Looking for feedback on a new project - eviltoast

Hey, all! I’m working on a new project to upgrade our self-hosting capabilities. It’s a cloud storage alternative to Nextcloud and Owncloud. They were too complex for my tastes so I wrote my own! It let’s you choose your storage directory and upload/download to and from it over the internet. That’s it!

Right now I’m thinking $9.99 for a LIFETIME purchase DRM FREE. Is that reasonable?

Alternatively I was wondering if maybe instead I should try to sell cloud storage itself? I’m really passionate about the cloud stuff I’ve been building and I’m looking for a way to finance getting deeper into it and further development.

    You can do both. Sell a license and sell cloud storage.

    The price depends on the market. Some people won’t pay out of principle, and some might even think it’s too cheap if you provide enough value.

    The only way to truly know is to actually build it and sell it.

    Best of luck!
