When people ask me why I like being the founder of a company, I often reply with a small story: when we built our first saas for SMB, we billed .50€ per API call and we plugged those calls to a Slack bot. Man how great it felt in the firsts weeks when this bot would send a message around 20 times a day: the sound of finally having built something valuable that would generate value even if I'd be out of my computer, running or anything else really.

Long live scrappingbee!

Co-founder here, thanks for the kind words.

I totally agree, the $1 dollar you make online is really special.

I know that, as a computer engineer, it really made us shift our whole mindset about what we do.

We thought all we were able to do was to write code for someone else, we discovered that we could also sell a product and make a living out of it.

Very cool. What's your backend stack written in if you're able to share?
