Indie app devs, what's your policy on people asking for 'codes' (they mean free or discounted copies). I've had a number of messages on Reddit, some of which seem more reasonable than others.
Do you guys have a blanket policy (eg “I don't do it", “I’ll give discount codes but not free copies", etc)?
@amyworrall The issue with some subreddits, is that’s kind of expected.
Still didn’t do it, but not surprising they’re asking.
I occasionally post promo codes here, not often, and I would not be against giving out a few copies if it build good will and makes the conversation around the app going, but I’d really look into who’s coming from.
@amyworrall @cdf1982 Didn’t Connect have a “take purchasing power into account” setting?
As for the faculty member, since Octavo already works as a demo, then that’s all they need to show it to faculty.
Don’t give out codes to randos 🙃
