Hi! It’s hot off the press— we just launched it today!

Hey, I started a free trial a while back and didn't have the time to dig in, but this post made me go back and check it out. I have a red message bar at top saying "Your trial has ended. You will be unable to create or edit Retool pages."and it seems I can't use the new free plan.
Hi there, so sorry to hear that. I’d try visiting our billing page under settings/billing and see if you can select the free plan from there. If that doesn’t work, send me a note at timofey@retool.com and we’d be happy to fix this
Took a few minutes but I realized that white downgrade was clickable. The color and text difference threw me off.

I do have a question about plans if you happen to know the answer. I see there's an option to share an app publicly (I'm assuming this wouldn't require people to log in to view?), but when I select it I'm shown and error that my current plan doesn't support this. But when I go to view the plans none of them mention a public view feature so I have no idea which one I would actually need for that.

Also do you guys have any programs to sponsor small open source projects with free or discounted higher tier plans? I'd love to migrate my open source project over (a dashboard that tracks various metrics), but I would need the publicly viewable options and I'm not sure I can cover the cost since I'm doing this pro-bono.

I just sent you an email. We love open source, and would love to support you in any way possible!

On public apps: we are in the process of creating a separate pricing package for that based on something other than users (e.g. pageviews). Since you're working on an open source project, we're happy to offer it to you for free; will follow up over email.

Awesome! Super excited to try this out properly now.
Maybe support GitHub auth?
