So the app is free to download from the Apple site, and will run free, and is open source, but you have in-app purchases, and certain features can’t be used until you pay for them, is that right?

What are the paid features and what are the costs? Do I have to install the app to see the list of paid features and costs?

You might get a better response from HN if you give us more info up front.

Paid features are Live and event clip viewing over the internet, and receiving iOS notifications. You're paying for use of my server in those cases though, not for features I've made closed source. You can edit the code to use your own server if you wish too.

I'm new to HN and thought shilling the paid stuff violates the rules, so I didn't mention them.

(I'm a mod here) - it's fine to talk about paid features, as long as it's clear which ones are paid and which ones not.

The only thing that wouldn't be fine is to post a Show HN with no way to try the product out (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) and you're fine on that part.

HN ain't a non profit charity, but is the forum of a venture capitalist company, so talking about paid things does not violate any rules.

Paying for things does cause some folks to champ at the bit, though, so his assessment is not unwarranted.

		It mostly gets people going on and on about how they could do it themselves for free.
