Fan funding: the price sets the fans needed; limited edition as a switch
Deploy test site / deploy (push) Successful in 1m4s

The artist sets only the fan price; the number of fans needed follows from
it: the plant's 100-copy minimum, or the break-even if that is higher. The
goal selector of 6a62505 is removed from both demos.

make-a-record.html:
- step 4 leads with "Your price to fans" (input, slider from 300 THB,
  presets 800 to 2,000) and a live "You need N fans to press it, X THB in
  pre-orders", plus the price below which the minimum no longer covers
  the costs (about 640 THB at the defaults)
- limited edition is now a switch, off by default; the edition size stays
  visible but disabled until it is on, and switching it on adds the
  numbered edition to the record
- "per title" renamed for end users: "One-off, for this release", "once +
  per copy", "One-off setup", with a note that one-off costs count sides,
  not songs (a double LP has four)
- the tour lowers the price to 500 THB and back to show the fans needed
  rising from 100 to 152

Above that floor the goal is the artist's choice, for example a bigger
first run or a round number to tell fans. A higher goal is all or nothing
as well: if it is missed, every fan is refunded, even when the floor was
passed. Both demos let the artist set it, with the goal shown in fans and
as the pre-order amount (fans × fan price).
Both demos show it in fans and as the pre-order amount (fans × fan
price); the investor demo also says from which fan price the 100-copy
minimum is enough (about 640 THB in the illustration; below it the
break-even sets the goal).
With the illustration above and a fan price of 1,200 THB (an example,
not a recommendation) and payment fees of about 3.5%: break-even is
38,000 / (1,200 − 42 − 232) ≈ **41 copies**, so the lowest goal is the

shows the artist this before launch, for any price they type in. Shipping
is charged to the fan separately at checkout, at cost.
