One of the best and most concise plugin pages I've seen. It's very considerate having a "how does it work" as one of the first things explained on the page. Kudos for that!

You're reading too much into benchmarks without understanding what the alternatives are. Sure there are faster ways of rendering a template; just use format strings! Wow — super fast! It's a nonsensical way of reasoning about fram

Using some sort of service (i.e. Mailchimp or any of the other numerous email sending services) surely takes care of this, no?

I barely use Steam as a social platform, and still I have a thousand times better experience when it comes to discoverability. I understand what you're saying — people spend more time using Steam than they do the app stores (and they

I'd suggest that almost none of the users would be aware of this anyway, so their usage patterns wouldn't in any way shift.

Such bullshit. How on earth is it a "zero sum game" that they are paid their fair share of the cut? > There is little difference between 99% of the artists getting peanuts, and 100% of the artists getting peanuts. You just pull

70$ is not much money if you use it 8 hours a day. Also, you can use it without paying — it'll show a popup window now and again telling you to buy it; just a minor annoyance.

That's interesting; and way too much for such a rudimentary app -- which probably shouldn't even be a native mac app in the first place. I wonder how he came up with that price.

Quite depressing how they don't seem to be able to reach their goal. I would donate in a heart beat, but I'm not a US citizen. Unclear why you (US citizens) aren't all over this stuff.
