Shall I tell you some FOSS horror stories?

1. an auto update wiped all user data including listening progress and bookmarks without warning

2. user data from previous version exists in an in-app text which cannot be exported

3. user data database was deliberately hidden from android folders. When data export function request comes in they questioned use case.

All in one app.

Just a reminder that while I make these apps available for free, I do accept sponsorships if you like what I do and want to unlock pro features in current and future apps. These features do not effect core functionality, but your sponsorships do unlock my ability to keep doing this and not go back to an office job.

I build tools for niche communities. Your sponsorship helps me keep shipping and keeps Pro features available without app store lock-in. Every pound goes directly to development time.

Ah, yes, the never-ending saga of Windows app development: a labyrinth of spaghetti code and a shrine to the ghost of Visual C++ past. 🎭 While our hero nostalgically reminisces about #.NET and Neopets cheats, we're left pondering if the real mess was the friends we made along the way. 🚀👾

Windows Native App Development Is a Mess

I tried to build a Windows native app using Microsoft's latest technologies. Now I understand why everyone builds Electron apps.
