TouchCode is mostly a labour of love. I wrote most of the code because it was useful to me at the time I wrote it, or for a forthcoming project. I choose to release it under the an Open Source license because the community as a whole benefits.
I would like to continue improving and adding to TouchCode, but my time is finite and I’m unable to work on it as much as I would like. So when I do work on TouchCode, I appreciate that other people rely on the code and as such I make it a priority to fix bugs before adding new features or components. Other contributors to TouchCode have helped a lot. A lot of bugs and memory leaks have been found and fixed. This is all great. But it is obvious that TouchCode needs more work, it especially needs more unit tests and documentation. To help make time available to improve this I’ve decided to ask TouchCode users for donations via PayPal.
- You do NOT need to donate to use TouchCode (the code is still Open Source under very permissive licenses).
- TouchCode will always remain Open Source. Donations will not change that.
- Donations will be set aside and will allow me to spend more time working on TouchCode – especially the less sexy fun of TouchCode. I will not be using the funds to buy a new MacBook Pro (however tempting that may be).
- Donations will be made with no strings attached. I will not be adding feature X to component Y just because you’ve donated to the project. However if you have an urgent need for something in TouchCode (output support in NSXMLDocument perhaps?) contact me and we can talk.
- No donation too small, no donation too big. Every donation appreciated.
And here’s the PayPal donate button:
