The exact number is around 1.25X. 125% more downloads than in three years total. Not surprised at all.
Vesper has had more downloads since Sunday (when it went free, and was announced EOL) than it did in 3+ years as a paid app.

@gruber 1.25X (times) the paid number, or 125% greater than (i.e., 2.25X the paid number) ? -
@iamnirav 1.25x the paid downloads number. I’m terrible with %, and should just stick to x factor.

@gruber sounds like you had the wrong business model -
@gruber Fuck! Just read blog post. Tragic, brutal. Vesper is the Sonic Youth of notes apps. Heres some virtual sympathy bucks

@functionalJeff Very kind compliment. Thanks.

@davcarrington Correct. Like I wrote, not a complex story.

@gruber Chicken/egg. I was waiting for it to be on Mac before adopting. Sorry it didn’t work out, but it was a gorgeous app. -
@unmodisch Perfectly reasonable.
