They recently implemented a pretty restrictive freemium subscription model that has tempered my enthusiasm for it massively. 50 snips a month is nothing for grad students.
- Silhouette 7y agoIf grad students in relevant fields aren't one of the main target markets for this kind of product, where do you think they're going to make their money?
- nicodjimenez 7y agoDo you think 100 free Snips per month would be better? We're thinking about how to do a student plan.
- danmg 7y agoGrad students will just just maple/mathematica to directly generate latex from an expression.
- jefft255 7y agoWhich grad students? In CS the use of these is long gone (at least in the two departments I’ve been in). I wonder how prevalent they still are in physics. But I’m pretty damn sure that physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists all just type their equations straight into latex unless it’s a super complicated computer generated formula, which you don’t typically write in papers..
- ttul 7y agoHow are they supposed to pay themselves in that case? It’s an incredible service.
- scarmig 7y ago4.99/month for unlimited snips isn't exactly onerous. Grad students are known to be able to afford Netflix and Spotify.
