Sami's explicit decisions:
- Free is completely free — no Pro trial, no time-limited upsells.
Pro is a deliberate paid choice. Update pricing language in
PRODUCT-SPEC-DECISIONS.md so anyone reading it doesn't assume
there's a hidden trial period.
- Lifetime keys are creator-only (Sami runs license-keygen.js
--lifetime on his dev machine; the API rejects LIFETIME codes
at verifyCode time). No paid customer can ever buy or receive
a lifetime key — they get 30/90/180/365-day keys. Update both
PRODUCT-SPEC-DECISIONS.md and DC-052 in BACKLOG.md to spell
this out so the Stripe webhook (DC-054) doesn't accidentally
generate a LIFETIME for a buyer.
Captures the 14 product-spec decisions locked today with Sami:
- Time-based pricing: 30/90/180/365 day tiers at $20/$50/$70/$99
- Free = up to 3 users, Pro = unlimited
- Free = local-only; Pro adds Tailscale-mediated share + public share links
- Stripe Checkout, USD-only, optional dashcaddy.net account
- LIFETIME keys are creator-only (no public exposure)
- Use existing license-keygen, no new auth system
- Invitees MUST use email magic link (email = identity for non-host users)
BACKLOG gets 5 new build tickets:
- DC-052: License-tier enforcement (cap Free at 3 users, gate share on Pro)
- DC-053: Public + Tailscale-mediated share routes (the killer Pro feature)
- DC-054: Stripe webhook bridge for auto-issuing license keys
- DC-055: dashcaddy.net/pricing page + Stripe Checkout
- DC-056: ToS + Privacy Policy pages (GDPR-aware)
No code changes — pure planning artifacts. Code work begins next.
