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.
