When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

Had our first phishing website uploaded to Orbiter today. Google immediately flagged the entire domain. We removed the site and requested a review. But if your .orbiter.website is throwing a warning right now, that's why.

You know the memecoin bubble is about to burst when I’m getting Twitter DMs asking to collaborate on a “memecoin project” at the same rate I did for NFT projects at the height of that boom.

The timing part of a couple of these stories is brutal. Dude had two billion dollar business ideas at least but the timing and execution were off. That’s why ideas don’t matter nearly as much. http://blog.rongarret.info/2025/01/i-am-not-failure-lessons-learned-from.html

For people that like to pay for services in crypto, do you prefer paying for a year (or more) in advance? Or do you prefer more standard month to month? (This is assuming it’s an ongoing service, not a one-time purchase)

This is pretty interesting. I don’t have autocorrect turned on in my git config, but I definitely would have got the setting wrong if I did. https://blog.gitbutler.com/why-is-git-autocorrect-too-fast-for-formula-one-drivers/

Remember when TikTok was banned? Yeah, neither do I because I’m old and have never used it in my life. If we ever use TikTok for marketing of Orbiter.host, that’s going to 100% be @stevedylandev.eth’s department 😂

Some of this I get and agree with. But then on the flip side, subscriptions are not necessarily extractive. https://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/3292/the-pc-is-dead-its-time-to-make-computing-personal-again https://polluterofminds.com/blog/the-web-was-built-for-subscriptions

One of the things I'm most proud of with Orbiter is our ability to put useful content out (no AI generation). We launched on 1/1/25, and we haven't gone more than 3 days without posting a new blog post. This will pay off in the long run. https://orbiter.host/blog

Yo! I just checked in on the Monday app I built last year that I have on autopilot and it’s sitting at $13mrr 😂 Been so focused on Orbiter.host that I forgot about that one.
