- nottorp 2y agoI don't think that can work for a VC-backed company that is pressured to grow until absorbing the entire universe :)
- YetAnotherNick 2y agoWhat's genuinely premium feature? Donations just doesn't work. Even the open source projects used by all of fortune 500 is unable to raise one full time position funding. And tbh anything is better than ads in a site aimed for developers.
- Leynos 2y agoJust consider the free version a demo.
- chii 2y ago> include genuinely premium features for a fee? so, collapsing the sidebar is a genuine premium feature isnt it? It's not restricting the basic functionality, and you dont need to collapse it to have the site do what it needs. And for those who would donate, they get a psychological benefit of paying for a feature!
