I have been reading your blog for some time now and have found it helpful.
I have recently become interested in automating tasks and now I want to get zerowork and taskmagic.
So about zerowork, is there any chance it will be back this year for apsumo's Black Friday?
It looks like taskmagic is still available on the official website, but zerowork doesn't seem to have a buy-out plan.
I searched the web and found that it is sold on a different site, but does it look like a scam?
The site is called shiny.lifetimedeal.tech, although I won't list it all because it seems to get deleted if I include the URL.
I am afraid this is not the kind of question I would ask here, but I would appreciate it if you could respond as best you can.
I'm looking forward to working with you.
Thank you for your question.
First, regarding ZeroWork, it is possible that it will return for the Black Friday event in November.
In fact, ZeroWork seems to have had good results at its launch at AppSumo.
The quality of the product is good, so it is possible that the product will be re-released again because of its high reputation at AppSumo.
Please note, however, that it is not a sure thing.
ZeroWork is not currently available for purchase.
The URL you mentioned appears to be a resale (a buyer at AppSumo is secretly reselling it at a higher price).
There are many people reselling in Facebook groups and other places.
Some of them are often scam artists, and in some cases they become unusable months after the fees have been paid.
Safety is unknown, but I would not recommend it.
It is solely at your own risk.
Thank you for your response!
Yes, sir.
I hope they come back on Black Friday.
