That's nice but costs $$. <now here comes the bit where i talk about MY solution...>

I have a markdown file in a private git repo for each month, I append a new header with the date at the start of each day and use it as a notepad, dumping whatever comes to mind. Most importantly I don't go back and revise what I've written.




As a software engineer, I'm always baffled by this reaction... It's $10, less than what I just paid for lunch. Have we completely lost the value of good software?


My wife complains when I buy a $2 app, yet we spend that on a coke from a machine without a second thought.


We've lost the value of any digital goods. People will balk at paying $.99 for a song they will one forever but won't think 2 seconds about dropping a $1 into the hat of a busker on the subway.


(Also a software engineer)

Yes, we've probably lost the value of good software a bit. The bigger issue is that I no longer judge the value of software based purely on a page (or app store description) advertising it. I need to try it out to see its value. So if the company is charging up front for the software, just about any amount seems too much.


They have a free trial available.
