How do you handle users who expect your product to be free?

We recently got this message after offering a 50% discount to our beta users:

Only 1 year discount? I expected a lifetime deal as an early supporter

This person used our product completely free for an entire year. Their only support was filling out a short, 30-second form that promised a discount, which we honored. They ve never provided feedback, reported a bug, or engaged with the product beyond that form. Now they re pushing back, saying the discount isn t enough and they expected a lifetime deal. The entitlement has me seeing red.

What are your secret productivity hacks?

Working and being productive aren t the same thing.

We often sit in front of the laptop for hours, but between context switching, notifications, and tiny distractions.... we barely get real work done.

Creative Command - A focus app that holds you hostage until you make progress

Your new accountability partner is now available in the App Store! Creative Command locks you into a focus session and pauses the timer when you go idle, so progress isn’t just possible, it’s inevitable. You can’t run out the clock. You have to do the work.
