Hey @macgreg, while the site explains a bit of why you are going to a subscription model. Can you go a little more in depth. If the current app based version worked well with users, what is the selling point say for someone who uses just a Mac to just move to the built in (while weaker) text shortcuts Apple offers natively?

@zaccoffman Prior to the new TextExpander, there was really no way to share your snippet groups with others. This is a huge new feature. No person is an island. If you share with others who have knowledge or affinity with you, then you'll get tons more value from TextExpander. That sort of value isn't even possible with text shortcuts or other text expansion… See more

@macgreg So, instead of having a "Share" function as an option price raise, it's now for all. I'm interested to see how this pans out. Love the app, won't be upgrading to a subscription myself -- but am interested to see how it pans out.

@macgreg How many people that use TextExpander want to share snippets with others? I'm assuming you did research before making such a big decision? This change essentially forces individual users like myself to never upgrade/use TE. I have no interest or need to share my snippets with anyone else...ever.
