Whether that's important to you, only you can judge.

#23Airborn needs to charge more for their business users. If there's one common lesson on Indie Hackers, it's that everyone (including customers) stands to gain from charging more. If Airborn creators on on this thread: how did you think about getting people to pay while making the source available? It doesn't seem commonly done.
We're basically banking on medium-size businesses finding it more convenient to use a hosted service, especially when it offers the same or a higher level of security.

The collaboration algorithm is currently quite simple, and paragraphs are locked when editing them. In the future we'd like to use a P2P algorithm, e.g. using Y.js.

#28I'd recon they would suggest you keep 2 tiers and add a call us tier for b2b enterprise.
I see where decently sized companies would pay a lot more than $10/month/user to ensure their sensitive docs can't be stolen.

#29On the document editor, is it just me or are you missing a blockquote control? Also, is there a reason you're using inline styles to do italics and bold instead of the specific tags for those things? (Deleted question you answered downthread.)
Regarding inline styles, I don't remember why, sorry. It might again have been to fix some inconsistency between browsers.

#30Is that a change in focus or a limitation of the demo?
