Sure: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/veggie-garden-planner/id132992... Suggestions are always welcome. My friend is also working on an Android version, though it doesn't have feature parity (yet).
Very cool. My girlfriend (and probably her father) would love this, but they're both on Android. Any plans to port it?

#95So... what’s the tool??
It's an IPTV playlist management tool: m3u-editor.com Posted it on HN a while back as well, but interestingly it is one of my least successful HN posts.
Nitpick: A user who is not happy; users are people, not things.

#97That's so exciting and encouraging! Congratulations :) Looking forward to your future update that says, "My SaaS paid for my yacht."
I hope he would do something more interesting than spending his money on a yacht.
I assume you're negative towards yachts like Larry Ellison's - giant fuel chugging beasts that the owner flies in to port to go on once or twice a year and that requires a crew the size of a small company to operate.
Then there are small craft with a sail that are completely environmentally guiltless to operate, and that can introduce kids to the joy of sailing and to the wonders of the ocean.
The second kind are awesome.

I like your current prices. When I consider subscribing to something (rarely) I have to weigh something like a $10 / month cost heavily because I can only have a few of those total.

It seems obvious that as a user I would like low prices, but at the risk of…

If you're thinking of pricing this low, you really have to start targeting users that value what you're selling more or expand the product to solve more valuable pain points. If you've got a niche product, you're unlikely to sell…

#100Congrats for getting from zero to one! It seems like you have some product market fit, that's really great. As others have pointed out, I'd recommend: - please rename "amateur" to something more positive. no customer wants to be called an amateur - Increase prices for the pro tier - Improve your "pricing plan" page, take a look at other (more successful) SaaS products and change button labels accordingly. Just take t…
Maybe avoid the dark UX pattern if you can avoid it. Though it's accepted in industry at this point that customers will need to actively fight against the producer not to get swindled - it's still nice to respect your customers.
