I use whatever tools are available to me and help liberate those around me. My use of Claude has already helped small businesses keep more of their income from their labour, instead of giving a cut to rentier capitalist platforms like Eventbrite. I’m releasing all my code under copyleft AGPL with no enterprise license. I’m giving 50% discounts to artists, cooperatives, charities and vegan businesses. I give 10% of my profit to charity.

If you want to tell me I’m not sufficiently anarchist because you don’t like my choice of tools - whatever, dude, you keep gatekeeping, I’m sure it’ll get you far

Yep - it has already processed a few dozen bookings for two events I ran, and I’ve got about 10 paying customers who have put a few hundred real bookings through too (and done refunds etc)

You could self-host it easy peasy via Docker, and it’ll work with local databases and files

It just won’t have the cool scaling stuff that you get from hosting on the edge - and it’d be a bit fiddlier to update
