Monthly update and paid feature plan

[izhangzhihao]

Hi, all paid users,

Firstly, thanks for your support! That means a lot to me. And for those who contributed to this project before by OpenCollective or code or other ways, please contact me and I will give you a free license.

This project is five years old, and I have maintained this project for five years. Over the past year, I didn't spend lots of time on this project because I've been busy with work, and there have been fewer updates. But I still keep doing bug fixes and small feature requests.

Please believe that I have put unparalleled energy into this project. Feature requests and bug fixes are not done without any effort. For the sustainable development of this project, I will make some parts of this project (the C# part is completely rewritten) and the new ones added in the future as paid features.

And, the open-source part of this project will still stay free, and free for always.

Now I'm trying to start an "At Least One Feature Request or Bug Fix Per Month Plan", which means that I will at least make one feature request or bug fix done every month for paid users, and this plugin will update monthly. This basically improves the value of this plugin for paid users and makes this plugin live longer and better.

Please just fire your feature request or bug report, and I will try to fix them. And don't forget to upload your screenshots of "Help -> Register or Manage Licenses". And if someone else already fired a feature request or bug report, please 👍 for that.

Happy coding~

Hi, sad news for students(It does NOT affect the license already obtained), I found that more than 65% of the orders were from students. But the basic free-to-use features are enough for students' coding, so I disabled the free educational licenses for students. If you really think that you need the paid features, please contact me by my email.

I see, thank you for your reply.

Hi, i was just wondering if you would enable a lifetime license for a higher price? I would be happy to pay more for a non-subscription price model.

In case of anyone wants a lifetime license, especially users using WeChat and Alipay, please read it here

Hi @ClumsyPenguin, If you donate $50 here and email me, you will receive lifetime software license support. However, due to Jetbrains' restrictions, users must email me([email protected]) every year when the license expires and I will generate a new 100% discount coupon code for them to redeem for a one-year license. This way, you can receive our software support permanently and enjoy annual discounts.

All good. But why not provide a fallback license?
