Bootstrapping a privacy-protection service to $3000 MRR

Interview with SimpleLogin's founder

👋 Hey Failories! It's Nico over here.

This week I published an interesting interview with the founder of a privacy-friendly service, which are on the rise lately. He is bootstrapping it and is currently making $3k/mo.

Below that, there's a review article of Penji, an unlimited design service (about which I've written this article in the past). If you're looking for an affordable way of outsourcing design tasks, make sure to give it a read.
