Not really (just like $40 in donations from a donation button on the site). Releasing it for free captured basically the whole market, but I had no real way to capitalize on those users. That was my big learning lesson with that project.
In retrospect, I should have probably used it solely to get user data like Google does with Chrome and then done something useful with that data, but this was before I realized that (somewhat shady) business model.
