It was hard decision, but the voluntary donation system didn't work. I like developing Software Ideas Modeler and have a lot of ideas how to improve it even more. The problem is, how to get money... The last months I was developing daily 8-9 hours in my full-time job, 6-8 hours the SIM. I think it can't be sustainable for long. And moreover I think that price is not so high - only $7.50 (€5.75) per month, what is less than one programmer earns per hour.
I don't know now, whether it was bad or good decision, time will tell. Maybe there will be more editions in the future - one free for everyone, one payed.
