costs for running my fc projects so far this month, sharing cause couple people have asked (NOT ASKING FOR MONEY) -- again, NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, just sharing info!

Just to provide some sense of encouragement here—JC4P is a prolific shipper, running a Snapchain is very expensive, and he’s coding in a very forward thinking way using next generation near fully agentic workflows 

The counterpoint I have is that independent of the value of your time, you can vibe code a mini app and ship it for free, using free AI tiers on OAI/Claude/Gemini, Replit Free Plan for IDE+tunneling, free Neynar plan, Supabase free for db, and deploy on Vercel free plan

It’s not super scalable. If you go “viral” there might be issues. But it can be done and I’ve seen it done

you can also deploy websites (if they are static) to github pages or orbiter.host which is made by other farcaster users both have good free tiers

Pretty good option for any jetbrains users out there imo who want to vibe
