Well I would say someone who was over a decade in commercial software at some point tin the past and now is not, is probably is the definition of “out of touch dad”.

Not to mention making comparisons about following younger men in a band from bar to bar singing the “same old songs” and claiming to be a groupie. Which seems mighty weird to me, if not surreal. But each to his own fetishes and penchants.

Specific advice about payment options & forms, etc with links to facts & figures & surveys is different to general sycophantic praise blurb.

Plus detailed feedback about: software features settings etc again versus walls of text with nothing specific about the software, solutions, payments, facts figures etc.

However no more such detailed technical feedback will be forthcoming from me for sure.

Yet another confusion is about the competition.

Again this is not general waffle as we might read. It specifically was about:

* Novel new features, not general jive as generalized here, in a software in a niche area
* Secondly as brought up recently by me in another thread, this Miller Column design will not be unexplored for long
* It was not the initial invention of the wheel either as claimed
* Others are also entering the field as seen in that thread
* Once others join in with a proper outliner tree editor in this area, not chunky monkey white boxes in a web-app knock-off, that’s it, adieu
* There will be more Miller Column designs and it won’t matter who was moonlighting or which elderly gentleman fantasized how romantic the young singer was in a bar.
* As Ceausescu discovered on the balcony, the same praise singing sycophantic crowd will be the first rats leaving the sinking ship. This, history has shown again & again. Then it is too late to look back at technical specific advice that was ignored. Not to mention commercial ones, vs general blah blah blah as though Laurel giving advice to Hardy.

Finally, declaring most users want subscriptions based wares is yet another baseless generalization. As many have said here, they won’t use subs-ware apps & forums, etc. Each to his own.

Someone here said from the track-record looks like Gingko is going nowhere. Sums it up. If it is just an after-work side project, then I won’t be investing my long term time or data.

This post was fun to do.

Perfect pair:
