Thanks for the response, you basically confirmed what my hypothesis is regarding the onboarding process. I like the idea of some kind of visual indicator on the page to remind users that they will at some point have to start paying for the app. Unfortunately for me there is no way to continue using the service in any way after your trial period expires, so it's a hard stop for the user at that moment. However if they are actually using the thing that shouldn't be a problem.

If you spend your days preventing the next global ecological or thermonuclear disaster and looking down your nose at those who do something like sell a product, I find it hard to believe that you have a hard time figuring out something like this without reaching out to the community in this manner, but that is another issue I'm not interested in. What I was asking about is the fact that I have been reading HN for about a year now and I've never seen a "story" like this come into my news feed. I was wondering why one suddenly popped.

I don't get it. Why is this on HN?

I really don't have much personal experience to draw on here, but just to add my two cents, you might try to think about why you initially became an entrepreneur, techie, developer. Something that always makes me feel better no matter what my work-load or responsibilities is spending some time on a project just for the sake of my own interest. These are NOT money-makers, just rough ideas for anything that truly interests me from a tech standpoint. Like maxdemarzi said, do something to regain confidence, interest in your work, etc. You can't fix all these problems at once.

this was already posted a couple months ago wasn't it?
