Hi Quentin, I have a few questions regarding the recent update: 1. Why was the LTD agreement with AppSumo users discontinued after being honored for over two years? 2. Were any alternative solutions considered to keep loyal users onboard without requiring a new payment? 3. Is the decision final, or is there a chance of partial access or feature limitations for LTD accounts? 4. How has the team evaluated the impact of this change on the AppSumo community and Notice’s long-term reputation?
5. Will AppSumo issue an official statement regarding this breach of the LTD agreement with buyers?
1. Why was the LTD agreement with AppSumo users discontinued after being honored for over two years?
Notice is a 0 employee company running at a loss at the moment. The overheads (basically servers and some apis) are exceeding the revenues. We need to find some sustainable way of running it or we will close the app.
2. Were any alternative solutions considered to keep loyal users onboard without requiring a new payment?
The issue is not only a solution issue, it's that all of that takes time and developers time (which is expensive). It was the most straightforward way to "save" the product.
3. Is the decision final, or is there a chance of partial access or feature limitations for LTD accounts?
The decision is final.
4. How has the team evaluated the impact of this change on the AppSumo community and Notice’s long-term reputation?
I know, following many emails I received, that users seem to think Notice is some sort of giant of the web. Notice is a 0 employee SaaS that did not succeed, the only reason it is still running it's because there's still usage, my dad is using it, and I just could not turn off the switch on 4 years of hard work. I love the product, a lot of free users love it, sadly people that have money seem to not be very interested.
5. Will AppSumo issue an official statement regarding this breach of the LTD agreement with buyers?
I don't know, there's a paradox. The best way for me would be to kill the product, and there will be no breach as the product will not exist anymore. But the best way for the current users is that we find a solution together, it's breaching the contract, but at the same time it's the proper thing to do.
I will let the community know how it went in a few weeks, if we're not sustainable I will shut down the product anyway (with proper notice so everybody can get their data)
Some past LTD deals that didn’t succeed financially still found a respectful solution by releasing the source code.
Would you consider turning Notice into a licensed, self-hosted solution—where LTD buyers receive a personal license key along with the installable system? This way, those who paid get what was promised: a lifetime license for personal use, without ongoing costs for your infrastructu
Hello, if the current solution does not work I will open the code, some of it is already open: https://github.com/orgs/notice-github/repositories
Notice is a micro-service app, you need one PSQL, one MongoDB, and 4-5 dockers apps to run it. Writing the documentation to start it is already days of work. I am afraid nobody will use it anyway. It's not a neatly easy to deploy app.
Q: Hi
I have sent in inquiry to chat but no reply.
Please help on 1) why is the translation not working? 2) how to expand the page?
It would be great to have a SubPage - Library. I like to recommend books on my site and this is exactly the kind of subpage I would love to have. A picture, author name, ISBN, category, affiliate link to the bookseller, a brief synopsis and then a space for my comments on the book. It would be great if there were also stars (ratings).
Did you check already our HTML integration? In case no, you can find it on the Integrations tab, on the top bar inside the app. Besides HTML and its details, you will find other solutions as well.
In around one month, we're delivering a new service - renderer V2 - that will allow access with an API to get real-time HTML published data.

Q: Seriously, when are we gonna be able to export our content to host it ourselves?
Just a plain and simple HTML + Media download.
I can't have pages that are not hosted on mine or my customers data centers.
On top of that we have backups of our content.

I don't understand.
Why you telling me.about the integrations tab?
How do I do any of the things I mentioned with it?
How.do.I backup the website?
How do I move.it to my server?
How will the API work? I also don't get the point of needing an API to fetch HTML.
I need to.code an app to fetch just the html.and still miss the other files?
I need 1 button to export the pages with media, css and html.
Not code an app.to fetch just html, that I can already do on any browser by checking the source code.
