Hey, this one's for you.
You starred FluidCalendar on GitHub. I'm the solo dev building it, and I'm putting up 150 lifetime spots to fund the next year of work. Pay once, get everything I'll ever build. No subscription, no upsells.
This offer is invite-only for our GitHub stargazers.
Check your inbox for the email I sent you — it has your personal link to claim a spot. Not a stargazer? You can still get lifetime access at the regular price:

Hey — I'm Emad. I've been building FluidCalendar at nights and on weekends for about a year. It started because I was paying for three different calendar & task tools and none of them did what I actually needed: intelligent scheduling that respects the way my brain works.
The product is open source and it's real — you can read the code, see every commit. But running it costs real money (servers, email infra, Stripe fees, the AI calls that make scheduling work), and right now it's coming out of my pocket.
This is the founder offer that funds the next year of building. You pay once, you get lifetime access to everything I'm building — current features, future premium features, all of it. If at any point in the next 30 days you decide it's not for you, I'll refund you. No forms, no questions.
You starred the repo, which means you saw something here worth paying attention to. I'm hoping you'll back this so I can keep going. Thank you, genuinely.

What you're actually getting
A real product, a real refund policy, and a real person on the other end.
The math is silly
Most calendar+task tools charge $10-20/month. $99 once means you've broken even by year one. Year two and beyond is pure savings.
Every future premium feature, included
Anything I ship — current premium features, future premium features, integrations I haven't built yet — you get it. Forever. No tier upgrades, no add-ons.
Email me directly
I read every message. Tell me what to build, tell me what's broken. That kind of feedback loop is the whole reason a small product can ever beat a big one.
30-day money-back guarantee
Try it. If it doesn't click for you in the first 30 days, email me and I'll refund the whole thing. No forms, no questions, no hard feelings.
You keep this open source
Your purchase funds the next year of development on an open-source product. No VC, no growth-at-all-costs pressure. Just one person building something useful.
Honest answers
›What does "lifetime" actually mean?
For as long as FluidCalendar exists, you have access to it — including any premium features added later. If I ever shut the product down, I'll give 6+ months notice and help you export your data.
›Why a tiered price?
It's a kickstarter-style structure. The first 25 buyers get the cheapest price because early support is the most valuable to me. Once those 25 are gone, the price rises to $149, then $199, then $299. The page shows you the live count.
›What if I already pay for a subscription on FluidCalendar?
Email me at emad@fluidcalendar.com before you buy. I'll cancel and refund your active subscription and apply the lifetime upgrade.
›Is this for real or is this a marketing gimmick?
It's real. I'm a solo developer and the 150 spots fund roughly the next year of full-time work on this. The price climbs because each tier sold lets me commit more time. Once 150 spots are gone, the campaign ends and lifetime returns to the normal $400 price.
›Can I gift this to someone?
Yes — just enter their email at Stripe checkout. They'll get the account-setup email. Email me if you need anything custom.
