Feel free to not answer this just curious as a developer. - native or wrapper eg. Electron/Tauri - what is your opinion of app adoption vs. web app - what tool did you use to design? figma/paper? I'm concerned about the name, fl out or flout (openly disregard?) didn't know that was a word huh. Pricing might need to be broken out more eg. $5 seems too cheap.

Happy to answer! native or wrapper eg. Electron/Tauri - Electron what is your opinion of app adoption vs. web app - Could you clarify? Are you asking about Floutwork app adoption versus Floutwork as a web app, or are you referring to apps vs. web apps in general? what tool did you use to design? figma/paper? - I used Figma

  About app vs. web, it would seem that web is easier/less barrier entry for people to use. Did you go with web [desktop] app for a particular reason like MacOS user's pay more or something for an app?

    Oh yes, the web is an easier route and has fewer barriers to adoption. I do struggle with adoption a bit since this is a desktop app, and many larger companies have strict policies about it. I would have definitely gone the web route if the solution I was aiming for could be accomplished using just a web app. However, some of the features I wanted to include in this "all-in-one" solution are best executed in a desktop app.

Just realized I didn't get to the last one Pricing might need to be broken out more eg. $5 seems too cheap. - Could you clarify this one as well? When you say the pricing needs to be 'broken out more,' do you mean offering additional pricing tiers or options?

  Yeah, it would seem like tiers makes sense regarding who is using it eg. a single user/hobbyist vs. manager. It is up to you how much you charge for it but $5/less than spotify for a productivity app that may be used by PMs/Managers, seems low. I am not a successful business owner though so take this opinion lightly.
