Any plans for Appimage/flatpak build support for linux?
- mherrmann 5y ago
  Haven't gotten around to it since 2018 and don't think this will change soon. Always happy to receive contributions though. https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs/issues/49 https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs/issues/49

Would you consider a refund policy or dry run trial with pro home? The free version doesn’t support modern Python versions so to see if it works.

  All but the cheapest edition come with a 31 day money back guarantee. It's written on the purchase page.

The top comment in the thread says > Free fbs doesn’t work with recent versions of python (>3.6) Is this true? What are the plans (if any) to update the GPL version of the project?
- mherrmann 5y ago
  May happen at some point in the future but no immediate plans.

    that's not very reassuring....was excited but unfortunately, will be a no go from me. if anybody knows an alternative to this, i would be very interested, i understand we all need to get paid but hmmm yeah open source is not easy to make money from since most people just expect everything for nothing, and this is just the reality of this space.

      You won't find an alternative that is as good. And it's just a question of the value of your time. As a developer, you should recuperate the costs for Pro in less than an hour. And it saves you weeks that I have had to spend over years of development. I don't know how that calculation can't add up. But to each their own.

        right im just worried if i pay to use this im locked to python 3.6 it would be perfect if you could solve this issue as this is what is blocking me from purchasing it.
        mherrmann 5y ago
        If you pay to use it then you can use later Python versions. Pro supports at least up to 3.10 as of this writing and is continuously updated for later versions.
