    Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

    I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

    I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.








  • True: self hosting is beneficial, Foss office suite is great to empower us, users… etc.

    The point of the software presented isn’t aimed at regular computer users that would enjoy a bit of independence, it looks more like something aimed at the enterprise administrative level that people may stumble upon while searching for a document (who needs versioning apart from filename extensions if you alone work on the documents).See it as: you may find , download and use updated packaged software on github but in reality it’s really a tool aimed at devs before being a software repository for end users.

    I see this as software mainly for the French or German state administration being made public for others to enrich, integrate… Like Olvid is a matrix based E2E encrypted, real authenticated identity based messenger made available to the public once the French government financed it’s development for it’s own use.
