Thanks! We're building a hosting service that you can deploy your apps to. Our plan is to have a free tier for your first app, then charge for additional apps. We're still finalizing this, so would love to hear any thoughts.

Interesting — what kind of advantages would your hosting service provide over, say, packaging the Pynecone app into a Docker container and then deploying to Fly.io/Render/GCP/Azure/etc?
It would be cool if you could create a payment component that just takes money off the top. Than anyone could build practically an unlimited amount of saas apps not worry about hosting and if they get paid you get paid.

One reason I looked at Dreamhost for hosting is they have an unlimited # of websites tier that is super cheap(sucks because it's php). If you can't build a payment component then some kind of pay as you go option would be cool.

Second this. Would love a payment component that is very low config (e.g. set Stripe creds) where some portion is taken off the top.
It would be nice if there was a consideration for the app being opensource for the free tier, and also integration with Github --- it would be way cool to be able to specify that a Python file on Github could be used as the source for a free app on your site.
