This is mostly because of the posts gaining high engagement and people signing up and subscribing. Many also migrating from other apps.
Expecting the revenue to go down next month
Here's the HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46148460
Also fixing the bug.
Thank you
I am looking into it.
Should be fixed soon.
I had planned only for Paprika app. But adding Plantoeat should be doable.
I'll keep you posted.
Do try out the new version and let me know what you feel about it.
But currently the only competition I consider is Paprika. They have been in this game for over a decade.
I am going to add recipe imports directly from Paprika soon too. For people who would migrate from Paprika to Only Recipe.
I know it's a long shot, but I am going for it. :)
Glad to hear it. Thank you. Do give this new version a try. It is wayyy better than the first one.
My home IP has not been blocked yet since I regularly do human-like operations from it. Hehe.
But on a serious note, you can try services like Bright Data or Apify that have a ton of residential IPs. So if you see a cloudflare block page, just rotate the proxy.
That's a great insight. I'd definitely look into it.
Thank you
Thank you
