Your app looks fine and interesting, The problem is the audience you are choosing, Mac users are very elitist.

I am sure you can get some market in Windows instead of Mac using electron, the windows users does not care which tech you used but that it just works and gets the job done.

Of course Windows users also they do not want trash but if have good performance and it works, It is fine.

This is different, Its not that c++ that people think from the 90's.

- Boden supports native components for iOS and Android and maybe other platforms in the future. - uses c++17 really clean with powerful abstractions, think all your app in just c++17, no xml or other craps, I want to make my app with just c++17. - no garbage collectors, slowness, pause the world etc - single binary - the fastest programming language in the market.

the list goes on and on.

I think LGPL is really more reasonable than the GPL as VLC case did.

Also you could follow the JUCE library model they got their free version and the pay version with a very attractive payment model.

I like JUCE but the components for mobile still not native l&f, Boden looks very promise with clean code using c++17.

But please keep a reasonable price for developers that make free apps and easy to pay.

Also if you could get a Rust version that it will change everything :)

You have good points and I guess you are not missing anything but Check the VLC case with the App store term of services, they pulled the app from the Store. It is really hard to deal with Apple. your app could be rejected and not accepted because it uses the GPL on it. Apple folks are scared of GPL.
