Absolute legend

I'm from paradise. We counted ~83 crosses on the outside of town just a few weeks after, and they were all named, iirc. So there's absolutely more than that. Paradise was 25,000 and at one point, I delivered pizzas. I found areas of paradise I had no idea existed and I had lived there since I was in 5th grade.

I might have a picture of those crosses in my Google photos. Gimme a sec.

Here's a 5 min video I took of each of them: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cWRoi6mD5ymbMRKM6

Quick 9 second pan of all of them: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qaNs6iipANAwWJr79

From the developer's point of view, subscription makes more sense as people benefit from continual development and updates, and the dev continually gets paid for their time.

I paid $1 or $2 for sync pro like 9 years ago and back then, it took a lot to get me to pay for apps. The more I use the app, the more I got for my money per hour spent using the all. But the more work the dev did after he got my money, the less he gets paid for his labor, per hour.

Nowadays, $1-2 feels like a steal for an app, especially for a one time payment. I haven't paid for ad-free or ultra yet, but I intend to because he's shown a long history of listening to his user base and updating/fixing things in a timely manner, which that type of service also is something I value as a customer, even if it isn't a tangible benefit.
