Consider defining or showing a few examples on the landing page describing exactly what a "buy-it-for-life" item is.

I'm not sure if you mean items I'll be buying until death (like soap, toothpaste, and socks), or things I buy once and expect them to last for a lifetime.

I see the "ZSA - Moonlander" example, but I'm unsure how to interpret what I'm seeing: "Hours" means how long I've had this particular item? And for what I paid for it, "Cost per hour" is just that.

Congratulations on the launch!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll working on improving the landing page! You're totally right though, it lacks explanations and examples

To answer your question here, BIFL (in my experience) means paying extra for a premium quality item that will last significantly longer than the cheaper alternative. However, in some cases, it's worth buying the cheaper item if you don't use it enough.

The ZSA Moonlander example is a product I spent the extra $$$ on, and in the end it was totally worth it given how many hours I've spent using the keyboard. I built the site to put into perspective what the value of the keyboard is. Would I spend ~$0.04 an hour to rent this keyboard? Definitely yes

It doesn't necessarily mean paying more, it just means products that are durable or made to last

True! Although I'd say there's usually a correlation between price and durability/quality

Here's an example of something cheap that's lasted me a long time: https://www.costperuse.com/@nahtnam/purchases/0018ace2-af37-... (I don't think they designed it to be durable, it just happened to be)
