I have some experience in this space and I want to strongly encourage the author to reconsider their free as in beer model.
Yes, your target users don’t have a lot of money, but they also deserve a sense of whether or not you’re going to keep maintaining this project. Additionally, they are generally NOT technical and will not have the skills necessary to set up or maintain this platform.
Without a paid offering, they will have to run the software and will not have any clarity about your long term commitment to the project. Feel free to reach out to me. My email address is in my profile.
Hey this is a good comment about the value of something being free that I hadn't thought of before. If it's open on GitHub though couldn't another person fork and continue along if the original author vanishes?
Well, sure. But what if another person doesn't show up to continue along? How does a non-technical customer validate that the fork is going to fit their needs and does what they say?
On many Linux desktop environments it is the default - or can be configured: To hold the Windows Key ('meta') and left-mouse-drag a window around from _anywhere inside the window_! No need to get the mouse into the 'title bar'!
Additionally, meta+middle-mouse-drag allows one to resize a window from anywhere in the whole window!! (it chooses the closest corner when the drag starts) and this, being able to resize a window without needing to put the mouse in a usually-very-thin window border, is extremely liberating in my opinion! To the point where I really miss it on sub-windows where the app is handling resizing/etc itself!
There's a Windows app I used to use that supports the same kind of thing for Windows (different key I think), no idea if there's one for Mac I'm afraid - or whether it can be configured to work that way, but there probably is one so it would be worth investigating if this sounds useful to you I'd say!
I rarely use Windows but any box I do need to use for a while, I put Taekwindow on it. I only want the Linux feature of middle-clicking the titlebar to send to the back, myself, I don't want or need moving or resizing, but they're there.
yes, Alt+drag (it's always meta, not meta4, by default on systems i use) has been and still is a killer feature to me. on desktops which does not support it, like windows, i feel like my hands were tied.
You're wrong. The girl's school was hit by multiple Tomahawks as video evidence shows. The US Navy is the only service capable of firing Tomahawks. The root cause is DoD intelligence folks failed to get recent surveillance on the girl's school near a former IRGC building before adding it to the target list. It was probably a target passed along from Mossad but no one in the US kill chain did any due-diligence that they're supposed to do. Furthermore, offensive weapons release by a drone or ship requires an officer to give the final order.
