Looking for feedback on a new project

Hey, all! I’m working on a new project to upgrade our self-hosting capabilities. It’s a cloud storage alternative to Nextcloud and Owncloud. They were too complex for my tastes so I wrote my own! It let’s you choose your storage directory and upload/download to and from it over the internet. That’s it!

Right now I’m thinking $9.99 for a LIFETIME purchase DRM FREE. Is that reasonable?

Alternatively I was wondering if maybe instead I should try to sell cloud storage itself? I’m really passionate about the cloud stuff I’ve been building and I’m looking for a way to finance getting deeper into it and further development.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time ™ ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
