I totally understand the use of Tailwind UI for an easy way to achieve professional looking components; I use it every single day at my job.

At the same time, you're targeting this product towards customers who are already developer-oriented — a crowd that is familiar with, or can easily recognize, the same technologies you've used to build Monito. Tweaking the designs to have a more custom flair so it doesn't seem so copy and paste, avoiding the same icons for multiple figures, and especially lowering your price are all things that would probably help with early and continued adoption IMO.

As for things you could include to justify the existing price, I really don't know. There's a heavy difference between paying for a desktop-application license vs a browser extension.

Valid point. I started noticing Tailwind UI everywhere, and it starts to be a bit annoying indeed. Will def work on it.

We'll see about the price. So far, it sells ok. I'd rather focus on improving the quality and adding useful features.

Regarding the icons, I've just noticed and fixed that, thank you!
