As a single data point in California, the factor for my solar installation was 15.4% for the last twelve months, so your guess seems pretty reasonable

Gatekeeper also allows you to look over previous traffic patterns and adjust your custom rules. Philosophically, our assumption is that website operators know their sites the best, and know what content they are sensitive about and Gatekeeper is a tool to help review traffic and express custom rules. I think Cloudflare is a better fit for operators who don't want to spend time fiddling with various very granular knobs to optimize for their specific site and their specific concerns.

Gatekeeper can also be used for other purposes. For example, the idea behind Gatekeeper originated because we have a site where we want to make information freely available to humans, but not to scrapers. However, Gatekeeper could also be used to upsell users who frequent your site (e.g. "We noticed you've viewed 10 articles in the past week, please subscribe!").

If you're considering custom logic like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33160679 , Gatekeeper already has a rules engine so that you specify such policies without having to write your own infrastructure.

I'd be happy to chat further to learn more about what you're looking for and to see if Gatekeeper might be able to help. Feel free to reach out via email (in profile) if you'd like to talk more.

Essentially, Gatekeeper is a rules-engine with a fancy UI that allows you to craft policies specific to your site and the traffic that is visiting your site. For example, you can say "Allow Googlebot" and "Show CAPTCHA to visitors from AWS on every fifth visit". If you'd like to communicate offline, you can find our email address in my profile.

Not the personal advice that you're looking for, but would you, your partners, and your investors be interested in selling the zombie startup? We serve enterprise customers, and think that a "couple hundred k in revenue" is quite impressive, especially for just two years with very little professional experience.

If you have current customers, they might appreciate knowing that there is continuity, and might be more open to you if you were to ever reach out to them again.

Thanks. [email in profile]

This describes my situation when I'm hiring entry-level developers: I, the hiring manager, am reading each application that comes in. However, I think this is probably more true for smaller companies that are not venture-backed; venture-backed companies probably have enough funding to hire senior developers (and are probably more rushed to do so).

For the OP: I'm not hiring developers at the moment, but if you'd like to send me your resume (you can reach me through my profile), I can offer some feedback.
