I admit that I'm relieved that this open letter was not another public bashing. I love stories like this and, most importantly, I really love balsamiq. I didn't know anything about its creator/founder, but I'm glad he's as upstanding as the product he produces.
- prpon 15y agoPeldi has been a long time HN user(balsamiq). Most at HN (including me) have nothing but great things to say about him and his company.
- myoder 15y agoHe sure is! Thank you for taking the time to read the story!
- dshah 15y agoPeldi is a class act. What's admirable here is not that he provided a free $79 license (that's relatively easy). What's admirable is that he responded personally, and irrationally selflessly. Knowing Peldi, I know exactly why he does such things. In every software entrepreneur, he sees a peer and the potential for someone to build something great.
- myoder 15y ago:) He has a long-term vision, which is a trait that you don't see a ton of in a quarter-by-quarter society. I think that's changing, though.
