It's obviously unimportant or you wouldn't have happily paid for it.
Giving away code to a paid app while it is viable and thriving offers no benefit to the producer except to allow anyone and everyone to duplicate their app and create knock-offs. The right "eyeballs" will never look at it because of Tragedy of the Commons.
Therefore, it's a wish but not a requirement.
- crossroadsguy 4y agoNot necessarily. It could be important but the non-FOSS tool might be the best available.
- veidr 4y agoHuh? How are you coming to that conclusion? It is important to me, and if I was aware of an open-source Obsidian equivalent, I would have chosen that. But there wasn't, and AFAIK there still isn't one. Having a good tool that works well for my purpose is more important, yes. So I still happily pay for it. > no benefit to the producer Perhaps...? But the producer isn't who I care about here; I'm the user.
