Lispr has been free for everyone since launch. It now runs on two plans, and the way we split them says more about the product than the prices do.

The standard move with a free tier is to cut features. English only. Three languages instead of thirty. The formatting held back as the thing you pay for. The free version gets built to be annoying enough that you upgrade.

A few of you installed him on launch day and never touched him since. That's the point, but he's changed since then. Right click the plant, "Update", done.

What's new:

• He updates himself now.

• You can offer him to someone, with a note inside. Right click, "Offer a cutting". They get a link, the note opens when their plant sprouts.

• Fixed: when the plant ends up off screen, he comes back to the middle.

• Fixed: you can now park the plant against the edge, or slightly off screen, so he takes less room. The bubble follows him.

  If yours already says 0.2.15, you're good. Go pick who gets the first cutting.

I d love to share a few things I figured out while preparing our Product Hunt launch - and I'd love for experienced makers and hunters to add their own advice.

Here s what I learned:

If possible, include real people even briefly. Seeing the makers behind a product can create more trust and connection.
