vibe42 founder on charging when rivals are free: low latency, native mobile terminal, 1,000-user goal

vibe42 founder xiangyuli answers "why pay when rivals are free" with differentiators: tens-of-ms latency, mandatory end-to-end encryption, a fully native terminal on phones that never pollutes your local dev environment, remote desktop support, and even Mac trackpad gesture adaptation for small screens.
He admits he was wrong to pitch specs instead of scenarios, and now aims to find 1,000 like-minded paying users by end of November while polishing vibe42 into the best ADE product.
