- witherk 6y agoIs he the sole creator? That is a sadly small sum for this work.
- stinkytaco 6y agoI think there are other contributors, but he rubs lots of people the wrong way, so probably not as many as there could be.
- fencepost 6y agoSeems to me that he might do better if he put in a few tiers of "You get absolutely nothing extra for this except the thanks of Kovid and the Calibre community for supporting ongoing development." Right now all support is custom donations.
- femiagbabiaka 6y agoGreat reminder. Done. I wonder how much extra income he will get just because you thought to mention it.
- david_allison 6y ago~$57/m: well worth the time to make the comment
- barbazoo 6y agoWhat an unfortunate name these days
- Shorel 6y agoAlso, kitty, which is a very fast Linux terminal I use all the time. (not to be confused with the terminal software of the same name that runs in Windows.)
- SauciestGNU 6y agoI've recently switched to his terminal emulator Kitty and I'm similarly impressed by that! I had no idea he was also behind calibre. I definitely owe him a subscription.
- billyjobob 6y agoI don't want to dig up old grievances but I think most people who have had the misfortune to interact with Kovid on a personal level would agree he is not the sort of person who deserves a penny of your money.
- passwert 6y agoCare to explain?
