Well, that’s how it usually goes. You can’t go $0 to $20K if it was quick and easy. Doctors, lawyers, accountants... welders, electricians, all spend years of education and apprenticeship to make money.
The good part i think is him partially monetizing his work. Free theme still available.
Which is pretty realistic as far as these things go. 10 years experience is what it takes to really understand most things enough to do your own thing successfully with it.
That's what gets left out of a lot of these kind of things and success stories in general, the multiple years of experience behind them that usually remains unmentioned but it's probably just as important, if not more important that the actual work done for the success.
This is not surprising. The average entrepreneur is actually 40 years old when launching his or her first startup--and the average age of leaders of high-growth startups is 45 years old.
As a non-sales person I find it hard to believe anyone would spend $49 for something that is only very slightly different than dozens other high quality and free solutions.
But apparently people did.
And that’s why I didn’t make $20,145.92 in 2 months.
I found this claim on the Dracula site interesting: "By having the same color scheme across multiple apps, you reduce the time it takes to switch context between tasks."
Mightn't it be easier to context switch between environments that differ more? E.g. your work email in Outlook vs your personal Gmail?

For another example, look at Monokai which also released a paid “Pro” version. https://monokai.pro
"It took me a while to realize that money is not evil, money is oxygen."
No, money is like food: you need it to survive, but when it becomes your reason for existing, that's pretty sad.
