Dad Reply v1.5.0 Pro Trial Edition releases next week.

👋 Hey, Dad's back!

I said I was popping out for some cigarettes and a paper some time ago, but it was no abandon. The queue at the shop was massive. And of course being British, I wasn't going to leave it. So with a copy of last month's paper under my arm, and a freshly lit hot stick perched between my lips. I am here.

With that I am happy to say, unless I completely shit the bed, that next week v1.5.0 Pro Trial Edition will be launching. OW OW.

But Daaaad why aren't you just launching?

I got you. As a little treat (and because you're bloody legends) you're getting this news early. I do plan to put up a little pre-launch, or whatever they call it. But I plan to release the extension before that actually happens (it should just update the version you have).

So, here's what I need you to do. Go grab the current version. No seriously v1.0 (though I am confident that you already have it). That way as soon as I pull the trigger (I mean metaphorically) you'll have the latest version. And dare I say be the envy of all who see you using it.

Just a quick reminder of what to expect.

• Skin tone selection.

• Custom emoji options (3 for now).

• All via a settings page. Oooooooooo.

• via Dad Reply branding (yeah, about that, it's non-obtrusive, tiny in fact. And you can remove it after the trial, if you're willing to front the coin.)

Shit I thought there was more than that. Wait no, that's good. You would be surprised how much of an improvement the experience is.

Now, about the pricing.

Like with most things, I was hesitant about charging for this. But doing the maths (or math), with the amount of time I have spent on this, if I charged a nominal one time fee of say $10, I would need to sell 1000s of licences to break even. And as much as I enjoy eating beans from a can with a rusty fork, I don't want to become malnourished. So here's the breakdown.

Yearly subscription - $29.99

Monthly subscription - $2.99

But wait for it…early bird pricing…

Yearly subscription - $19.99 - 33% off (forever, well until I die, or we all die).

Now I am going to do that psychological trick of showing how that breaks down. For less than $3 a month ($1.50 with early bird discount), I am saving you the absolute nightmare of having to reply to those types of emails. You know. Those ones that are like "Hey, how are you doing? Did you have a nice weekend?… continue with actual request", to which you have to, have to start your reply with the same bullshit rhetoric.

I mean to be honest it's a no brainer. You should be paying me more.

TLDR;

• Dad Reply v1.5.0 Pro Trial Edition launches next week.

• All Pro features available, with "via dad reply" branding (can remove with subscription after trial).

• Install current version now, it will auto-update to v1.5.0 before the initial launch.

• Early bird pricing offer $19.99 per year (in exchange for your email address, get a code when trial ends).

I'll leave it there, I've got to keep hydrated as I sweat profusely to get this thing done. So here have a Dad hug, not too tight, slightly awkward, and with multiple pats on the back.

See you in the comments, you know what to do. 👍
