ConnectedText - moribund?

So are you hoping that by calling it “moribund” on a public forum you will get Eduardo fix your specific bug more quickly?

I find that tactic a bit troubling. I don’t know Eduardo’s circumstances, but I hazard a guess that CT is not his main livelihood but his labour of love that he has sustained on the side.

Considering what CT is, to me it is a very mature, very stable and perfectly functioning product. I run into zero bugs in my daily use, but maybe I’m not a particularly sophisticated user.

Still, to me ConnectedText is an absolutely amazing and mindblowing software and I haven’t found anything that comes near it.

I consider Eduardo a genius for being able to come up with something like this, especially if he had developed this product in his spare time.

So the last thing I’d want is for him to be put off or discouraged by these sort of posts from pursuing this project any further.

If anything, this kind of community should be helping and encouraging individual developers to survive in the face of mega giants promoting mediocrity and the lowest common denominator across the world with their mega budgets.

When will a Google or Microsoft ever come up with a product that comes anywhere near what CT can do?
