TightBeam, r634718 , and Washere:

Prove it that this is “photoshopped” as you claim it to be. The code behind for the screens are present. subpoena us for the source code so you can inspect it.

Show which image was “photoshopped”, since many screenshots of the app was made for documentation purposes (help file).

And the other apps listed on the forums? They have had lengthy beta-test times, some more than a year of no development, and how come they are not scams?

The apps which the authors abandon their development, how come they are not scams, which cannot do a one-pane outliner?

StoryServer was made in development for a very long time. There was much time figuring out the Print, Filters, Sum, Sort, Column commands.

You have no idea as to the difficulty of the work that is being done, and all the complexity to make a one-pane organizer.

Go ahead and do it, we’ll file a counter-claim and that will trigger a full lawsuit, if that’s what you want.

@Washere, you’d do well to state your real name now, since this is now slander and untowards of the spirit of this website.

I could venture an opinion here.

So I’m a software engineer. I’ve written about, oh, 5 or so prototypes of my own started-out-as-an-EccoPro-clone App, 3 in Adobe AIR, 1 in Unity, and then I ventured forth into Electron (I know that sounds confusing).

This is me, btw, so you know I’m on the level here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sh0rtwave/

From a particular perspective(especially these days with much more powerful development systems available), EccoPro is a *trivially* easy thing to duplicate(I oughta know, I’ve built multiple applications that *vastly* exceed it’s power). It’s data structures, and methods of operation, database-wise, while functional and legitimately still useful, remain dated, and problems that plagued it have long since been solved by more sophisticated applications.

So, what I would like to see, that I would find useful (as I was just using EccoPro just last November), is if your application can truly handle data in excess of the limits of the original EccoPro. Show me that, and I will get behind you 100%. It’s entirely possible, that if you can show me that, I’d buy a copy, I actually got excited when I saw your screenshots, and you should know that I did get excited, in spite of the fact that I’ve written many more powerfully-scoped things (https://imgur.com/XAetnsS

<--like this. This was every bit as powerful as Palantir).

So, let's dispense with the argument about whether or not you've got code, nobody cares about your code. Show us a video, of it operation, demonstrating how gracefully it will handle exceeding those original limits, and I'm telling you. I will buy it.

Come on, Polywick Studio.

You are here as a guest (as we all are).

People come here to share tips and tricks and how-to information. You come here and dump marketing fluff - in my eyes you misuse the forum in a way no other software developer does. And then you talk about lawsuits?

Why don’t you make alpha or beta versions of your software available to those who asked here in the past?

I’m not going to give my name, or other details, to someone in Philippines or Nigeria etc. Both centers of internet scamming. Many teen-agers committed suicide after finding out the romantic interest who got their nude photos was not a young person in Midwest, but organized gangs in Philippines where you are. They also do scam investment schemes for various projects.

You post here. You tell medium.com your posts here justify your legitimacy. Here you tell us your posts on medium justify you.

I’m not going to believe any Photoshoped images or animation videos.

I’m not going to give you my name, or anyone elses in Philippines or Nigeria, nor other details.

You never replied to those here who asked for proof. You ignored those gentle souls questions to you completely.

Because, whatever is the case, you were not brought up properly and think ignoring those honest people is clever. It’s not clever to be rude and disrespectful. That’s what business is about, trustworthiness and how to detect it. You ignored all those people here. It showed me your don’t respect them.

You asked for beta requests. People sent requests from here.

You did not send a single beta to any of them here.

You lied, again.

YOU DID NOT SEND A SINGLE BETA.

So sign of a scam.

Even if you put out something, it could easily be a phishing app and keyboard logger and drive scanner sending private data to Philippines.

@washere

For the sake of comity, not to mention accuracy, you might consider making your points here, however valid they may be, without resorting to casting aspersions that evoke borderline racist/colonialist tropes. Why not demonstrate by example the civility of someone who, apparently, was “brought up properly”?

That being said, yes, I too have had major doubts about the software since it was first mentioned, and I think it’s fair to suggest that without an alpha or beta, the claims cannot be taken very seriously.
