L-B The credit card doesnt get proccessed and shows me a message "International cards are not allowe
Thanks a lot L-B. You're the first person to try to donate since I migrated to buy me a coffee portal (around January 21) and so I wasn't aware there is a new restriction on international payments. I discussed with the support and they informed that this was recently added to account for some tax law changes.
I really appreciate the gesture. My apologies for the confusion. I'll work with other partners and migrate to another platform if I resume my efforts in future. Thanks a lot for letting me know!
BeBrave They obviously don't know what it takes to build an android app
I apologize if I misunderstood your comment. Just to explain my comment and chronology,
- 6th March - Samuel from this forum had requested me to port my free and open source mouse cursor app matvt (here: [Login to see the link]). I ported it to android phones, but since I don't own a flipphone, I was looking for some feedback for any remaining fixes. I received none at that time.
- 22nd March - Someone posted about the flipphone pre-release on this forum ([Login to see the link])
- 23rd Mach - aka the date of this thread creation, Boruch had made a two line change and run the app on flipphones. (This was possible because my source code is open and anyone can make modifications as they see fit). He also partnered with a service Instatext and was charging to distribute my open source mouse application and did not give any kind of credit at that time, and also had a notice in the app which said any other sources of obtaining the app are unfair. This was later brought to my attention by some other kind folks and my post aimed at seeking help for the open source version got removed. Instead emails telling me my open source version is illegal and people had paid for it started pouring in.
The admins however did take note of it and helped in getting the required changes contributed back to the open source version.
Regardless, I was deeply hurt by these events. I make (or rather used to make) lots of open source software and first time someone had capitalized on it without any regards for the open source contributions.
I'm grateful to the folks who continued working with me on the open source version and we came out with a flipphone version which was at par with the Android TV version (Available under assets at [Login to see the link] , released on 10 April)
Recently (22nd April), Boruch also contacted me and admitted his mistake. I presumed your comment was with respect to the modifications made to the original thread and hence referring to the open source version in the portion that I quoted above.
My apologies if I misunderstood the comment, but having already received such remarks before, I presumed so.
