Do you mind sharing how you monetise your directory websites? I'm wondering how much of a percentage you make from advertisements vs devs paying to have their products shown on your site.

Also on a side note I'm reminded of why I hate writing Typescript, just gotta get through the pain of using it for this project

I could go on and on about AI development. Will probably write a dedicated blog post at some point.

How did you gain your first paying customer? Did you take a special approach to marketing to eventually scale that to over 300 customers?
