    Congrats Joe! In some ways this is more important than later MRR milestones as it allows you to keep things running. Now try to get profitable including the costs of your time. I love the dashboard from @czue

    Have you tried Hatchbox to lower costs compared to Heroku? It's something I want to try in the future, but I have no experience with it.

      Thanks for the shout out! Three and a half years in and I'm still well under 50% of my freelancing rate. But you can't beat the trendlines and the fun. :)

      Thank you! Oddly enough, I'm at that weird state where Hatchbox would actually cost me more money than Heroku. Once I add a third/fourth server I think Hatchbox will end up being cheaper.
