Guess you weren’t one of the lucky people who bought and paid for Transmit on iOS… https://panic.com/blog/the-future-of-transmit-ios/ https://panic.com/blog/th

  Reading that actually increases my confidence and trust in Panic. It's not an "Our Incredible Journey" blog post light on details but an actual reasoning from a business perspective. Including them sharing the actual tiny revenue they made with the product. As a non VC funded business they have to stay sustainable and healthy and I'm supporting that. They even offered a refund and published an update so it can run on as many devices as possible for as long as possible. Apart from all of that, it's an app that was sold for 9.99 Dollar so if you got a few years of usage out of that it seems fair in any case.

  I second the other commenter: this is very good form to copy — they explain the economics and getting partially superseded by new iOS features, offered a refund to recent purchasers, and gave clear expectations for the future. That’s way better than the Google-style neglect until the servers disappear or, worse, selling it to someone who’ll lard it up with ads and spyware. For such a cheap purchase, that’s better than I’ve had with certain expensive enterprise software vendors who shall remain nameless.
