Garnering Reviews for Bento
On a whim...
I got impatient tonight with the slow adoption that Bento is getting. I love what I built and it does wonders for my reading, but I want this to be more widespread because 1) I think it solves a problem 2) I like helping others do good work 3) I really want to make some money off of this, invest it, and free myself from a full-time job so that I can have full control and build the tools that I want. The ultimate freedom to spend my time the way that I want.
So with that, I set my app to $1 and reached out to the r/RoamResearch Reddit community about my promotion.
Here’s to an experiment that I was a little scared to do, tbh, and to trying new things because life is too short not to. 🤙

Well there was plenty of demand. I acquired 14 new users at $1 each. In my Reddit post I mentioned that a review would be appreciated. Unfortunately only got one of those.
I just set the pricing back to $10 right now, and we’ll see if this experiment paid off in some way.
