I know it to be Qt

hermitcrab 2y ago
Yes, Qt and C++.
- rubymamis 2y ago
  Fellow indie Qt developer here, curious to learn more about your apps.

    The apps I sell are: https://www.easydatatransform.com https://www.easydatatransform.com https://www.hyperplan.com https://www.hyperplan.com https://www.perfecttableplan.com https://www.perfecttableplan.com Note that while there still is a market for desktop software, it is shrinking. Many Indie developers now sell web-based products (SaaS).

      That's awesome. Glad to see successful Qt desktop apps in the wild. I'm working on: https://get-notes.com https://get-notes.com And yes, that's true. But Qt can differentiate among the web apps that try to integrate into the OS (aka Electron apps).

      >https://get-notes.com https://get-notes.com Looks cools. Note taking/outliners/productivity is a super competitive market, but I guess you know that already. I'm a bit confused by the pricing. How is a personal license potentially more expensive than a commercial license?

        > How is a personal license potentially more expensive than a commercial license? What do you mean? The personal license is billed at $4 a month paid monthly or $24 paid yearly. The commercial license is $24 per year, per user.

        If you pay for the personal licence monthly, it is more expensive than commercial ($48 per year vs $24 per year). If you pay yearly they are the same price and the features are identical. I was confused.
        rubymamis 2y ago
        Yes, it's to incentivize buying the yearly plan. I'm thinking of getting rid of the Commercial license, tho, not much traction there.

        The more complicated and confusing the buying page, the more people are going to hit the back button. I put "Buying licenses for more than one user? Contact us". Then I can find out a bit more, send them a quote, negotiate discounts etc.

        That's very helpful, thanks! Is there anywhere I can keep in touch with you? Discord? X? Email? I got some of my social links in my profile.
