[MlMt] Crowd funding campaign launched

[CSS]

I'm a regular reader of ArsTechnica, and I've sent them a quick message asking for some coverage of your campaign.  I don't have any real pull with them, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.  They've run stories on much more niche Mac apps before…

Thanks,

Charles

This requires a minimum of 6 months of 2014 and therefore I've set the initial fixed goal to $25,000. A fixed goal means that I get nothing if the goal is not reached. Anything beyond $25,000 increases the period I am guaranteed to work full time on MailMate. The exact period depends on the regular daily sales, but an estimate based on 2013 is an additional month for every $5,000.
