I'd pay you and you're not charging me...

Simple doesn't have to be free, I'd gladly pay 5 bucks a month to have this, so why not start charging?

I pay $10 a month to use a cell phone, and you'd happily pay $5 for a keyboard shortcut?

i agree nice service, but not chargeable ....

I agree. It's not monetizable in its current state, but I'm curious what features you think would get it closer, such as:

* more rich replacement (including functions/regex) * dynamic content like stock prices * ability to chain expansions quasi-recursively * SSL / privacy

As a reference point, TextExpander (http://www.smileonmymac.com/TextExpander/) is an OS X app that offers similar functionality, and it's $30.
