This is a big one – the tl;dr is that I’m changing some things up so your forum login will be different (you might have to reset your password via email). Nobody should notice any other changes… details below!
Context:
- I took a 65% pay cut this year.
- Nobody has ever made a pull-request on the open-source app or formulas.
- I still love building this product.
What I’m doing:
- Leaving the formulas open-source (that’s the important part anyways).
- Close-sourcing the mobile app (nobody looked at the source code anyways).
- I’m making the app paid (not a subscription, just a 1-time paid download)
- I’m significantly changing (simplifying) the web-app & taking it offline in the meantime.
- I’m deleting the few user accounts that currently exist (if you want your data, dm me… but it’s been years and there are like 10 of you).
- I’m continuing to build online sync
What this means for you:
- You’ll have to re-verify your email address to keep using the forum.
- Your existing downloaded apps will keep functioning as normal (you won’t have to pay if you’ve already downloaded the app).
I love building this product, and this feels a bit like selling out – but money is tighter now, so I have to be more disciplined & less idealistic.
