[Feature Request]: Support for Lifetime Subscriptions #535

Open JunerLee opened 1 month ago

JunerLee commented 1 month ago

Description:

I'm a fans of wallos and really value its functionality. However, I've noticed that it currently does not support the addition of lifetime subscriptions, which limits the overall utility for those of us who have such subscriptions.

Request:

I kindly request the consideration of adding a feature to manage lifetime subscriptions. This enhancement would not only provide a more comprehensive subscription management experience but also cater to a broader range of users who have invested in lifetime services.

Having this feature would allow users to keep all their subscriptions organized in one place, increasing the software's value and appeal.

Thank you for considering this request.

What would you expect with lifetime subscriptions?

I would say that if your subscription doesnt have an end date, just don't set a cancellation date. If it was a 1-time payment for a lifetime subscription, I think it goes outside the scope of this project (IMHO).

I am puzzled as well why? Lifetime subscription is 1 time purchase not real recurring subscription, therefore no need for it and out of scope

Although lifetime purchase software no longer requires payment, it is still one of my digital assets. Having it managed by this software allows me to clearly see how many subscriptions I have bought, some of which I may have purchased long ago and forgotten about. By recording these, I can be more aware of my purchases and perhaps avoid impulsive spending next time. I use it to manage my digital assets.@ewoks

This software is not meant to be digital assets repository! The purpose is tracking recurring expenses, so you don't miss a re-subscription deadline, you can cancel on time and you see how much do you spend month after month... One time payments do not fit into scope of that. Sorry @JunerLee imo this "issue" just makes a distraction from the main purpose of software and no developer should spend time on it over many other important tickets..
