@timbray I think what Tim was saying more discreetly was: how can people who love Phanpy contribute $$$ (or S$S$S$ I guess) to help you at least pay for the tools you use?
What Ethan said. But also, I'm trying to develop a feeling for what kind of projects would find AI tools cost-effective, especially since $10/month will probably go up. My guess was that Phanpy would be a “yes” so that's useful input.
I keep hoping it turns into a bigger product. It's such a good piece of software. Maybe the current scale is enough but unlike Chee Aun to be well compensated.
@timbray so far, I wouldn't consider AI tools cost-effective yet. I've been using them full-on since the beginning — interesting at first, but I still see AI as just doing the "easy" stuff. Creating new stuff is easy, but maintaining is the huge bulk of work that I want to offload to.
None of the AI tools are able to "upgrade all dependencies, apply all the breaking changes, test them, see if everything works, if some dependencies are still breaking, downgrade some of them, repeat, every month"

I was on the early beta (free), then paid for a year ($100/year) when it's out of beta. After that, I stopped paying.
