After having used services, such as lnvpn.net, sms4sats.com, or nostr.wine, I was amazed by the convenience these services bring.
A premium Nostr relays could of course be paid via a regular subscription. However, being able to receive a single SMS or access a VPN for a mere hour feels amazing to me.
What services would feel amazing to use via a Pay-Per-Use model?
1000 sats to the best answer!

Our fire bureau, like many, seems to still be in the tech dark ages. So I’m working on a personal project that is essentially a web scraper that will alert my phone when we get calls. Includes a link to google maps so I can route myself in. Easy mode. And it’s a chat bot so anyone in the bureau can subscribe and use it.
I’ve learned a whooooole lot doing it! This whole personal project thing seems like the best way to teach yourself new things. If I need to learn something now I use ChatGPT to get started then find a way to build a little project instead of tutorials and stack overflow.
