Twitter just announced that there will no longer be free access to the twitter API. (https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1621026986784337922)

Hi! I'm Dhravya - a 17 year old maker. I have a small twitter tool - https://twitter.com/poet_this, which includes the website https://tweets.beauty and the API https://api.tweets.beauty

I got some donations at the start which helped me pay for the hosting costs, but that's been it.

And the main problems start here.
I'm a student and indie developer, and I have crucial examinations coming up in just 20 days. I wanted to monetise the bot after exams to create a revenue stream for myself, but the timing is very, very bad.

So, what do I do?

• Loss for a couple of months and monetise later
• Sell the project + twitter acc and start with a new side project right after the exams
• Ask for donations and keep the project free for as long as I can
• Start selling the entire codebase to multiple people (on license basis? not sure.)

If I choose to sell the project, where do I sell a side project? How do I get buyers?

Here's why I kept my project free:

• Proof of work.
• I wanted the maximum number of users so that I could have a boost for later projects
• It wasn't expensive to host or difficult to make, and I don't think I could provide enough value.

What do you think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
