As it seems that here is a/the dash developer: how much will it be in the future? It's free now, but (AFAIUI) it will be a paid software once it leaves beta!? Can someone explain?

Dash will switch to paid-for in the next update. Basically Dash will get an evil annoying twin, Pinky, in the form of a red bottom banner (see https://p.twimg.com/AsxsSE4CQAEUG7S.png:large). The removal of Pinky will cost $30, using an In-App Purchase. And yes, I'm the only developer behind Dash :)

That's not too annoying. I could probably continue to use it for free without going crazy with a small nag like that.

And that's why I'll be paying for it, because you're not making it annoying in the first place. :)
