It's priced in a way that allows me to work on this full time. If Lemmy suddenly had 10X users I could bring the pricing down.
I find the pricing totally fair. You're doing a great job.
Keep in mind lots of the complaints of 'too expensive' come from one of two groups - either people from low income countries, or young people.
If you asked me to pay 15 bucks a year for sync when I was 16? Hell no, I'm not paying that much money for it!
Now, at 27, it's what I earn in like 20 minutes at my job. I think those 20 minutes A year are more than worth what this app offers.
Bruh, if you're earning $15-$20 every 20 minutes, you're earning almost $94-$125k/year assuming 8 hours, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. That's a lot more than most and has nothing to do with being young or in a low income country.
Not exactly fair to frame it like that. Fwiw I'm a long time sync for Reddit user who had the pro version.
Yup, that's my yearly salary range. That's normal in Switzerland for an electrical engineer with a masters degree.
Even if it's an hour or two of your salary, do you not think that sync is worth that much to you a year? It takes LJ a lot of time to develop.
Oh, and keep in mind this is with what, 1700 hours of work or something a year. I have vacation, public holidays and so on.
Get ready for early adopters to be upset at you when you lower the price. There's probably no winning with pricing.
Almost like everything in the world works this way.
Games, software, hardware, etc.
