It’s been my experience that people are more likely to purchase add ons than have to pay to use basic features. You guys offer everything, with no strings attached. And while that may make your users happy and keep them loyal, it’s not a very sustainable business model. 

I assume that’s why y’all added the paid notes option. It’s not a feature you need to have, but if you would like to use it, it will cost a nominal fee and helps to support the project. I don’t know who your CFO is but he/she could teach these other teams a thing or two.

You’re not holding TestFlight builds hostage behind a paywall, like another purple Nostr client, and you’re not charging $50 for a $3 hat and trying to justify it by saying you have payroll.

To be fair, they’re isn’t the only project that holds their TestFlight builds hostage behind a paywall, Mona, the mastodon client, does the same thing.

 He actually went one step further, you can only gain access to the TestFlight builds if you bought the Mona pro max license. So, if you only bought the pro license for the mobile app because you don’t have a tablet and/or PC, then you don’t get access to TestFlight. I had to buy a license for shit I didn’t even use, and that kind of mentality REALLY pisses me off.

Devs like that remind me more of the assholes on xda who only wanted to make a name for themselves, not to genuinely make their users happy. Maybe now you can understand why your project is so special.  ☺️

Do y’all develop for Android as well? In the ten years that I was a part of that community, that was one attribute that always stood out, they code for the love of coding and to genuinely make their users happy. Most(not all) iOS devs seem to only have their wallet in mind when they code, which is what leads to behaviors like I pointed out to you and that’s what people don’t want to pay for.
