   unfortunately the best current option

   basically all items on throne's shop are price gouged and/or low quality. the site has significant login issues and link previews do not appear as intended. cashout is very slow at first, then usually changes to 3-5 days after you complain enough to customer service. if you need your money on time and on the date originally promised, throne is not your friend. it seems that they exist to circumvent a lot of issues with other payment methods especially for freelancers, but it does not make sense how long they tend to hold the money for, and they are definitely doing this to maintain higher levels of cash liquidity at the expense of the customer and vendor. this doesnt even happen with just one company, it happens twice. once we go through stripe, and possibly again from our bank. it seems that if we are looking for a service that provides an online wallet, it should function as a wallet and not have so many delays due to passing through so many hands. if there is any issue with a payment, im forced to log into both stripe and throne to figure out which site is causing the problem, and potentially wait on hold for both companies in order for them to simply identify an obvious problem and do the one thing they are supposed to do : send the payment.

   🏁 Competitors: WishTender

   👎 Cons:    High fees for buyers|Slow cashout|Money passes through multiple companies|Login problems|Links dont display correctly|Posts on your social media without asking|Long, complicated setup for no reason

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

  Data extraction: https://simplescraper.io A project that I launched on HN that became a business. Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Scraperr – A Self Hosted Webscraper

  1. Clicking the box programmatically – possible but inconsistent 2. Outsourcing the task to one of the many CAPTCHA-solving services (2Captcha etc) – better 3. Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles – best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach. It has become more difficult, and I think a lot of the AI crawlers are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024)

  Making my data extraction Saas (https://simplescraper.io) more LLM friendly. Markdown extraction, improved Google search, workflows - search for this terms, visit the first N links, summarize etc. Big demand for (or rather, expectation of) this lately. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Architecture Behind a One-Person Tech Startup

  Things are much easier for one-person startups these days—it's a gift. I remember building a todo app as my first SaaS project, and choosing something called Stormpath for authentication. It subsequently shut down, forcing me to do a last-minute migration from a hostel in Japan using Nitrous Cloud IDE (which also shut down). Just pain upon pain.[1] Now, you can just pick a full-stack cloud service and run with it.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
