The parent cites "hassle of creating the database" and does not mention sharing or collaborating. I showed that it doesn't get more hassle-free than this and doesn't even require connectivity (which might be a problem "on some devices" or "in some locations").
It was just one item in a list and they used "etc." which prob refers to all the other obvious upsides, like why you would use pgadmin/postico to write postgres queries instead of psql cli.
So to double down on that one detail as if it were a load bearing remark comes off as trying to win a point.
If `sqlite3 test.db` launched a rich UI with tabs and such, then maybe they'd be onto something, but it does not.
If the database is loaded from an external source (as shown in the examples), using the "Share Script" feature automatically attaches a link to the database. The link allows both the database and the script to be accessed and loaded.
hey, not to give you "armchair" advice, but I feel like a tool that's existed for 11 years and has 11k daily users is a super serious achievement.
I'd vicariously love for you to be able to make some/more revenue with this!
+1 on @redox99's comment that charging in rubles is most probably confusing, and that a flat $10 usd/month would be easier. I also would think that renewal should actually be on by default, not off - if people want the service and/or to support you, having auto renewal off is more of a hassle for them (the customers who want to pay you!) as they'd have to have to... re-enable their service? every 30-90 days?
and another point I wanted to bring up is that it feels to me like a small text-based advertisement from ethicalads.io (the folks behind the ads on Read the Docs sites) or carbonads.net (btw I have no affiliation to either) could definitely... bring in some not-bad revenue pretty much immediately?
again, huge congrats on your project and I truly wish you'll be able to find some path to monetization. cheers!
Thank you. I have been considering various monetization approaches, evaluating their convenience and potential demand.
Unfortunately, certain external factors currently prevent me from implementing everything as I would like.
However, I still have several ideas that I hope will be engaging, in demand, and easy to pay for.
for sure, my point was that usd would already be "better" (more common) than rubles - but yes, 'localized' currencies would be great too (although setting up "adaptive pricing" is a task in itself). baby steps :-)
My point was more about the original comment is fine from the perspective of an American, but for the rest of the world, it doesn’t really matter if it is USD or rubles - it’s still a foreign transaction. I appreciate that for a large percentage of the world, consumers can probably do an approximation of the USD conversion in their head, and not a rubles one, and therefore, USD may be more friendly. That being said, the sales page has already got the approximation in USD anyway, which would be enough for me.
I'd imagine most English-speaking internet users have gotten used to doing local-to-USD conversions. As someone in the US, I usually know about where CAD, AUD, and GBP are relative to me.
Even if you don't know the conversion, something in the range of 50-200% is a lot easier to adjust to, whereas Rubles are on a very different scale (1 GBP = 108 Rubles)
Obviously the ideal would be local listings, but USD is probably the most-familiar reference point if you have to choose exactly one
I have to agree.. given the amount of international business transacted in USD it's a pretty well known currency secondary in most of the world followed by EU then Chinese Yuan and GBP. That said, being in the US can't say how widespread rough translation values of Yuan are to most people outside the Asian/Pacific region.
That implies that all currencies have the same connotation. USD/Pounds/Euros seems much more not scammy to me tha baht or rubles. Especially the latter ones would prevent me from paying in that. Russia is a scam nation.
The problem with charging in rubles in the USA isn't the currency, it is that a person who transacts in rubles likely lives in Russia. And, thanks to the Ukraine invasion, the USA has sanctions that make paying someone in Russia rather difficult.
