That's true.
I still need to figure out the best way to monetize the project, PRO version plus support seemed the most straightforward way, but maybe it is not the only one.
I was hoping to lure the engineers with a good technology and finally sell to whoever has budget with the hope that the engineers would sell the product inside the organization.
But somehow this is not working.
Maybe they don't need it?
Maybe I have to find a specific niche...
Any idea is welcome...
Why would someone buy support from you rather than someone with a track record with a popular database? Do you know what people that make those purchase decisions look for? I'm not going to speculate, since I don't make those decisions, but your post makes it sound like you haven't figured out what you're selling or why someone should buy it from you.
