A few thoughts:

1. I've never heard of your app, and I follow this space closely. It's extremely competitive.

2. I clicked to check how much you're asking for premium. It's reasonable on an annual basis, but I only saw an option for a monthly subscription. That's not happening.

3. I'd be more likely to give you a donation than to pay for a premium version for an app like this. That model has worked well for Obsidian. I don't think getting early access to features is worth much, but a lot of people have paid them to support their work.

4. My observation is that a closed core product with a large open source ecosystem around it gives folks a reason to pay.



Hi! Thanks for your comment.

> but I only saw an option for a monthly subscription.

What do you mean? The annual subscription doesn't work? Or something else?

> I'd be more likely to give you a donation than to pay for a premium version for an app like this.

Well, for my Notes app, I can understand. Hopefully you will find my new app as a breath of fresh air in this space. Sign up to get an update please! I would love to hear what you think when the app is out.

Overall, I think people will pay if an app gives them enough value.
