$9 Million as Annual Recurring Revenue

Shrey Vijayvargiya

Hello and welcome

Yes, you heard right $9 million as annual recurring revenue. Recently, I got the news about Kuse.ai. Kuse has touched almost 1Million USD as ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). But more importantly, check the website as it helps to analyse YouTube videos, write detailed blogs, draw illustrations and connections on canva along with an AI LLM chatbot to ease the pain of understanding context and creating connections. It's not a sponsored post but certainly an inspiration for developers to bring such kind of tools on their own.

Last week, I shared some interesting web scraping API project detailed blog, along with one alternative that is backed by top investor firm Ycombinator, named Firecrawl is working on their own Perplexity using a custom search and scrap API, along with Google Gemini or Groq as the LLM model they are calling it Fireplexity. Check the Github repo.

Grokipedia, the new Wikipedia alternative by the Elon Musk xAI team, have launched with 900K articles and crashed within 12 hours.

TOON - Token Object-oriented notion is the new way to transform JSON into tables to feed it into LLM with fewer input tokens. In layman's language, it reduces the token size of JSON to reduce the LLM API cost for developers. This package is much needed in the AI development spectrum.

Shortest one-page E-commerce website template, last week I wanted to try something quick in the 2025 AI era in the E-commerce section for gettemplate.website, so we ended up making the shortest one-page E-commerce website that covers everything an e-commerce platform needs and is comprised within one page using overlays like Modals, Drawers and Sidebars making the website responsive, fast and quickest way to launch e-commerce brand.

Vercel is more about Backend frameworks now by supporting backend frameworks like Bun and Hono, and the Vercel founder recently shared a long list of what's new on Vercel by Rauch.

Tanstack Start is the new framework in 2025 that is ready to give strong competition to Next.js as another server-side framework, and people are actually loving it a lot, as per my research.

Free Open Source Public APIs github repository with 375k github stars, making it the most trusted github repository for free APIs.
