Hi Andi fam, hope you're doing well. 🙂
Things are really tough but nothing will stop us. Pain is a moat. Shipped next round of AI-first API features + smart auto search mode with dynamic pricing + published cli/mcp + full-content retrieval and news endpoints on API. AI agents are discovering the API and signing themselves up even before we launch/promote them.
