Seeing many people asking for codes everywhere, even affecting the normal operation of other forums (I apologize for that), and there are scalpers as well; it's rare to see such a situation with software.
Looking at @diygod's journey from rsshub to xlog and then to follow, the technology is sufficient, and the person is friendly. They haven't really marketed much, relying almost entirely on word of mouth (the only memorable event was xlog's initial giveaway of MIRA, but it didn't seem to gain much traction).
As my experience grows, I increasingly feel that good technology is just a ticket to entry (based on everyone's user experience, follow is already quite good), understanding marketing is the core of a product's vitality. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was this time, but they deserve a pat on the back.
I recall many programs I have created, with content rich in substance, but I didn't put much effort into refining details and promotion. The result was that even good wine fears a deep alley; I need to pay attention to this in the future.
Finally, I wish for an early public beta, or for me to find a reliable code soon (if the official sells it, I'm completely willing to buy, but buying from scalpers always feels like it's unfair to outsiders).
