I made a new thing!
In-app ads are weird, ugly, and might pay you a few pennies, but you won't feel good about it. So I tried to fix that.
If you have an app and you want to make a little money (and also give your free users another small incentive to subscribe), check it out!
If you have an app/site and you want to show it to thousands from high-quality indie apps, check it out!
(And, interestingly, if you fit in both buckets, you can both advertise _and_ publish.)

It's better to be a pirate than join the navy.
