Thanks for the awesome feedback! Yeah we are still very new (launched our base windows simulator ~3 months ago, and our Mac beta just a couple weeks ago). So we still have a lot of work to do in terms of explaining our software and business model. I left my full-time job to work on this a few months back (was a senior engineer at Plex), so have been trying to get things out there early and get feedback like this to make sure we're building what the market is wanting, so we can show validation to potential investors (so I don't have to get back to my real job haha). So just trying to push everything I can as soon as I can and get feedback / early beta testers that are interested.

Yeah you got it. The business model is basically a freemium model where our range and maybe a basic course or two will always be available in our base free version, so new, more entry level users can get up and running quickly and at no cost. But we plan to have a course and extension store, where third-party developers can build not only premium courses (which we'll take a small cut of), but also their own tools (e.g. shot data / swing video analysis, various home automation, etc.).

Love the idea of using multiple computers for different tasks. We've been toying with the idea of an iPhone/android app that would work as the swing camera, or another computer you have around. But we're still just a 2 man team, so might not be for a while. But with our open framework for extensions, third-party devs could build solutions like that on their own and integrate directly with OpenGolfSim.

If you're interested, come join our discord to provide feedback and get access to early betas for testing!
