Why is this a yearly cost? I don’t understand.
There’s already open source utilities [0] for users who aren’t proficient in Unix commands.
If anything this should be the definition of a one time fee.
You’re free to charge whatever you like, but it seems odd that anyone would pay you year after year to use your app.
It’s not the price, as $40 isn’t that much, but the value and principle of the thing.

- tanin 4y agoThe target users are non-technical users. Think accountants. They are technical and not be able to use command line tools. Other than that, I appreciate the feedback.
- ingenika 4y agoThe target users don't have that amount of data believe me I worked as an accountant
- tanin 4y agoIt's true that most accountants won't be able to reach that kind of scale, though the modern saas businesses might be able to reach that point.
- hackarama 4y agoI work as a dev _for_ the accountants. We have that amount of data.
- ergocoder 4y agoYou don't understand. They said "believe me". It must mean 100% of the accountants will never ever encounter 1M rows.
