Thanks for sharing this!

Why not include the cost of your time to maintain and improve the service? Without including the cost of your own time it seems hard to make budget decisions (e.g. the tradeoff between a PaaS and using a provisioned VPS). Even if you're not paying yourself anything, it seems important to include what you could be making if you were doing something else with your time.

I definitely plan to share the cost of my time to work on Cushion. I've been tracking my time since the original idea. To give you an idea, I just crossed 2,000 hours for design and development. I didn't track time for customer support and writing, but it's up there. If I were to charge hourly for all my time spent on this app, I'd be sitting pretty. :)
