@tooly_app_ Hi. Thx for your reply. By Home view I mean something similar to this, a feature “Swiss Army Knife” developper apps tend to have:

@tooly_app_ Just bought your app today. It's great! I just miss some features like a text comparer/difference checker and maybe also a filename extractor, an image converter, an icon tool and a URL parser. Oh and a Home Screen view would b nice too! U planning 2 add any of these?

@StrAbZ And by the way, long live Nintendo! I see that we have some common interests. I hope the Switch 2 will be up to it. Let's see.

@StrAbZ I can imagine. Your app is quite new, it's only normal, it'll grow with time. I can help spread word on Reddit next time I come across a thread about "Swiss Army Knife apps", as they call them. And when the app is mature enough & ready for prime-time I strongly suggest you do too

@StrAbZ And that is a plus considering you sell your app on the Mac App Store. Because if your app does well, Apple will start to notice. And if it does then they start to advertise you and put your app forefront on their lists. And I'm sure that would be a huge boost.

@StrAbZ Yes, I saw your tweets about a possible price change. As for the int., I know others apps have terminal integration but shortcut integration would probably exclusive or almost to your app... And at the same time you'd approach it even more to the Apple ecosystem/design language.

@StrAbZ And last but not least, word needs to spread on the key platforms that your app exists and at the same time it needs to look appealing and balanced in all the aspects I mentioned (and others I'm sure I've forgotten). If you got it right, people will start to talk about your app.

@StrAbZ With each new tool that you add you're adressing a costumer's need. I for once miss IMHO basic tools like Text Difference, which, BTW appeal to a broader audience, and not just the programmers: also the writters, university students, web editors, etc. etc.

@StrAbZ But yours is pretty, is made in Europe, and has a better potential, that's why some hobbyists would ponder buying it. Another crucial point: the feature set needs to grow. But more important than the sheer number of tools is what kind of tools. With each new tool that you add...

@StrAbZ If you sell it like for, say, 30 or 35 € lifetime, you're addressing not only the coders but also the hobbyists who won't make money out of it. Subscription is fine but it's not for everybody. For very few I'd say when the competitors sell their apps for just a few bucks.

@StrAbZ Most similar apps are based on China. Call it racism or otherwise but the fact is that there's mistrust in America towards Chinese apps, especially in regards to security. Some fear there might be spyware in them and that kind of stuff. In that sense your app is at an advantage.

@StrAbZ Another problem is that you're competing with quite some other similar apps which are also brand new. Yours is well-positioned (Keywords, etc) but more people are releasing this kind of apps, and often with a larger feature set (30-40-50ish tools).

@StrAbZ They are the well-known apps, the ones people have been talking about for the last 2-3 years on platforms such as Reddit (with a user base very receptive to such apps). They have been using it to advertise hemselves and let be known. The apps are open-source and present on Github

@StrAbZ Many factors, I need time and many tweets... Not a huge market 4 this kind of app because of the target audience (mostly programmers) BUT at the same time bigger than it seems and with growing potential no doubt. Problem: DevUtils & DevToys entered it some years ago and are kings

@devutils_app Hi there. I sent you an email the other day because of an issue I’ve encountered when trying to license my copy of DevUtils. Did you have a chance to read it? Thx.
