Hacker Read

You're missing Dropbox, Coinbase, Gusto, Instacart, Stripe, Twitch, Cruise, and quite a few others that are a little more arguable, like Docker, DoorDash, or even Zenefits.

You read too fast: Digital Ocean, Mailgun and CloudFlare are mentioned (you just need to click on the tabs to make them appear).

But I agree that App Engine and Gandi could have their place in this list.

- ProtonMail

- Obsidian Sync

- ChatGPT Plus

- DigitalOcean VPS

- Namecheap (yearly)

- Bitwarden (yearly)

I used to pay for Readwise, Raindrop, and Todoist, but I haven't found them useful enough to continue paying for them.

AirBnB, Dropbox, Stripe, Twitch, Zenefits, Instacart, Docker, Machine Zone. Not sure about the last one. Quora? Mixpanel?

Edit: oops, that's 8 without Quora & Mixpanel. Machine Zone was surprising. Hadn't even heard of it.

In the SV tech community, Dropbox, Uber, Snapchat, Spotify, AirBnB, Lyft, Netflix, Pinterest, Robinhood to name several.

Outside the tech community, probably Amazon, Microsoft, and Instagram (most people don't know Facebook owns Instagram).
