Blah, blah, blah... one Dev. Get a grip.
The dev being alone does not mean they should make it closed source.
For example, Mindustry, which is an open source game, is only developed by one person, Anuke.
And, who knows tf they doing behind the scenes?
That's why i HATE anything closed-source. Making a software open-source does not have any downsides, it's free contributions from more experienced people. And it also means people can fork your project if you just can't do it anymore. Or want to improve it.
it's not as easy to monetize open-source software, and even solo devs gotta eat.
until UBI gets implemented worldwide, expect people to continue wanting monetary returns on their work.
Meh, I've used his app for many years now from when it was for the other shit site.
From my experience trying other apps. Boost is best. I'll take top quality v. whiny wanker.
Simple Mobile Tools were open source and made by a single dev and then he decided to sell everything to a shady company.
That dev is a traitor.
