No. But I'm one of the dozens users who advised you not to offer life-time plans from a busines point-of-view (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35741479) and you didn't change the offering, so I'm biased when see the page. Still a good offering from a user perspective and I will you all the success and sales.

If you want to promote your product on HackerNews you can use a normal submission or 'Show HN' instead of a question (example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25045315) Users can upvote and comment. I'd add a first comment "Author here, happy to answer questions", that sometimes increass the chance that users comment.

I totally understand. I know lifetime offering wouldn't be good on the long run, but it'd help us generate some short term cash in order to keep the project running. I'm planning to just keep it until we reach a certain number of sales.

Thank you for you feedback. It really means a lot
