Love it. You should provide a link to Patreon / whatever so people can support you financially. Hosting is probably not cheap for you. Given the love here on HN I suspect you'd do well.


Hosting is actually surprisingly cheap, but that's because I'm hosting it on consumer hardware in my living room, off my domestic broadband connection.

That's both a blessing and a curse. It works okay as long as I don't touch it, but I can't do maintenance without shutting it down. I can't implement crawler changes without a week of shitty results as it needs to visit half the Internet before it gets decently good. I can only afford a production machine, so all testing that can't be done with unit tests gets done there.

Anyway I added a patreon in case anyone wants to toss a coin.
