To celebrate the launch of version 1.0 on September 1, 2021, Shrestha Files Pro was free for a limited time: a one-time promotion with a 100% discount, which started a little before the launch to build up excitement. On September 22, Microsoft held an event to show its new devices, and @AppsJpt tweeted about the offer with the #MicrosoftEvent hashtag.
Scott Hanselman, one of the best-known voices in Microsoft’s developer community, retweeted it to his followers and also shared it in his own words:
It came at a good time: version 1.4, which rolled up the beta updates since 1.0, had just gone out to everyone. For an independent app, a recommendation like that, from someone so many Windows developers follow, means a lot.
Thank you, Scott, and thank you to everyone who picked up the app that day and stuck around.
The free offer was a one-time promotion. Today’s version of the app is S Files Pro X.
