Am I the only one who thinks the theme has too high of a contrast?
Definitely not, that's why I built multiple variations :)

Thanks! Credits to Fira Code, my favorite font <3

#64Without knocking the creators achievement, I find it curious how devs will rage and cry murder when LastPass wants a few bucks for a hosted product but don’t bat an eye for shelling out $99 for what is, when you come down to it, a config file for your IDE .
I think I am one of those. I generally don't like "subscription model" products. I am OK paying whatever price one time to buy something, but having to keep paying recurrently for some service incites locking to me, as the moment I decide I don't want to pay anymore I end up empty handed.
I’m asking out of curiosity, as someone who is thinking about implementing a subscription model, do you not like it even though you know the product you’re using has recurring costs for usage (e.g. charges for API/DB calls), or are you only against subscription models when the cost of usage is minimal to none (e.g. MS Office, Adobe CS)?

#65I commend you for getting people to pay for a color theme - something that people think of as a freebie. I would just think that no one would ever pay for this and not even try. You tried and you are succeeding. There's a lesson in that.
In 2001, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar thought “Let’s sell an equivalent to the dozen of free open-source bugtrackers, but for a price.” Today Atlassian is worth about $60bn, they owned about 75%.
And it's ripe for a lightweight alternative that gets customers that want the fast, basic set of bug tracking features.
Jira is horrific.

#66Congrats!! This is a very pleasant news in these difficult times especially. Wish you lots of good luck. Hope you inspire lot of folks on HN here.

#67I checked out the theme itself, and immediately a message showed up saying that it detected my country and offered me a discount code to make sure that the theme is still affordable for my country. It's simple things like this that probably help a side project like this get to where it is, great job!
I can't emphasize enough how important Purchasing Parity Power is. Making it affordable for other countries is crucial.

If people are buying it then the argument can be made it is both useful and fairly priced to the customer. It’s not like the company has a monopoly on IDE configuration.

#70>> I believe in Purchasing Parity Power, and I want to make this affordable. Saw this on clicking the pro link. Really appreciate the gesture. Wish more products/creators thought this way :)
Not everybody earns a US salary, yet we live in a world where all prices are the same. I agree with you, more creators should do that kind of thing.
