That’s not event close to ramen profitable unless you live in a very very low COL country.

The only cost is 20$ for a linux instance on Hetzner. How is that not profitable ? and I live in the most expensive country in the world. Switzerland

Your app is profitable but not "ramen profitable".

If a business is ramen profitable, it means it's making just enough money for the founders to pay for living expenses

Okay sorry my bad, I misused the expression (now I understand it better thanks)

Well if you take the name literally, it’s enuff to buy ramen for a month to eat a meal a day :)

"ramen profitable" is typically understood to mean that you could live off the profits... if you were willing to reduce your lifestyle to just working on it and eating nothing but ramen.

It will pay for the ramen!
