@unkey.com
- 150,000 requests that allow access to your application If you get attacked and we rate limit them, none of that is counted towards your usage stats. Enjoy š«”

Iāve never been more excited to travel home. 14 days in a hotel room, just grinding VC meetings, founder meetings etc is great. But not having home comforts, my partner or just normality is rough on the mental health.
