It.. sorry.. depends:

In FFmpeg, different components are covered by different licenses, primarily the LGPL (Lesser General Public License) and GPL (General Public License). Understanding which parts fall under which license is key for compliance. Here’s a more straightforward explanation:

LGPL Parts:

• Core FFmpeg Libraries: Most of FFmpeg’s core libraries, such as libavformat, libavcodec, and libavutil, are licensed under the LGPL. This means you can use these libraries in your closed-source application if you dynamically link them and follow LGPL requirements (e.g., providing attribution).
• Basic Codecs and Filters: Many standard audio and video codecs, as well as basic processing filters, fall under the LGPL. This allows you to use these components in commercial, closed-source applications with the right linking.

GPL Parts:

• Specific Codecs and Features: Some codecs, filters, or additional features in FFmpeg are licensed under the GPL. Using these parts means your entire application must be open-sourced under the GPL. Notable examples include certain high-quality encoders or advanced filters that aren’t under LGPL.
• GPL-Only Features: Features such as libx264 (for H.264 video encoding) and libx265 (for H.265/HEVC encoding) are under the GPL. If you include these in your build, your software is subject to GPL terms.

Plain Explanation:

Think of FFmpeg like a toolbox:

• The basic tools (core libraries, common codecs) are licensed under the LGPL. You can use them in your closed-source project as long as you follow the LGPL rules, like dynamic linking and attribution.
• Specialized, advanced tools (certain encoders, filters) are licensed under the GPL. If you decide to use any of these advanced tools, you must open-source your entire application under the GPL.

How to Check:

• Configuration Flags: When building FFmpeg, you can specify --enable-gpl or --disable-gpl to control whether GPL parts are included.
• Official Documentation: The FFmpeg documentation and source code headers clearly indicate which parts are under GPL or LGPL. You can find this by checking the specific codec or filter in the source code to see its license header.

Summary:

• LGPL parts: Core libraries and many basic components.
• GPL parts: Advanced codecs and filters (e.g., libx264, libx265).

My advice: either compile with setting / check what parts you use. If LGPL you can add, else keep out of your project and use it like Martijn said

I have multiple email accounts and domains, and I've come to like Spark; Using the free tier, and using its mobile app and MacOS variant.

It has one login that will give you access to all inboxes, maps etc. Also nice and easy switching between "regular viewing" and "smart views" that show your mail more organized.

Snoozing mails and planning mail sending is also very nice (send stuff in the morning to prevent people from thinking you respond at evenings also).

Main KPI's (like MMR, verified accounts, active users,..), referral codes? ad space sales ?

I chose Paddle for obvious MoR (ease-of-use tax-wise) reasons, but their support is quite fast, which is another reason for me to recommend them.

Not having any transfer situation (yet), but positive they'll be a good choice based on stuff I see on the internet.

Visualisation looks kinda cool. I find the logo somewhat aggressive (looks military to me at first glance). Lot of info; I used Gemini to help me figure out what it does:

prompt:
can you ELIF this product: m0ve.app/
answer:
Imagine a website that makes planning events of any size super easy. This is Move. Instead of complicated tools, Move lets you create an event page, invite people, sell tickets (if needed), and manage everything in one place. It's like having a super-organized assistant for your next party, workshop, or even family reunion!

prompt2:
what are the core features of the product and what kind of product is it?
answer2:
Move is an event management platform. Here are its core features:

Create event pages:
Design a page with details about your event, like description, schedule, and location.
Manage invitations: Easily invite people and track who has RSVP'd.
Sell tickets (optional): If your event has a cost, Move lets you sell tickets and manage payments.
Centralized organization: Keep track of everything related to your event in one place.
Overall, Move helps you streamline the event planning process, from inviting guests to managing tickets.

If this is not aligned with what you want it to be, change your copy. IMO: I found the answers more satisfactory than the info on the page (which makes me think your product does more than "one thing". My $0.02: Either make different landings if there are multi aspects or break them down in shorter copy

When you write the helpful evergreen content that @marc indicates, you can also share that on Reddit. Reddit is relentless and does often brutally remove any self-promoting/promotional content.
Helping people there and setting your product in your profile is okay.

Then again; I think the effort on SEO is "less quick" but a better way to go. Start today and be consistent at writing content. As soon as your content is "known" by the SEO machines you'll see traction grow :)

Use it as a "solid pillar" in your marketing mix and try other things besides that.

If those don't show people where to sign up, I'm not sure what will 😅

Very nice @Baadier! Clear language, CTA button which shows why I should sign up. It shows the value your service gives me.

I think this is a neat version 👌🏻

The new design looks more clean and too the point. IMHO that's more in line with the value your solution provides : les bs more time saved to focus on finding your next living place.

The live site has a lot of redundant text, especially mentioning "all in one place" multiple times. And variations on that.

Cut those thinga down to the value that the features provide: centralized notes on properties, easy reviewing and debating with your partner, etc.

Regarding the new design:.
- state a call to action instead of the email buttons current text
- the with / without points will look easier I'd they're closer side by side
- it's unclear if you're integrating property listing websites that are listed as logos or if I can add references to properties on whatever site
- focus on showing value; how you save me time, prevent stress by improving communication / the experience, etc. That way I don't have to translate your features into those benefits in my head.
- do I need to pay a subscription or onetime fee? I'll probably need this app for a fixed period and then I'll be done for years to come.
- what steps would need to be taken on a high level when I start using Jonga? Ie: decide what's important and setup a checklist for that, then view properties and.. Etc

Hope this helps you to set the right tone and get the copy going for your target audience 💪🏻🤙

Thanks for all the actionable info! I'll get on it :)

I've made some changes. Hopefully there is some improvement.

Very nice @Baadier! Clear language, CTA button which shows why I should sign up. It shows the value your service gives me.

Thanks for your feedback Helene. You're right. Since I wasn't allowed I had to put the link somewhere, going in depth about why It wasn't given green light by Apple. I like the coming soon notification and the email collection idea, will go and change this.

Thanks for taking a look and giving me your tips 🙌🏻
