A fixed goal means that I get nothing if the goal is not reached. Anything beyond $25,000 increases the period I am guaranteed to work full time on MailMate. The exact period depends on daily sales, but a rough estimate is an additional month for every $5,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macstories.net\/news\/mailmate-developer-launches-crowdfunding-campaign-for-mailmate-2-0\/\">Federico Viticci<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"http:\/\/www.macstories.net\/news\/mailmate-developer-launches-crowdfunding-campaign-for-mailmate-2-0\/\"><p>Making email clients is hard, time-consuming, and expensive. Apple&rsquo;s Mail app hasn&rsquo;t brought many additions for power users in the past few years, prioritizing consistency with its iOS counterparts over features like keyboard shortcuts, filters, and AppleScript. While that&rsquo;s reasonable for Apple, there&rsquo;s a subset of users who would like to see more productivity-driven enhancements in their email client, and I think that <a href=\"http:\/\/freron.com\" target=\"_blank\">MailMate<\/a>&nbsp;already makes for a great replacement to Mail.app.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Update (2013-11-18): <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.freron.com\/2013\/primary-crowd-funding-goal-reached\/\">Benny Kj&aelig;r Nielsen<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"http:\/\/blog.freron.com\/2013\/primary-crowd-funding-goal-reached\/\"><p>Over the weekend the crowd funding campaign reached its primary goal of $25,000 and it has since increased to more than $27,000.
