I really miss a preview / demo here. With wavve, I instantly see how the shared clip will look like. I can even scroll down to the social media links and see a lot of examples directly in instagram / twitter / facebook.

Added a demo on the homepage.

I think your demo would be a lot more enticing if you fix the captioning. It flows poorly, omits critical words, and has spelling and word choice errors.

A eureka moment is realizing that customers interests are actually aligned with businesses being profitable. If the business provides the customer with something they want - and they usually do, if the customer is willing to pay them money at all - then it is in their best interest for the business to continue operating, which means it is in their interest for the business to have a profitable business model. This is…

I'm not disputing that customer interests are aligned with a business's profitability insomuch as they'll be around to continue to provide you the product or service you want. We agree here. I'm simply wondering if there's a "your margin is my opportunity" play here where a company could devour SaaS companies by changing the distribution model. That's all. This thought has been banging around in my head for the past…

I think what you need to consider is how that opportunity looks different than the business models that SaaS overtook, and how it solves the problems that led to those models being overtaken. I'm sure SaaS isn't the last software business model we'll ever have, but your response to the list of questions read to me like it lacked understanding of why SaaS won the most recent battle.

$76k/mo sounds like quite a lot to me!

Sounds like the person to whom you're responding is talking about the development effort, not the revenue.

I can't say it's my best moment, but they were belittling OP's achievements so I was belittling their statement. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a joke, but I thought it might show a bit of support for OP
