alt Hacker NewsAlright, i had plans to use Github (or maybe something Cloudflare ish) but your $2/m has me seriously interested. I'm reviewing now.
I hate when i see fun side projects that cost the same as full subscriptions to other products. There's only a handful of $15/m services i "want" in my life.. it really raises the barrier to entry when i'm so aware and averse to subscription costs.
Yet $2/m? Instantly sold on that price. It's a fun price, it looks like a fun product, it lines up perfectly for me. It's silly that the price has me almost more interested than the product. Love it
Thanks for this, i plan to try it out!

Totally feel you on this and kudos to these guys, low pricing makes it so much easier to actually try something without second-guessing. I’m working on a similar philosophy with my own project, 99dev — simple tools for indie devs at just $1/month. Starting with lightweight analytics (like a mini Plausible), but more tools are on the way. No bloat, just useful stuff for folks like us who are building things and watching our budgets.
Really glad to see more projects like pico.sh embracing low cost, no frills, indie services. https://99.dev
You could use GitHub pages + cloudflare for free hosting. My neighbor uses that.
$2 is fun for hobbies but hope you are not running in production for your customers with that sort of service level!
Bandwidth limitations has me chuckling though: https://pico.sh/faq#are-there-any-bandwidth-limitations
Any thoughts on how the review will happen when that barrier is reached?
