hey, not to give you "armchair" advice, but I feel like a tool that's existed for 11 years and has 11k daily users is a super serious achievement.

I'd vicariously love for you to be able to make some/more revenue with this!

+1 on @redox99's comment that charging in rubles is most probably confusing, and that a flat $10 usd/month would be easier. I also would think that renewal should actually be on by default, not off - if people want the service and/or to support you, having auto renewal off is more of a hassle for them (the customers who want to pay you!) as they'd have to have to... re-enable their service? every 30-90 days?

and another point I wanted to bring up is that it feels to me like a small text-based advertisement from ethicalads.io (the folks behind the ads on Read the Docs sites) or carbonads.net (btw I have no affiliation to either) could definitely... bring in some not-bad revenue pretty much immediately?

again, huge congrats on your project and I truly wish you'll be able to find some path to monetization. cheers!

Thank you. I have been considering various monetization approaches, evaluating their convenience and potential demand. Unfortunately, certain external factors currently prevent me from implementing everything as I would like. However, I still have several ideas that I hope will be engaging, in demand, and easy to pay for.

As a Brit, I'd rather GBP...

Isn't this comment a form of US defaultism?

It's weird you show the price in some currency I don't even know what it is (even if it says 10 dollars small next to it).

Just show and charge 10 USD. You can localize that other currency (Rubles?) if GeoIP matches.

It's possible the local legislation disallows charging in non-local currency. Eg. can you charge in rubles in USA?

Thanks for sharing. Still valuable for me in any interview if someone says they kept a service up for 11 years. Shows determination.
