'd ever get there if you told me years ago. COVID had a lot do with making remote work suddenly big and my site benefits from that a lot.<p>Thank you Hacker News!<p>P.S. This wouldn't be possible without my server guy @daniellockyer, who has helped keep my VPS up for years.<p>P.S.2. I donate 5% of all revenue to <a href="https://stripe.com/climate" rel="nofollow">https://stripe.com/climate</a>, with about $75,000/y being donated now.
