If you follow me, you may have seen my #BuildInPublic journey developing it over the last few months! It's now launched, and is available on the Mac App Store for $25 (via in app purchase so you can try before you buy).

@amyworrall Heck yeah, this is awesome and I already have a project this'll be great for.
I do appreciate that it's not a subscription too, even though I know that's a big draw for us indies. Instabought!

@ikenndac awesome! Let me know if you have any feature requests!
I didn't think I'd have much luck with a subscription for something this niche -- with a one-off, I might get people buying it just for a single project and saying to themselves "it'll probably be useful later”.
But choosing a business model is hard, I dunno if I've made the right call

@amyworrall Will do!
Heck if I know about business models. I added a subscription option to my app a while ago, marketed as a lower-cost entrypoint to try the app out (our one-off is $99 with periodic paid major feature updates). A decent number of people take it, but the non-subscription is decently popular.

@amyworrall so very cool. I used to be a huge nerd about this stuff, and definitely burned through lots of wasted paper when I screwed up my settings. Good luck with it!

@amyworrall this looks great! A question, with apologies if I missed it: does it do margin creep compensation (shifting page margins as the booklet gets thicker so outer pages don’t have their inner margins get smaller and smaller as they wrap around more and more inner pages)?

@mfessler (I’ve heard that called "creep" btw). It doesn't do that yet -- it's one of the features that didn't make the cut for version 1.0. I've got plans to add it at some point though!

@amyworrall yup, you’re right, I got my terms mixed up. Just edited the original post. Cool - thanks, will keep this in mind for next project
