   dalke, I said "some parts of my business" because I run several different business of various types. Since the book focuses on value pricing for consulting projects it's obviously not applicable to the SaaS that I run. Howeve

   I highly recommend this book. The author, Jonathan Stark, really knows his stuff when it comes to pricing. His advice on value based pricing has changed the way I approach some parts of my business.

   Does anyone know if Foundation addresses the issue of how to handle the migration of existing users from the pre-foundation version of the interface to the post?

   I'd be interested to hear what you move to, what the set up looks like there, and what you pay for it.

   Sure, no money has to change hands, BUT if you decided to take the hours that you would spend moving projects away from Heroku, and instead do something productive that creates value for a client you could be spending the same amount of eff

   Lemme guess, you're a developer/sysadmin/techie type? :) This is a tool for people who don't want to be anywhere near a command line.

    Hmm... I hadn't considered that view before, but I can see where you're coming from. The intention (for me) definitely isn't to extract extra money. Rather I'm hoping to provide something that provides enough value that

    Thanks for the recommendation! Nope, edits do not count towards the total. You can make as many revisions as you want to a given document. At this point there's nothing to stop someone from doing exactly what you describe. I'm mai

    I think it depends on what sort of rate you're able to charge as a consultant/freelancer. If you're anywhere near $100/hour (or more) you could very easily waste more time/money by trying to do it yourself.

    Ah, crap! Thanks for pointing out the broken link. Here's the input document for the demo. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jagthedrummer/213b8a787b3... Under the hood is Pandoc/LaTeX. Pandoc flavored Markd

    If you're comfortable managing that kind of tool chain, then yeah, that's a good comparison. Many people would prefer to focus on creating the content of the document rather than installing and configuring software.

    One of the main reasons this is a SaaS is that all of software that is part of the processing pipeline required to produce documents of this quality can be very hard to install and configure properly. This is aimed at people who would rathe

    Ah, yeah, I need a better message about images. They work fine if they're at a fully qualified URL. The final output is indeed tweakable and there are 4 totally different templates to choose from. I always encourage people to go with w

    There are plenty of people who like Markdown who don't want to manage a document production tool chain. This is aimed at those people. Folks who like a DIY approach should definitely take that route if it works for them.

    Here's a page where you can see most of the templates available. http://www.remarq.io/articles/new-templates-now-available/ I should probably make a gallery page and link it somewhere prominently.

    Thanks! The per document pricing is an interesting angle. I'll definitely give it some thought.

    Thanks! I think this is a good suggestion. I should definitely feature a real document more prominently somehow.

    Think about the price in comparison to hiring a design consultant to generate these reports for you. If they charge you or your agency $50/hour, it takes them an hour to design a report, and you're producing 10 documents/mont

    This is aimed at being exactly the opposite of DIY. If you're into DIY and it works for you, that's great! You should do what works for you. Many people don't want to spend time with a DIY approach and would rather go for a &

    I don't have Word export on the immediate road map, but I'm not ruling it out. Sorry I can't give you anything more specific than that.

    Thanks for being an early tester, and for the kind words, Kai. I'm excited to see how Remarq can help more people.

    Definitely needs a name change. This was an incredibly poor choice and makes me question whether I could ever feel comfortable using the software of an entire organization that is capable of making such a poor choice. Especially since they
