I feel the same way.

To be clear: I understand why subscriptions work well for developers. As a consumer, I'm finding I have an enormous amount of subscriptions and it becomes harder and harder to justify an additional $1/month, $5/month, etc. for an app.

Maybe that means I'll be more selective in what I buy, which doesn't hurt. But it does lead to a "well that's a bummer" when I find a cool app I'd be willing to pay an up-front fee for, but realize it's subscription.

Right now I'm using Obsidian, which has been awesome, but it doesn't have a native UI feel to me.

A one-time payment is a nice financial boost, but it's not sustainable over time. My plan is not to build an app, make quick money and then forget about it. I'm working on this full-time, every day. It's long term and I need long-term users to grow.
