Who spent the time to make this? If those people spent countless hours doing it by hand, maybe they would be willing to spend an analogous resource? It seems reasonable to me if you've already invested so much and paid in time.

But yeah that's why I was asking if this was a non-code issue? Because they're presenting it as hey, we couldn't figure out the battery life in this post.

$200 mean very different things to different people.

I would never say it's "reasonable" to expect anyone (including maintainers) to contribute money or code to an open source project.

Must be easy for you to type these things from your comfortable armchair.

  • So what's the point of spending months and months and months of your time just to shut down your project when it could possibly be worked out for several $100? Is the situation that the authors have a lot of time and no money? Could we get the project some money if that's the case? Apps like this are so important. Every year they become more critical.

    And I would like if someone could please confirm is this related to literal code problems or systemic problems with Apple and Google?

    • It seems that you still haven't realized the gigantic hole in your arguments even after I already pointed them out.

      If you don't know what open source software is or how projects are typically run (including where the funding, if any, comes from), educate yourself before posting meaningless texts in a forum.
