Hey HN. Slowly over the past year, I've built Davine on the Google Cloud infrastructure to allow Vine content creators to see where and how their profile has grown over time. Davine is just a side project I whipped up to get experience with Google Cloud and using Go for a slightly larger project than I typically was. I've learned do's and don'ts for next time, so I'm already happy with it.
The current idea was to be 100% open-data, open source, ad-free, open ops, etc. to build a following who would get use from the service. Then, introduce data analysis offerings and offer to watch detailed posts as well for a small fee to turn some revenue.
Let me know what you think or if there's any potential at making this thing self-sustaining enough to just keep it alive and worthwhile.
Thanks!
