The tragedy of cross posting across multiple social networks is that most don’t bother to give proper attribution to the appropriate accounts on each network.
It’s nice to use “Real Name” but it’s so much better and valuable to the author to use @RealName.
@luis_in_brief @zachleat @BenRiceM I think the cost is already justified. It’d be a neat feature tho.
@zachleat@zachleat.com@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM it’s pretty rude to complain about price on a thread with the original author…
@zachleat @janl @BenRiceM fair!
Let me phrase it more constructively: coming from someone who really appreciates high-quality software, pays for a lot of it, and literally works all day (when not poasting) to support solo software developers: the price, given the important *but limited* functionality, feels too high and will be hard to justify in the market going forward. As someone who wants you to succeed, I suspect you either need to improve the feature set or lower the price.
@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM to be clear—this service costs $3 a month, no? I’m currently using Buffer, which costs $5 per channel per month
@zachleat @luis_in_brief @janl I think that’s correct. Buffer is $60 per year per service, Croissant is $20 for the three services we support
@zachleat @luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM Croissant costs $1.67 a month. Highway robbery!
@zachleat @janl @BenRiceM yeah, but Buffer has so much more functionality that it is really aimed at a different market that is traditionally less price-sensitive (because it goes on the company card).
I think maybe part of why I’m sensitive to it is that I opted for $3/month to try it out before making an annual commitment? so I’m getting reminded regularly.
@luis_in_brief @zachleat @janl improving the feature set is definitely the plan we want to add iPad and Mac apps, and features like history and scheduled posts.
But we also thought given that it’s a subscription, better to start high and if needed, lower the price, rather then start too low and have to “bait and switch” existing users by raising the price
@BenRiceM @luis_in_brief @zachleat Ivory did the same, while publicly stating what they are working on next before they consider “the price justified” because enough people wanted even just a barebones version.
I think it’s a great strategy.
