Currently no plans for a subscription, you can tip gk though through buy me a coffee. Maybe at most we would have to start charging a very cheap subscription for push notifications. Other than that no plans to lock any kinds of features behind a paywall
First, thanks for your work on this app. It’s great. Obviously it’s none of our business if you choose not to monetize this app in some way. Long term though, wouldn’t it make sense to charge at least a small amount to cover your development and have money to, you know, live? People will line up to pay for a good, well developed app - just like they did with Apollo.
That’s fair, i do have a full time job as well that pays the bills, just doing this in my free time. We may explore the option in the future, who knows, but at the moment we don’t plan to.
I more meant as a way to support continued development similar to how Apollo worked. Even if "premium" users got no benefit, I'd still like to have the option of supporting continued development straight through the app store. I've tipped through the coffee site already, but that requires me to remember to do it more than once. 😂
That sounds more than reasonable to me, and it’s gonna be a huge deal for wider Lemmy adoption. Thank you so much, all of you!
