Calendars and the people who pay for them

I mostly get why people don't like subscriptions. There's a lot of good stuff out there and no one's got the money to pay for everything. Watching something you've paid for once go down the subscription route can be a frustrating thing. Who wants to keep paying for something they've already paid before?This happened with the amazing calendar app, Fantastical. They chose to become a subscription-based app and the App Store was not having it. While I understand what's causing the frustration, it's also ridiculous to expect developers to only be paid once for their work and continue to demand new things from them. If you want to continue to have new features, then you'll need to pay for them. Simple as that. Maybe start treating developers like the people they are, eh?There's also a brand spankin' new blog post waiting for you. It's called, Why It's Okay and Necessary To “Kill Your Darlings.”When doing any sort of creative work, it's eventually going to need an edit. Remember, your first draft is rarely your best draft. It's essential that you learn to not be so stinking precious about what you do. I mean, like it, sure, but be prepared to slash it down to make it better.
