Why Boot .dev is not free

by Lane Wagner

Why Boot.dev is Not Completely Free

A few days ago I received an email regarding Boot.dev where the sender informed me: I am ideologically opposed to charging people for online education. I mean fair enough right? I certainly understand this viewpoint, and perhaps I even ideologically agree. That said, let me explain why Boot.dev isn’t completely free - though quite a bit of it is free. The lifeblood of a good learning platform is ongoing development My current goal with Boot.

blog.boot.dev

I think IndieHackers will understand where I'm coming from, at least that's the hope! Most of my customers understand as well, at least once they get to know me and the business.

    I used to have similar views however i have changed my mind. Now my opinion is you should charge some amount otherwise it will not be valued by the user.
