Thanks! At the moment it does the conversion for the total price and the price minus Upwork fees but due to the complexity of understanding different tax codes it doesn't do any of that. There will be some unknown banking fees in the transfer which we also don't take account of for now.
I thought it sounded really expensive. My annual AMEX travel insurance is £31 a year, however it does have a max trip length of 90 days so wouldn't be suitable for "Digital Nomading".
A London startup, Rentify, were trying to replace every photo returned by the Tinder API over their network with their CEO's face when they discovered a secret value showing the success rate of a user's photo.
Full marks for fun office hack originality.
0 marks for Tinder for not using https for their photos.
A friend of mine also discovered Tinder was returning dates of birth to calculate age client side, so was able to predict other user's star signs: https://medium.com/haralds-notebook/tinder-should-probably-f...
It proved fairly effective at getting a reply, as you might imagine. Thankfully he had the decency to explain how he guessed.
Possibly not one that can be run by one person but will add this here anyway. Been running this for the last few years, funded and self-funded, full-time and part-time and as a side project. Whilst popular with the users we have and with sounds uploaded from all over the world it never took off in the way we'd hoped and now I'm unfortunately considering shutting it down to move onto pastures new. Though I have been thinking if anyone would want the IP or the platform we've built for another purpose.
1. Website url: https://foundbite.co (Also have Android, iOS and Windows apps)
2. What the project or startup is about (one line)
- Apps for sharing and exploring the sounds of the world.
3. Monthly active users
- Varies but around 600-1000 for our iOS and Windows Apps and ~150 downloads per day on Android. Figures have dwindled since I stopped working on the app for obvious reasons.
4. Source of revenue streams - We were planning on implementing sponsored foundbites but just didn't have the audience.
5. Monthly income (if any ) £0 - current cost to run is ~£150 per month.
6. Adsense enabled? Nope, but something we were considering.
150+ currencies are supported and for now we use this simple API: https://apilayer.com/marketplace/currency_data-api
