I'm a Japanese and I haven't seen kids playing Tamagotchi for years.

There are various models released in Japan: https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/tamagotchi/

The author here. Thanks for the advice. Yeah, getting many complaints means that you are solving the right problem.

Hi Aleksandar, Great to know that you are continuing to use my app! high five

Thanks!

The author here.

You are right. I basically build my apps for myself who always use the same computers. I understand there are various people with various needs - but I would like to focus on pleasing people who are similar to me. I believe this is important to provide a good service. I don't feel like making apps like Microsoft Office with tons of features to please everyone.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

Nope, because I don't like file-based sync. It's slow, unstable and hard to implement. People will say "how about Google Drive/OneDrive/Box support?" Hell awaits you.

The author here. That's a personal preference. I don't like WYSIWYG but do prefer plain Markdown.

Actually there is a demo version which allows you to make 5 notes without time limit and sync feature.

The author here. Thanks! Yeah this app is basically for professional use. I'm providing it to only those who got more productivity with it and who would think that is worth more than the price. I don't know why emails got marked as spam.

Nope, at least for now. Because I won't use a web client. Features that I don't use always be buggy. This is what I've learned through my solo dev.

The author here. I think so. I don't like ads, too. People started visiting my webpage after I started talking about my stories, instead of pitching my product.

> A much smaller (5-10MB) quota with no time limit

That's interesting and I basically agree with your opinion. You will be more comfortable to try it. But I suspect that many free riders will come eat the server resources. This is not a startup. I would rather like to be small.

Electron and React Native

0 or 1 now. It's scalable.

Ah okay. I don't see any difference in the retention so far.

1. About 50%-50%

2. Since my app target is developers, their goals look basically same. But some users are designers, directors, etc. Japanese tend to tweet their thoughts on Twitter and English speakers tend to post their thoughts on our forum or to email me. In a nutshell, Japanese make indirect reactions on social media and English speakers tell me directly.

3. Those who have too many suggestions usually quit using my app soon in my experience because their problems are different from mine. You don't have to please everyone.

Hi, the author of Inkdrop here. There're already many Japanese users because I've also wrote blog posts in Japanese. Here is a Japanese version of this article: https://blog.craftz.dog/how-ive-attracted-the-first-500-paid...

Cheers
