omg.. My parents have this vacation home that they rent out at sea and I made the website where people can book etc

Few days ago I moved their site to a new sever since PHP and now they need a new solution for email

They flat out refuse to pay a cent for email.. so I pointed them to Gmail :neofox_facepalm:

They ask 800 euros per week for that vacation home but a few euros per month for mail is too much haha

My parents are boomers who think everything is free on the internet and I hate it

Currently I’m rebuilding their whole site from WordPress into a dedicated Laravel app for their needs

Since I lose money on hosting their sites I’m not gonna spend a lot of time updating them since they think that’s also free.. so every XX years they need something new

Back in the days I’ve spend a lot of time of free on their stuff but not anymore

I so much rather spend it on you all♥️

@stux building a custom laravel app does sound like a significant amount of work tbh 😬

@freezombie Initially yes but a lot better in the long run!

Wordpress is nice and all but a lot of work to keep it clean

It’s way too bloated by default
