>/g/ wants faster software>make simple fast software like a calculator, charge $1>"nooooo, not like that!!"Is it really just economic factors?
Do you provide at least $1 of value in other people's lives?Your calculator better blow away the rest of the free calculators available to justify the purchase price.
>>109133762It comes with 5 years of upgrades, and it will remain working on all the same platforms in that time.It has a config file and it's the same for your desktop system and for your phone. It does user style.You get to keep (installers for) all offline versions you've used.For $2,50 you get this, plus educational use licensed source code and a REPL to run it.
>>109133762It can put as many decimals of Pi into your system clipboard as it fits, or a specific amount.
>>1091338155 years of upgrades for fucking calculator???1$ for fucking calculator when it is built into the phone as default app and also there are tons of more advanced calculators for free
>>109133815>plus a REPL>the default version doesn't come with a REPLIsn't a REPL the primary fucking usecase of a calculator?
>>109134123A physical calculator costs like 100$ even though the materials cost 10$ combined at most.Stingy little bastard betch
>>109133722its better 1 in 10 pay $10 than 10/10 pay $1 because that saves 9 people from divulging there personal info
>>109133722Yes>I want X>how much are you willing to pay for it?>REEEEEEEEEE
>>109134149Interactive session in the implementation language, obviously the normal version has a calculator-style "REPL" with an on-screen keyboard already.>>109134287Knot my problem.
>>109133722waste of a thread you dumb n*g*er retard faggot. kys
>>1091348696 7 69
>>109134859You already lost your customers by claiming basic functionality would be behind a pay-wall, now you're just scrambling for damage control.Cogratulations, you just the investors too.
>>109133722People are willing to pay good money for something that will make their life easier. Maybe no one really needs another calculator?
>>109133722How does it compare to Desmos?Can I see the source?
>>109135189Version incl. personal use licensed source code and REPL (programming interface and to run/edit the source code) costs $2,50.>>109135189Bigger product than I'm making, I'm more interested in calculators for programmers, storekeepers, bookkeepers and accountants.

>>109135508I just shit this out in like 5 minutes and i used 0 a.i. cause im good at C. Hopefully this didn't render you homeless.
>>109135508Oops forgot to fclose(fd);
>>10913553742 lines of C code
>>109135508Thanks, how do I buy this and use it on my phone?
>>109135588No you dont buy it just get your gcc clang or tcc and do a gcc calc.c -o calc or clang calc.c -o calc or tcc calc.c -o calc and mv calc /bin and type "calc" + enter.Edit code if you need 64 bit instead of 32 bit values or add a arbitrary precision math libraryUse a computer terminal on linux bsd or haiku or grapheneos vm to run terminal on google pixel phone that has grapheneos
>>109135630Where do I buy a gcc?
>>109135650The car wash is 100m away. Should I walk or drive?
>>109133722I feel like if it was the best calculator app ever then it'd get patrons.your target audience would be people using a calculator all day, every day so if it offers a huge upgrade why wouldn't you pay for that?
it better be a graphing calculator app at that point
>>109133722it's near impossible to make paid software better than free open source software because freedom and availability of source code are themselves big boosts to value of the provided software.so paid software has to resort to anti-user tactics such as vendor lock-in, or ride out on the volume of specialized code that nobody has replicated yet in the open source world.
>>109135720Ugh politics this code here is basically "your calculator startup that you quit your job for is pointless, see i coded up something simple so hopefully you get your job back"
>>109135720You understand my main competition is Microsoft Windows' built-in calculator, Calculator.app, and whatever retarded Linux DE's ship, right?
>>109135918Saar buy my calculator vercel app for 6 billion will do
>>109135918no, your competition is qalculate.
If I was going to pay money for a calculator it would be a physical one.
>>109135720>it's near impossible to make paid software better than free open source software because freedom and availability of source code are themselves big boosts to value of the provided software.why are fosstards so delusional? nobody is gonna improve your software for free
>>109133722Paid software will never be faster than free software. If you aren't doing it for the love of the game you're ngmi. Fuck cuck licenses though.
>>109136001learn2read, impossible to make paid software != impossible to monetize free software.most of software I use is foss. many of its authors are supported by donations, non-profit grants, selling services rather than software itself.
>>109135172Like what? What alternative you've paid for for speed?
Bot agenda thread/thread
>>109136046good morning saar nobody wants your caluclator when python exists>bu-put the jam on already
>>109135211Storekeepers and accountants don't care if 420*5 takes 10 microseconds instead of 30 microseconds
>>109133722>/g/ wants faster software>pajeet do dog shit web page disguised as a software, charge $1 with ads and telemetry>"nooooo, not like that!!"fify op
>>109136083No telemetry and native GUI.Somehow anon can't stop strawmanning when the topic is how to make money with software without being a freetard beggar or a corpocuck.
>>109136083When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me, Speaking words of wisdom: Write in C. As the deadline fast approaches, And bugs are all that I can see, Somewhere, someone whispers: Write in C. Write in C, write in C, Write in C, oh, write in C. LOGO's dead and buried, Write in C. I used to write a lot of FORTRAN, For science it worked flawlessly. Try using it for graphics! Write in C. If you've just spent nearly 30 hours, Debugging some assembly, Soon you will be glad to Write in C. Write in C, Write in C, Write in C, yeah, Write in C. BASIC's not the answer. Write in C. Write in C, Write in C Write in C, oh, Write in C. Pascal won't quite cut it. Write in C.
>>109136061So nothing? gotcha
OP has not yet learned that the real reason you let a kid sell lemonade is to teach them disappointment
