I would pay $20 per project for this easily. You did some great work
(from the looks of it anyways) and you should get the financial reward
from it. This isn't a charity, it's a service, and I would treat it as
such. Keep up the awesome!

This seems great. The $20 bothers me, not because I don't want to pay
it, I would gladly donate this meager amount for such a useful
resource. There's just something in poor taste about not making this
open to everyone. And there's an implicit camaraderie and good will
that developer communities have come to expect that makes this paywall
seem weird and unwelcoming. If you framed this as a donation, with
access not contingent on donation, it would be perfectly fine-- and
people might actually use it.

This is a great piece visualization for Clojure and very much how I
think about the language as I'm working with it (based on the pictures
and descriptions). This is a nice niche piece of documentation for
the community, power users, and newly emerging Clojure shops.
Is your freemium model limiting namespaces/content. functionality, or
both?
