I'm very happy with @lmsqueezy , however, the 15% fee is way too high, don't you think so? 🤔 Especially, when you are just starting and you sell $9.99 products. What about Paddle and others? Any better options? #buildinpublic

Well, @posthog is slowly clearing our tech stack. GA is OUT. If they add logs / crash reports (RN) then Sentry will be the next. If they add push notifications (RN) then Firebase will be the next. Let's see.
