This is excellent timing for $work. We'll be needing push notifications for a mobile app we're building over the next couple months. How do we integrate Pushover in our app? Is there an SDK we include in the app, or would users have to purchase and install the Pushover app? Our app will be free, so we'd like to avoid pushing costs on to our users.

Have worked out the math behind one-time purchases supporting unlimited perpetual service?

Started a curated ecommerce site for vinyl lovers that's been profitable since day 1: http://vinylloop.com/
I started building http://www.splatsearch.com A comparison engine with big plans to compare everything in the world. One online marketer and 2 developers building it. Currently the live version is a very different snapshop from the dev version which we roll out soon and just has 14 million sample products. We bootstrapped it and it probably just about profitable even though its barely live.
