Having built and maintained free software before as a solo dev, nothing grinds my gears more than entitled users. Maintaining a solo project and keeping the motivation to do so is hard, especially when users complain constantly. Sorry, I know this post comes from an honest place but it triggered a visceral reaction.
Solo dev here too mate. Nothing grinds my gears more too, but one thing. Knowing my software causes grief to my non-paying users. Especially grief I didnโt intend and could have avoided.
I tried to say it as kind as possible. If these bugs continue, people will just go to an alternative and this app will just die off, and then their work would have been for nothing.
Totally understand. That being said, the title is blunt and commanding, and that is what triggered me. If that kind of comment were directed at me, Iโd lose motivation instead of improving releases.
