There’s no need to be dismissive since they say this in the first sentence. Preparing an easy to use app for all platforms probably does get this into more creative hands, and that’s a net-positive contribution I can appreciate.

They did not prepare it for all platforms though. Linux is missing.

It does seem rather disingenuous that the product page makes no mention that the author didn't do the heavy lifting, and that at the same time it features a prominent donation button. If I didn't know who did the real work and benefitted a lot from this tool, I'd give to StemRoller in proportion to my gratitude -- which I'm sure others are liable to do.

  It's in the first paragraph of the README in the github repo and th3 second paragraph on the website. I'm not sure what more can be asked of the author.

    Thanks - I didn't even notice there was content below the fold on the web site (I'm on a desktop browser). How about saying so above the fold?

      How about you stop being so pedantic and admit it when you're wrong instead of digging a deeper, dumber hole.

        This is a real design problem - many web sites do this. Saying so and suggesting an alternative isn't being pedantic.

        > It does seem rather disingenuous that the product page makes no mention that the author didn't do the heavy lifting, It does seem rather disingenuous that your replies make no mention of admission for making a factually incorrect statement in the first reply. Not a big deal to me personally, but it is not surprising that some people see this as being petty.

        Thanks for clarifying. I did think saying "Thanks" to the person who corrected me is a straightforward admission that I was wrong... if not - yes, I was wrong. To the downvoters above: is a "thanks" to a correcting comment not enough on HN? Also, was it rude to say hiding content "below the fold" is a design problem? This is a very odd thread to me - like I was being chased down by pedants who are calling me pedantic.

        Seems you think everyone besides yourself is always the issue...maybe self reflect a bit
