Bro, $200!?! For a SQL browser? Nah…

$20 x 5,000 seats = $100,000 realized right now.

With that, he could invest it, finish the features, start work on 2.0 and charge and upgrade of $20 to all his customers when he has MSSQL, MySQL, pgsql, SQLite, Oracle. 2.0 could include cloud db’s.

Not everything has to be a subscription and if people continue to find value, they’ll upgrade if they think it worthy.

Subscriptions tend to be vampires on the wallet and are used to trap users into paying a developer indefinitely. I consider it hostile to users. The exception is if it’s a service that can’t run on my machine. Or a service that does back office for me.
