I'm just throwing ideas:

Wouldn't it be a good idea that you make a normal website to convert file format like any others, but the online service serve as an ad for your offline conversion app ?

Also I totally understand not making opensource but marketing your apps as privacy focused but it's closed source is hard to give you trust. I'm not an expert in analyzing apps, I guess people could use wireshark and see that nothing is coming out of your apps.

Sounds good, also I see that FileConverter needs "Microsoft Office installed and activated" and you seem to use LibreOffice, +1 really.

On another note it would be great if you could change how you display those 2077 conversions in your website, I find it really awkward to look at them by scrolling and if my mouse get out of the popup it disappear.

If you can do something "similar" to FileConverter where you can see all of them (at least a lot) on one screen, it helps with doing CTRL + F and searching your file format. :)

Why would I spend $30 (after the beta) for a software that already have a free and open source alternative ?

I think kids will have a hard time learning and being smart with AI chewing everything for them.

I've read a few stories about parents questioning the over-use of AI from their child, adding to that I've seen my fair share of adult who cannot do anything without asking ChatGPT first.

>Isn't game development already discussed here?

ofc sometimes game dev is discussed here, but imo I don't see it enough here that I wouldn't want a hackernews just for gamedev.

Yep it's just an ad disguised as an article.

Lot of them on the internet trying to help user with basics windows things, then they suggest their app as a better alternative.

Get better screenshots on your slideshow, they are all blurry

Also very annoying that the "Enter your username to get started" is misleading" if I enter my username, I cannot get started unless I create an account.. I would change it into "Create an account for free and get started" or something, idk

totally unrelated comment, he spent 3x-5x times is allocated bandwidth of 400GB, it is his fault and should have been more cautious about it
