Thanks so much for being forthcoming about the donations you received, as well as your commitment to maintaining free features. I've been weighing a paid subscription against voluntary donation for my own bootstrapped product launch, and I seem to keep finding more evidence that the donation model probably isn't the way to sustainability.

I have not yet seen a business that can comfortably survive long term with the “make a single donation” model. Recurring donations are something that can work, however.
