21 dollars a month, it must be an incredible app with the equivalent features of photoshop, or else it doesn’t matter anyway, no one will subscribe…

Remember when you used to just buy software, own and use it, not rent it monthly Pepperidge Farm remembers

When it was first measured, Mt. Everest was 29,000 ft high, the survey team added a couple of extra feet for the same reason.

They made vacuum cleaners louder on purpose because people thought the silent ones aren’t powerful enough. So I know what you mean.

This makes total sense to me, people are stupid, don't underestimate the power of stupidity

Name of the app?

I fcking knew it the moment I revived my Pentium II machine. It had win 98 and old hard drive, but Word opened in two seconds. On Ryzen 7, W11 and NVMe it takes up to ten.

Make it browser based. Photopea ftw!

Depends on customer segmentation. If you develop for morons sure, if you develop for people who care about the feature they don’t care about the size but the solution. Probably your managers do not have a good customer segmentation.

ever used an app that writes an image file to usb stick? that's less than five lines of code. literally just read and write in a loop. with a lot of eye candy built around it. and (some) people pay for it *shrugs*

Who started the subscription model for software ? Damn you

You should release this 30mb for 30$ a month and call it "performance" or something like that, make it a selling point.

I'm no programmer, but I understand image editing software in essence just has a ton of math formulas describing how a bunch of pixels in this area must altered, to what color, with what intensity, etc. It's different sorts of libraries of effects, textures, rasters that take space.

let me guess, photoshop ? cause portable version was like 60mb and installed version was like few gb

F.ck, they are right.

I’d believe that, and truth be told the managers might be right about what customers would think.

common sense has been lost in 2020 already. deal with it

Sadly, it's true. The first instinct is that if it's taking up a lot of space, it must have a lot of features. Sometimes, you need to sacrifice efficiency on the altar of perceptions.

Fuck you and fuck those who buy it. This world must burn
