> AWS / GCP can invoice with EU reverse charge so I don’t even pay VAT. With Hetzner I have to claim it back at the end of the year.

Hetzner can do the same as long as you have a valid VAT code.

> OpenAI and Anthropic are both offering coding plans that are possibly severely subsidized

So does Google, in fact I believe their antigravity limits for Opus and Sonnet for the $20 plan has higher limits than CC $20 plan, and there is no weekly cap or I couldn't get it even with heavy usage, and then you have a separate limit for Gemini cli and for other models from antigravity.

I am actually working on a scraping API for serps, currently it only supports Google, may add more search engines if it gets any traction, it isn't ready yet, but hopefully it will be in a couple of days, if you want to give it a go let me know and I can give you a subscription in exchange for some feedback.

Technologies:

- Python, mostly web apps using Django(api, webhooks, handling payments/subscriptios) and data mining.

- Docker and docker compose for local development and production deployment.

- VueJs/Alpinjs - used it to build a SPA and also as a replacement for jquery for small interactive pages, pretty comfortable with it.

- Linux - using it as my daily drive and of course on my servers, I know my way around the terminal.

From a quick Google search: 1m3 of concrete = 150l water + 250kg cement + 700kg sand + 1200kg aggregates.

Even if you used just cement and water I think you would get more than 12L from 25kg.

Nice, in Romania it's about 8 euros for 1 gig, unfortunately 10 isn't available in my city yet.

Edit: Just checked and for 10 G it would be about 10 euros and for 2.5 G - 9 euros, that's a very good upgrade, probably they assume that most users won't take advantage of the full bandwidth.

- Python, mostly web apps using Django(api, webhooks, handling payments/subscriptios) and scraping, mostly using http web requests, but also using Selenium when needed.

- C#, I haven't used it in the last 2 years, but I can get up to speed with it pretty fast as I've used it in the past.

- Go - Beginner level, still trying to learn to use it to the fullest, mostly for web scraping as the speed and resource usage matters when you do 1000s of requests.

- Docker and docker compose for local development and production deployment.

For reddit you can use Infinity or other reddit clients, I use Infinity and I don't even need an account to subscribe to subredits that I want to follow and for me it seems to be a lot faster then the official reddit app.

My First ProductHunt Launch

mike97 — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 10:12:26 +0000

Hi,

I've just created my first product hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/xemailextractor I've been postponing thins since forever, and I was still going to if my co-founder didn't insist on posting this asap, I guess it was the fear of not getting any up votes or whatever, even though there are a lot of good and profitable products that don't get a lot of attention on ProductHunt.

Looking for feedback and if anyone wants to try the product too, I can give you some free credits, just message me on the live chat from the website.
