You state open-source, building in the open, then charge 15 dollars for a lot of confusion and sus currently.

On the homepage I see for 15 dollars one time fee.

"Full access to source code"

is it not open source?

"Receive free lifetime updates"

again is it not open source?

"Deploy unlimited projects anywhere"

it cost money to run a database? how does 15 dollars one time payment cover that?

Really confusing.

Nothing is really is really free in this world it takes time and effort to develop such a tool. for the price of 15 you get lifetime updates to the service and full source code. i think it a good offer but fair point to you.
