Livecode Future

Hello All,

I'll start.
After reviewing Livecode's new direction and offer.
I feel very positive about this change.
Maybe in the future I will feel differently, but currently, as a solo dev,
even 2 or 3 devs, as I expand, it all is kind of in the range of reasonable.
The <= 5% tax hurts a bit, but its manageable.
If this is a model  that creates better sustainability and faster dev
cycles for Livecode, and if thats really true ...
Then I want to be in full support of this model.

I was somewhat surprised (sorry honest) at how well the new direction was
explained. Great job on that.
I like the no-pressure offer. 2027 is a lot of heads up for people to
align their business model or to get off the platform.
I like the flexibility of the offer for different kinds of devs

Of course my review is based on my own situation and my own plans for the
future of my company MakeShyft.
I also work @ Canela, which is a hat I am not wearing at this moment.
Everyone's situation is different, and I can see some users not loving this
at all.

All the best, may we all prosper and have our dreams come true.

Tom
