Nice work! I really like how the website looks - so uncluttered and minimalist.

I second this, we use Paddle on https://gimmeproxy.com . It's really nice they handle VAT automatically on your behalf (EU VAT law for online is complicated) and setup was pretty easy.

256cats | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017?
Still working on https://gimmeproxy.com and https://www.npmjs.com/package/check-proxy
Besides that launched https://ip-api.io
256cats | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are best tools for web scraping?
I use Node and either puppeteer[0] or plain Curl[1]. IMO Curl is years ahead of any Node.js request lib. For proxies I use (shameless plug!) https://gimmeproxy.com .

Now I'm looking for 13" laptop with 32gb ram. Do they exist at all?

I run https://gimmeproxy.com/
It's rotating proxy api. I built it from scratch to learn something new and was surprised when people started using it.
So far it gets me some beer money. All the traffic is organic.
