Would you feel right about charging them? I know this sounds hopelessly naive on HN, but not everything needs to be monetized, even if it can be. You have a right to make money, but you don't have a responsibility to charge them if you don't feel good about it.
Consider also how much responsibility you want to have to maintain and update this application for paying customers, and how much of your life you want to devote to supporting it.
Any answer is okay, I don't know your situation.
- nerdawson 4y agoWhy not? They’re charging him? People get into enormous amounts of debt for the privilege of being at university. The university has something of value (cynically a certificate). The poster pays to receive it. Now the poster has built something of value. If people are willing to pay for it, there’s no reason to give it away for free.
- KyeRussell 4y agoThat’s not how things work in reality. Paying for something changes peoples expectations, even subconsciously. OP is inarguably taking on more work and responsibility. A cost/benefit still needs to be undertaken. And if you spend a lot of time on HN getting excited about “startups” and whatever it can give you a warped idea of when you should try for monetisation.
