Is this some sort of premature bullying, after dev already opened up on current affairs and the near future?

Already installed Voyager and patiently waiting for the update for Bean. If it's get released, I'm happy to use it because I paid 35€ for Lifetime. If not I will use Voyager and be mad at myself paying 35€.

Ah... I still have faith. I mean communication could have been slightly better cough, cough , but after all it is a two man gig which is more prone to hard times. I anticipated kind of a growing process, when buying. Christian's Apollo for reddit was the playbook example how it could be. On the other hand dev of the mastodon woolly App went dark on all outlets... that leaves me wondering if something bad happened to him.

I see it that way. If the (indie) product is nice, I would like to support the dev behind it. Period.

Here in Germany entrepreneurs have to calculate their manpower with at least 80-90 € per hour when offering contracts, just to have a sustainable business. I understand the scaling effects but 35 € is quite modest with that calculation in mind (even though regular workers have to put in some working hours to afford the 35 € :). Im curios if this offer is sustainable after all.
