I love this tool, but I am pessimistic because the following is probably going to happen next:
1. At some point, the app will be covered with tonloads of ads to the point of impossibility to use
2. The core functionality will be hid behind sign-up/sign-in walls. The email addresses will be collected and then spammed to the brim
3. To add an insult to the injury, the app features will be gradually crippled unless you switch to a "Pro" plan. But you will not be able to do that efficiently as a user because you will be constantly attacked, bombarded and poisoned by ad banners and popups everywhere
4. Then, the app will start to upsell other offerings (of course, with modal banners!)
Those are cynical observations but they are 99% precise. I wish you good luck if you are among 1% elite.
- jitbit 1y agoThis is the author's 3rd or 4th attempt to launch a product in this niche, Interactivedemo.ai (ProductHunt launch), demo.fun (link in their profile), a chrome extension with the same name (never took off), etc. I got this all from their Twitter profile I'm a bootstrapped software developer myself, so I can't decide if I should admire this or flag this as spam. But you're probably right, we're getting a "pricing" page very soon.
- johnwheeler 1y agoI do want to charge but if you have valid use cases and will function as a beta-tester I would work out free service technically forever. I am open to discussions about this. I'm still experimenting and nothing is set in stone, but I actually quit my job a while ago, and this is what I want to do full time. I have a bit of runway.
