 Hi, Iam Klaus Breyer. And I am the author of unixtime.app: An API developers tool for bulk timestamp conversion.

 - At some point, I decided to add syntax highlighting for JSON because I guessed this is what most of the payload would be.
 - After everything was proven to work, I decided to release the product as a proper application for Mac and Windows.
 - After downloads were not picking up and the price was too low for advertising, I decided to make it Open Source.

+## Update: Open Source
+
+I am excited to announce that my app, [unixtime.app](https://www.unixtime.app), is now (2023-03-24) fully available for free in the web! This means that anyone can use it without any cost. I have made this decision because since the app was launched in the app stores, it did not generate enough revenue to cover the cost of the Apple Developer account.
+
+Although the app has a small but smart feature set, it cannot be priced high enough to justify a marketing campaign. Therefore, I decided to make the best of the situation and offer the tool to everyone for free. This way, everyone can use it without any limitations, and I hope it can help people in their work and daily lives.
+
+Additionally, I believe that offering [unixtime.app](https://www.unixtime.app) for free will allow me to receive valuable feedback and suggestions from the community. This feedback will help me make the app even better in the future.
+
+I want to thank everyone who has already downloaded and used the app, and I look forward to seeing how the community can help improve it.
