c0de517eedit-and-continue is just broken, right?
Per Vognsen@c0de517e When it works, it works. So yes, but no, but yes.
@c0de517e Have you tried Live++?
@pervognsen I wish live++ had a free license for personal projects - so no. Re: e&c, I asked because it seemed just to do nonsensical things - it's not that it fails, it patches the program, but then it doesn't appear to work right...
Stefan Reinalter@c0de517e @pervognsen Out of curiosity: do you think 10€ per month are too much for that kind of software or is this more of a general "don't like to pay for software for private projects"?
Lionel Fuentes@molecularmusing I'm in a similar case: the game studio I work at is paying for Live++ and the time gained VS price spent seems fair, but I can't use it for my personal hobby project which makes $0 benefit.
@molecularmusing @pervognsen tbh I didn’t look at the license at all, perhaps it would work for me. Also i have to say “personal” projects aren’t, i should have said solo prototypes. Might be turned into production stuff down the line… so then I would need the license to be read by the lawyers etc… Lastly, I already have my livecoding system via TCC - so E&C is mostly a curiosity at this point.
Bart Wronski 🇺🇦🇵🇸@molecularmusing @c0de517e @pervognsen not meant as a criticism of your business model - but I am so fed up with subscriptions for *everything*, multiple streaming services, software, mobile apps, and many more - that I refuse to use software that uses this unless I absolutely need it.
And for personal projects (zero money made, my time invested to give/share the results and knowledge to others) I generally tend to use free software; in recent years it's been crazy good (VS Code and such).
@molecularmusing @c0de517e @pervognsen but for some other hobbies and guilty pleasures I can really easily pay $500 (like I did for Ableton) and never get an update, much more easily than subscribe for $10 a month that I need to remember about and "manage".
Again, I don't want to criticize or start a discussion, just my personal feelings. And I'm not alone - recently synth company Minimal Audio tried releasing a sub-only synth, and the community backlash was gigantic and they backed out.

@molecularmusing @c0de517e @pervognsen though in audio, it's a bit different and worse because you want to be able to open and edit old projects, even when the subscription ends. Nothing worse than opening an old project and you don't have a VST plugin anymore (for example it was deprecated, or cannot activate or something), it's like losing your precious work.
Jeslas@molecularmusing @c0de517e @pervognsen I wish you had one time purchase but no more updates after 1 year model for personal projects.
On the other hand, it is your project so I do understand you value your time :)
