Launch HN: Termius (YC W19) – SSH client that works on desktop and mobile
Can I just vent on how extremely annoyed I am about normal bits of software, that aren't even genuinely a service, being priced on a subscription basis at ridiculous price levels?<p>5$ per month is $300 over a five-year time period, which might be the lifetime of, say, a newly bought laptop computer.  Now imagine you're at an electronics store, looking at laptops, and there are two identical laptops sitting in front of you.  One has a pricetag that says $1000.  The other has a price-tag that says $1300.  You ask the sales clerk: "What's the difference between those two?"  The sales clerk answers: "This one comes with a piece of software that lets you SSH into remote machines."  You answer: "But there's free software to do that."  The sales clerk goes.  "Well... But it's colorful and shit."  Seriously?
