We can't offer our package at this price and license for a huge number of people. We have some goals to reach 200 sales as soon as possible, so we had to offer this in an urgent manner.

I think OP means it’s a fake or arbitrary sense of scarcity. If you have a goal in mind like a kickstarter campaign then it might be better to say it. For example. Pricing 49 for the first 200 people because I can quit my day job and go full time on this XYZ project. The audience has a purpose other than their own fear of missing out. Maybe think of the user here...

I’m afraid of XYZ so I’ll buy now

.vs

I’d really love to support this guy so I’ll buy now

Now long term which customer mindset is really going to make you successful?

Hope it helps! Nice product

Thank you, this is really a good idea that didn't come to my mind. I've just started my journey as a maker and I will make sure to show my more details next time. Now I can't do updates to not break anything.
Find someone who can help you with devops so that you're not afraid to make updates!

I would take the parent post's suggestion about pricing. Other than that, this project looks awesome. Keep going!
