Thanks for sharing this Tom, really appreciate it. Just one point. When you get to $1M in revenue your payments are half what you suggest I,e. $25K as the percentage steadily drops as your revenue increases. You can see an example PDF table in the FAQ under "How much are Application Payments?".

I have been with Livecode for about 11 years. While I have not yet shipped a whole lot ...yet I took all this time to work on my skills and to build tooling for myself so that I can create small niche products extremely quickly and also large products at a quick pace as well. So in a very real sense I've been building income potential. Income potential, which I will be joyfully executing on for the next decade plus, with many different products. I've spent MAYBE $3 or 4K on Livecode over those years (because I used the community to build.) So in my case, to me, I really have received much value from Livecode, as Kevin said in the video. To me, Livecode is asking, ...Tom, can you pay us 50k to make $1 million? And they are promising an increasingly better platform in exchange, and faster updates. That leaves $950k for me, my family and my business. I cannot speak on behalf of anyone else, and clearly for some this really sucks. I'm sorry for that and in no way am I saying that this is easy.
