FAQ

Why is screeenly.com sometimes down or otherwise not available?

screeenly is hosted on a relatively cheap server. Due to the fact that screeenly is a free service, a lot of people are using screeenly (which makes me very proud) and can sometimes lead to an increased load on our servers.

As screeenly is a free service and a side project of mine which doesn't generate any money for me, I can't upgrade the servers too much, as I would loose too much money.

If you want to support screeenly consider switching to a paid plan on our newest version, a Sponsorship on GitHub or buy me a coffee. All donations will help pay the server bills and allows me to invest more time into the service.

I have a problem. How can I reach you?

The best way is to send me an email at hello@stefanzweifel.io or @ me at @_stefanzweifel or @screeenly on Twitter.

Due to the fact that this is just a side project I can't guarantee an answer in the next 5 minutes (I usually answer in the next 24 hours)
