Yes. But I am not a designer at all. I have looked at different sites over time and tried to incorporate what I liked there and made sense for wits.io

Thank you :) I always forget my passwords... I didnt want to use Facebook or Twitter login but still make it easy for the users to be able to login without remembering their passwords. Slack and some other sites use it which makes it super

Thanks for this. I am in fact from Pakistan but resident in Bahrain currently. And yes, I had to move out from Karachi due to security situation.

I thought about it a lot about putting a free tier... but the work that needed to be done (code) is not there yet... for sure will add the free tier section where you can read at least couple of books for FREE

Changing to 85/15 based on feedback. Is that fair?

Thanks. This is right. $5/month and $49 a year. I havent really figured out the details of profit sharing with authors yet... Which I will do once I have some people willing to contribute and after checking whats fair.

Naah.. Its real number :)

by zaheerbaloch 8y ago
Its just a start... I wasnt sure about the number hence started with 50%.... I can bump it to a bigger number... What makes sense? 70/30... or 80/20? or 90/10?
