> There's a chance that folks will buy Font Awesome Pro after the Kickstarter is over, so we're going to try that.
If you are willing to accept a bit more advice: Don't rely on that.
Anyone who would buy that already did, via the kickstarter. Anyone who didn't and wants to, probably won't because they'll feel like their getting a bad deal (obviously some people will buy, but it won't be a lot of people).
So don't rely on that, add something new.

Thanks. I hope you don't feel like I was insulting you, because that was not my intent (although it seems some people thought it was).

We aren't entirely. But we've had 15 million folks on Font Awesome in the past year. Not all of them have seen the Kickstarter, so we're hoping some of them will buy. Other plans too. Definitely not relying solely on this, but we're going to take Font Awesome Pro everywhere we can.
I remember reading somewhere that 8% of what the Kickstarter made per month is somewhat normal. Time will tell though. But it's a good lead for us to try and see what happens.

Agreed.

I'll be honest, it came off a bit gruff. But I've learned that often goes along with folks that know what they're talking about. (And the 20k karma here helps you out too.)
Again, thanks. I take the livelihoods of 4 families seriously. We'll do what we can to keep making things better.
> [people may still buy pro post-KS] [anyone who would do so was in the Kickstarter]
I'll be kicking in $20 after I finish browsing HN, and I could see using Pro in developing for clients then having them get their own license (or doing so as part of the project cost). In fact, that kind of seems to be how it's intended to work.
