Hi all. I work in product at a software startup and I’ve been following the Tapas shutdown with great sadness. I’m exploring whether there’s room for a new webtoon platform that puts creators first, but I haven’t built anything and I’m not promoting anything. I’d rather hear from the people affected before anyone builds the wrong thing.

If you read on Tapas:

1. Which series are you worried about losing?
2. Roughly how much do you spend per month on webtoons? Coins, subscriptions, Patreon, anything.
3. Would you rather pay per episode, pay a flat monthly fee for everything, or read free with ads? And why?

If you publish on Tapas:

1. Where are you planning to move your series? And what’s holding you back from the alternatives you’ve looked at?
2. Roughly what did Tapas earn you per month, compared to Patreon or others? A rough range is fine. And has Tapas told you whether the rights to exclusive series come back to you?
3. What would a new platform need to do for you to move your series there, and what would be an instant dealbreaker?

I’ll post a summary of what I learn back here.
Thanks for reading!

We're a small Belgian company, I'm responsible for HR and want to hire an employee in Spain. This is a one-off - no plans to hire more people in Spain, so I don't need a platform we'll "grow into," just something that works cleanly for this one case.

We're currently comparing the 2 most famous EOR platforms (Deel & Remote). Pricing and process both look fine on paper, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm picking them mostly because they're the big, well-marketed names with smooth sales teams, not because they're actually the best fit for a single Spanish hire.

Before we sign anything, wondering if it's worth looking at:

• EU-based alternatives like WorkMotion
• A local Spanish EOR that specialises in this instead of a global platform

Has anyone actually compared these for Spain specifically?

Interested in real experience with onboarding speed and how much hand-holding you actually got vs. what was promised, and whether support held up once you were a customer and not a prospect.
Thanks.

Where do you find software engineers in Belgium? Already went through my network, came up empty.

We're bootstrapped , so a recruiter fee isn't really an option right now. Before I go down that road, where do you all actually find good sw eng (.NET) people in BE? Communities, Discord/Slack groups, job boards that aren't just LinkedIn noise, meetups, whatever's worked for you.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how to downgrade your Google Workspace? We want to downgrade from Business to Starter, but cannot find the downgrade button anywhere.
