I limited to US & Canada only because the text in the app is only in English. I have to setup localization in order to get it properly translated for countries where English is not a primary language. I do plan to add support this in the future, but can't give an exact estimate right now.
You’re on HN. Everyone here understands English to a degree. It is very common for people in countries where English is not the primary language to be able to speak it fluently.
You just presented your app to a bunch of people who can’t see it and who will never bother to give it a second look. In other words, you’re losing a significant number of potential customers for no gain. Those people will in turn not upvote this submission, further restricting your reach even to those who can use it.
Waiting for doing localisation before launching to other countries is the first big mistake. The second is, as long as you’re restricting the audience, not having a website where other people can see the app to give them a reason to check back later.
Plenty of apps are available in English outside the anglosphere. Seems like a US-centric oversight not releasing it to “the rest of the world” as usual.
