Open source doesn't mean that your software is automatically useful.

What should it matter if anyone uses it?
You should write because you enjoy it, not to make yourself feel better.

>Write open source software
>People use it
Also. the key to starting your own projects is to write something that you yourself want to use.
Who really gives a shit if anybody else uses it? You got the program that you wanted.

I got bug reports on a 5 year old tool recently, you never know when someone will need it.

Or you can just contribute to existing projects.

I would unironically be very happy to have even one person who doesn't know me personally use my software because it helps them in some way

>Also. the key to starting your own projects is to write something that you yourself want to use.
this only results in anime trackers and porn indexers

Sure, but who cares?
Some people are bothered to write things more complex than that.

You didn't post a link

I've just stopped replying at this point. It is open source, you want a feature, add it yourself. Fuck.

Post link user, I'll check it out

ya win some, ya lose some

the java version is objectively better for most use cases anyway

What does your program do ?

Floens pls no. We all love and appreciate your work.

I could a porn indexer. Any prior art that I could look at?

could use*
God dammit.

Giving it a free license doesn't make the software automatically useful, unfortunately. But I appreciate your contributions to free software, user.

Just hit deny

Thats not true though and blame SourceForge
I cant tell how many programs I have used but couldn't post a comment to thank the autor because of the required info for registration.
You guys are doing gods work

Prepare for an army of SJW riding your ass and banning you from every open source community

He didn't say that or anything that implied that, brainlet.

I totally would use a porn indexer. Where can i get one?

Humble.

It's like you want to be harassed

Its about making useful shit not free shit

Feels great being the only user of my software.

The addon is horribly written and buggy. I'm not sure if they just forgot that they installed it.

Quick question.
Do addons undergo audit from Mozilla?
Whats stopping me for uploading rogue addon?

can you make a program that finds dinosaur cosplay loli images and emails them to me daily?

There is some kind of auditing. I used to use Youtube Unblocker but it was removed by Mozilla because it installed another unsolicited addon in the background.

floens pls
we hate you because we love you

Is it normal to not know what to write? I'd like to write some programs but I really don't know what to make.

make nice diabetic logbook for latex, pretty fucking simple, even came with automated data point collection for use in graphs appended to the table, hyperlinks, could be better of course but n=1 so I have little complains, can't workout how to make official documentation (a whole week) to upload it on the official rep, tell myself, ah whatever, everybody's using proprietary software and hardware that gives them everything, and very few care about customizability AND using tex.

>Do addons undergo audit from Mozilla?
Thats at least what they are telling you when you upload it. There are also rules that you can't upload binaries and obfuscated code. It took about half an hour for them to audit it but it only has something like 50 LoC.

>find a application you use
>fix a bug or add a feature you like
You don't need to create something new.

open source is cuckery unless people are making you products that make you money in return

They used to but now it gets auto approved unless you trigger code checker by using eval or something.
A human supposedly looks eventually.

write software which you yourself needs

What extension?

>porn indexers
You got me. I'm on the fence of doing that shit but it already feature-creeps in the concept phase and blows up to its own OS. Fuck this.

>not allowed to use
Was this change made after the release of older versions? Licensing changes do not apply like that.

Just disable the issue tracker and add "Fork it, dude" to the README.md

Their EULA prohibits other people from distributing their software. I couldn't find older versions anywhere on the internet and I'm not familiar with lawspeak so I figured its better just to write it myself, getting rid of the botnet bullshit was a plus.

you could have used Redshift as a base?
