@secondtimelucky Well in theory everything is a free feature on Mastodon. 🙂 We aren't selling basic tools. We are selling an app experience. Most apps will do the same basic things people need to use Mastodon. But some people want more than that. Building an app that uses the Mastadon API isn't that hard. But building one with great performance, beautiful design, and a good UX is not easy. We aren't in the business to sell features alone.
