I’d love to understand the genesis of this. was it founded because it was particularly challenging to give feedback to designers on screenshots, and what was the issue with existing tools?

This is incisive. I share the view that I could charge more on #2, particularly when businesses are the ones paying rather than individuals. Agree this is probably a pretty small market.

But I’m not sure how to do price differentiation when the scope for product differentiation seems limited (it’s a fixed feature set replicating alt shortcuts). I’ve mainly given discounts to students who write in.

Appreciate the other comment suggesting expanding this beyond Alt shortcuts - that could be one avenue.

I made Accelerator Keys, a little Mac app that gives people Alt key shortcuts in Office software on Macs.

Most people have never encountered the problem, so it’s hard to talk about this in general company.

But it’s solving a pain point for a few hundred finance/consulting folks with Macs, or tech startups buying Macs for their finance/strategy teams.

Haven’t worked on this as much since kids came, but I’d love to figure out better ways to get this in front of people who need it.
