Originally launched as a store with $20 one-time purchases, no sales occurred in the first week. The decision to go free removes friction for both creator and users — Copes can release small tools without the pressure of justifying a price, and users can freely download, study, and modify the source code. Each project still includes full source code, tests, documentation, and instructions for coding agents. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
