This newsletter was brought to you bySetappAmazon, reddit, and YouTube 10 years ago 👀
So much has changed since August 1st, 2007. Thousands were lining up to buy the first iPhone, George W. Bush was in the White House, YouTube's front page was promoting Superbad, Amazon was selling books, and IMDb was hiring their first designer.
Meanwhile, sites like Hacker News and reddit[1] haven't changed much.
See what was happening on the internet 10 years ago today.
[1] Get ready to see some big changes at reddit. Yesterday Recode reported that the internet's homepage will use its new $200M in funding to go on a hiring spree and redesign the website.
Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI
You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
