Even donations make it feel like a job. You start to feel like you're robbing the donators if you're not constantly improving the product.

- tluyben2 5y agoThis is absolutely true for me, but for me it is somewhat of a difference between improving the product (donations) or having to answer actual support emails (paid product). The former I do for fun, the latter I really need people for because it takes up all your time. And that is a company/job and not a side project.
- JohnFen 5y agoI agree. Donations or otherwise, the money comes with additional expectations -- from both yourself and your users -- that you may not want to take on.
- xdfgh1112 5y agoI don't feel that, it's a highly personal thing. Donations for me are unconditional and definitely not attached to any promise of future work.
