Wanted to try out paddle for payment on Growthhacklist - got an email back with " it appears that you are selling products or services that we don't currently support" - no idea why though as i think Growthhacklist should fit in their terms&conditions

@tobihikari that is odd, I think that for me was plug n play, just created an account and integrated, didn't need to pass any criteria… Was it a long time?

Super interesting how everyone is using different tools - would love to start a little article series about the workflow of indie makers. Maybe someone is interested in showing/writing her/his workflow. Think would be great to see how everyone is using the services and we could learn from each other. Let me know what you think!

  5. Bitbucket for code repo.
  6. Google Analytics to track users on landing page.
  7. Amplitude for app events tracking.
  8. Google Cloud for hosting the entire app.
  9. Netlify to host the landing page.

Curatemails is just isn't a side project for me. I am learning with it everyday. Every tech/non-tech choices I have made is for learning and exploring the tool/platform.

Full disclosure: Founder

Digital Ocean is great, but I think one advantage Amezmo has over DO is that you do not have to waste time configuring services, or system software. Laravel framework applications work right out of the box. Many times when building a startup, one doesn't have time do to everythin.
