Where have you experienced data lockin? That sounds like poor SaaS strategies from the 2000s.
- zer8k 3y agoFusion 360 is one example off the top of my head.
- r00fus 3y agoI think I would agree for large traditional software companies like Autodesk or Adobe that charged large sums for software versions you typically don't update yearly (Creative Cloud), that a flat subscription model seems to be a bad fit. Probably less so for software you use daily or make your living off of.
- zer8k 3y agoI use a text editor daily. I see no revolutionary methods being added to text editing that could ever justify me paying monthly. Even something as simple as a calorie counter has a monthly charge for features that never change (MyFitnessPal).
- skydhash 3y agoI pay for Bear.app. It amounts to something like $14 dollars a year. But it's a beautifully crafted app and while it uses a database instead of files, it has good export capabilities. I consider that a donation at this point.
