I have two: https://SherlockDNA.com runs a lot of reports for genetic genealogists. It's boring a boring Rails-based app with Stimulus and Hotwire. This is plopped on a cheap $20 node from Hetzner. I use Hatchbox.io for deployment and love it. For the two, $30/month. https://ranchoelcharro.com is a horse ranch in Mexico that rescued during COVID. The site itself lives on SquareSpace so non-technical people can edit. Behind the scenes I built out our own booking/reservation platform after being woefully dissatisfied with commercial options. It, too, is another boring Rails-based app with Stimulus and Hotwire (yes, even the widget that handles the booking is boring). Site lives on Heroku because I was too lazy to do anything else at the time, and it's fine there for now. It handles a half-dozen integrations with tour agencies, all back-office stuff, and more. It's about $50/month for everything to make it hum on Heroku which is great because I don't have to worry about it — my employees lives and their families lives depend on them getting reservations, so I want to make sure that it's as me-no-play-sysadmin as possible. SquareSpace, while annoying for a web developer like myself, is fine and runs us $33/month. All together, our tech spend is about $120/month — HelpScout for emails/tickets, emails sent with Postmark. |
