Closed

After almost 2 years of highs and lows, I'm closing ClapClub.
This was a fun side-project, and my biggest one yet. I learned a ton and got the thrill of an app with daily signups and some charge.

But I'm closing it for 3 reasons:

  • LinkedIn got really annoying: They closed my account, sent me letters from their lawyers. Other social networks would soon do the same. I didn't do it to become an outcast...
  • I wasn't allowed to make money from it (using company APIs).
  • I liked the technical side of the project; but I did it out of opportunity rather than passion.

Thanks to you, 5000+ users. I'm also feeling a mix of proud and ashamed to know I'm responsible of 100k's of likes on social media :p. Let's make something less in a grey area, for which I'm really psyched to wake up every morning. And I feel like exportator.com my purchasing-power parity coupon solution is going to do it for me!

Buh-bye!
