Ok. Makes sense. Truth is, we're not really pushing for monetization right now, it was more of a try out with the in-apps. Maybe, at our stage, power users working with the full app are more valuable than the earnings from a bunch of purchases.
The base functionality is free. In app purchases enable annotations and other more specialized features.
Would you say most people prefer paying for an app upfront rather than pay per feature?
Very good points. Thank you!
Fair enough :) Ill a/b test it with a few versions. Thanks!
So, it needs to become clear what it does in under 30 secs, preferably in the header. Ok. Why do you think the website has a B2B design?
Understood. You're right, a video is definitely better than the current demo for showing how it works. I'll look into the Facebook problem too. Seamed to work fine. Thanks a lot for the input!

Backed. Thanks for sharing the project.
It's based on the number of Google search results.
The concept is that the more results something has -> more mentions by people -> more popular.
Enough not to engage in this conversation with you but not enough to not reply.
Btw, for someone complaining about losing time, you seem to have a lot of it. ;)
It's called experimenting. We use it to evolve.
Resizing snaps is actually one of the next features on our list. :)
It's free. :)
Will do. New website coming up v1.2. Thanks!
In this version, no. But you will be able to do this in the next one.
We won't disappoint. :)
I know, it is. We're shortening it with the next version. :)
Well, it doesn't limit you to clipping in safari for one.
And even if you only clip in safari, it's not that seamless of a process with selecting the area and all.
The concept is a bit different. Snappy is not a screen capture app, it's a tool for referencing info between screens. But granted, it does it by taking a snapshot of a portion of the screen.
Snappy is designed to be seamlessly used, not a feature packed app. It's an extension to the OS.
It's going to be free forever. The image on the website is a bit old from when we wanted to charge for it.
It will have in-app purchases in later versions, but the basic version is always free.
Sorry for the confusion.
Glad you like it! Funny thing, "I didn't know i needed this" is the most common feedback we get. :)
Resizing is on the list, although it will impact the image quality if you resize up. On the same list I have making the window transparent so you can see content below it.
Not sure if I understand the second one. Do you mean quit Snappy after closing all snaps? (it's quietly sitting in the top bar)
Thank you for the feedback! The first point is planned for 1.2 which i hope to launch by years end. It also has annotations and more sharing+storage options. Plus iCloud with an iOS app so you can access the snaps on the phone. As for CMD+Q, you're right, it needs quit protection - added to list for 1.2.
Exactly, it prevents breaking context by switching windows back and forth to access a piece of information. Tiling is, of course, another way to solve the problem. I prefer snappy because i can extract the exact piece of information i'm interested in, for example a portion of an image or a paragraph of text, instead of the whole thing.
I think the $100/y makes sense from Apple's perspective and is probably one of the reasons why there are fewer shitty apps than Google, this along with all of the other confusing stuff they do, like provisioning profiles. It simply scares off the hobby developers who don't really want to build for the platform but rather try it out.
