1) Developer launches crowdfunding for $720. 2) Crowdfunding fails, because nobody cares about or uses the software. 3) Developer throws a tantrum.

Did I miss anything? Why is this Hacker News worthy?

Funding and making free software sustainable has always been a top priority topic. Free software developers also need money like the rest of us.

Nobody forced him to become a free software developer or release his software for free. Bottom line: Even for free, nobody uses his software, that is why he is pissed off.

> even with a worst case scenario of 1% conversion rate,

I don't know much about this, but wouldn't that be a very good conversion rate?
