No commitment at all. You can try it out first.
Thanks! One other Q: What about E2E security? Will you implement this for the comms between the bridges and the browsers? As I understand it I would run the bridges myself so it would make sense to have everything encrypted.

I'm making one, it wont be open-source but i'll respect privacy, allow free self-hosting... imagine a discord(call features) + slack(paid for companies). https://imgur.com/uSA8AMs.png https://imgur.com/P9ckNBn.png https://imgur.com/L9fDMKQ.png Ram usage is currently at 12-50mb on windows, up to 90mb with 50 messages with images(unoptimized, no virtual scrolling yet).

The $10 price tag is a huge selling point for me. It signals a few things: 1) It's less likely to be abandoned. 2) It has less (hopefully no) incentive to secretly monetize me or my data. 3) Instead of being a side project for a handful of people, this has the potential to be the full-time project for at least one person. I was a heavy Pidgin user too, and when you're in an arms race with Google, Facebook, etc. (all…
1) It's less likely to be abandoned. Flawed assumption. A $10 monthly fee may severely limit it's use --- and the less it is used, the more likely it is to be abandoned.

Sure, but it's much harder to bring 10$ a year to a 10$ a month price than the reverse. In one case you will make people angry and assuredly lose many customer, in the other, you may just gain more.
People always forget also the cost to support people over a "beta" software. That cost goes up the more customer he get, thus starting with less customers is certainly a good way to limit the amount of time spent on answering to support request.
Why are we repeating the past!
