Is it Bluebird or Twitter.now?

I sense some issues incoming if the latter.

Also why ask for money immediately?

Probably to fund their lawyers. Also not a bad idea asking for money, keeps bots and spammers away.

In the case of .now it is under Amazon Registry Services, so it is pretty straightforward to cause legal troubles.

But if creator would be a little bit more forward thinking, then they would have created domain somewhere where US can't really reach and then good luck. Just look on anna's archive - .se, .org, .li

You're right, the market is flooded with simple "button grid" apps. That saturation is actually why I built FlowPDF.

I didn't want another list of basic tools; I wanted to chain them. I built a node-based editor so you can create actual pipelines (Merge -> OCR -> Filter -> Compress) rather than just doing one-off tasks.

I think that's the only way to actually add value over the 50 other "Hello World" clones.
