Monetizing compassion and kindness! Very enlightened work.

  That second part is probably sarcastic, but I agree with the potential moral hazards with this product. I hope it's evident that I've tried to design and monetize this in a way that isn't exploitative. Frankly, it's not a strong business position, but I'd rather lose money than introduce more harm into people lives. I'm pretty happy with the planned approach of a one-time purchase because it helps sustain the product without ads .

    Maybe in addition to a one-time purchase you could offer “sponsorship” subscriptions for app users who want to provide extra support.

  Mental health is a lot more than "compassion and kindness". See Headspace. Probably wouldn't be where it is today if it were totally free.
