I can't think of any way to answer this question in a meaningful way.

SaniCMS sounds like something for sanitation, btw.

> [...] they seemed to be cautious to not say something that criticizes the product.

Well yeah. In general, people don't want to come across as sounding critical. The feedback loop is a two-way street--the responsibility for gathering accurate, honest feedback doesn't lie just on the people you're trying to sell it to.

> The church is too cautious to try out new things.

That's a pretty broad brush. It sounds like you put a lot of eggs in a fairly small basket. That's not generally the most effective approach, while understanding it's good to have at least someone on board before going broader.

> They preferred buying the product but at a very low price or getting it for free.

Huh. That's so weird.

Regarding Notisha: there seems to be nothing "faith-based" at all around a Q&A app. While having a target market is swell, if your focus is too narrow, you're missing a ton of potential opportunity.

At this stage in your startup mentality, I think attempting a sale might be the best approach. Startups require grit, unwavering dedication, and a willingness to stay with it.

You already have the app and the infrastructure: why can't you float it on the side?

Thank you for your analysis of the post I made earlier. I have learned a thing or two from it.

If the sale fails, I'll definitely do it on the side but with a few tweaks.
