<div>Dear Internet people,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is René and I’m the person behind <a href="https://blank.page/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blank.page</a>. <strong>Today I need your help to keep this beautiful website free.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Free of advertising. Free of paywalls. Free of sign-ups and forgotten passwords. Free of downloads behind walled AppStores. Free of investor's growth ambitions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Internet deserves a free page to write about what matters in our lives. Thousands of people around the world use <a href="https://blank.page/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blank.page</a> every day to write their thoughts, homework, emails, love letters, blog posts, to-do lists, and everything in between.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But running this site is expensive and getting increasingly so with new visitors every day.<strong> </strong>Last month alone, <strong>we served more than 2.5 million pageviews</strong>. That’s a lot of bandwidth costs to cover!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join me to create a better Internet, one that is built and supported by its users. I'll be incredibly grateful for your donation, no matter how small it may be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Truly yours,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>René Galindo
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Fun stats</strong>
</div>
<div>Usage from the last 30 days (December 2022):
</div>
<ul>
<li>Unique visitors: 750,000 / month
</li>
<li>Pageviews: 2.5 million / month
</li>
<li>Visit duration: 2m 27s
</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>Cost breakdown</strong>
</div>
<div>Yearly. Prices in USD.
</div>
<ul>
<li>Domain renewal: $1,000 (yes, every year!)
</li>
<li>Hosting by <a href="https://netlify.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netlify</a>: $1,250
</li>
<li>Privacy-friendly analytics by <a href="https://plausible.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Plausible</a>: $1,250
</li>
<li>Total: $3,500
</li>
</ul>
<div>And that’s just to keep the lights on! For the past four years, I’ve covered these costs with my savings, but I can't support it by myself anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>New features</strong>
</div>
<div>Once the expenses are covered, I'll use the new funds to develop various improvements:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Offline mode: Load the page once, and write offline anytime.
</li>
<li>Internationalization: Support for more language characters and translations.
</li>
<li>Tablet and mobile version: Optimize page for writing in smaller screens.
</li>
</ul>
<div>And last, but not least: continue refining the little design details!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>

</li>
