Hi vdemedes—nice work! I'm curious whether you've considered putting this in the mac app store or not, or what your reasoning was around that.

Also curious if you did beta testing if you could tell us anything about what that process was like (e.g. finding people, collecting feedback on bugs or usability issues)

(Just curious since I'm working on a desktop app with similar pricing etc., not in the database space though)




Hey, thank you!

> I'm curious whether you've considered putting this in the mac app store or not, or what your reasoning was around that.

I haven't put it on Mac App Store for two reasons primarily:

1. I already figured out licensing, integration with Paddle, building and distribution for my previous app, so I was able to reuse 99% of it 2. I wanted to have full control over rolling out updates quickly in case a critical bug appears

I tested it myself, because I was building this app for my needs, so I kind of knew exactly what I wanted it to do. I also received regular extensive feedback from a friend, who's also helped me shape the app a lot.
