The GitHub page says you're going to be offering a hosted version through Pico. May I ask about why you went with Pico (which I'm just learning about through your page)?

Pico only offers 30% of revenue (half the usual app store 60% cut) AND, as I read it, it only pays out if a formerly free user signs up after trying your app (no payment for use by other users already on the platform, so you get no benefits from their having an installed base of existing users).

Those seem like much worse terms and a much smaller user base than a more traditional platform, hence my curiosity on why you chose it.



I am the maker of Pico :) What I meant was these features were going to be integrated into Pico.

Also, Pico is a general web app building platform. The 30% revenue part is only for affiliates, not for any in-app payments (which Pico doesn't yet support).
