Hi - this looks great, but can you share what your plans are for the premium features in the futures? It feels like the big value here for you is the crowd-sourced info that you can aggregate from all users. What concerns me is investing time in a tool that builds value for you but then the features get stripped back when the premium offering lands.
Cheers.

no risk here. Tool is MIT, if community doesn't like our approach, you fork it. So we'll be faithful to our commitments and this licensing model is the best insurance for it. Now, I can also tell you that people using the free software and contributing IPs will get back, for free, the IPs dangerous for their technology footprint. (like if you use Wordpress / SSH & Nginx scenario, you'll get the IP attacking those). Free. Period.
We monetize the aggregated, curated data and the features we offer that cost us infrastructure to run.
