well to follow up my last post, i have spent the past few years building a accessible database/listing for local companies and businesses in my area to be on, no sponsors, features, adverts etc, just an A-Z, the goal is to give a platform to sole traders and cottage industry to bring them into the spotlight in my local area which is quite isolated
Launched Today
and my first comment was someone complaining that
> I should not be funding it myself, I should be charging people or running adverts
>I should not be running this, its a job for my local authority
>i'll do it wrong and have no idea what im doing because im not thinking economically
it costs me $4 a year to host on a cloud platform, im not gonna fucking die
