Hello,

I just wanre to congratulate the whole team for making version 5, I am really very happy about it's speed and how clean everything looks.

I know I can be a pain in the *** sometimes because I don't understand some of your decisions or how long you take to fix bugs or remove certain functionalities.

I just wanted to thank everyone in the team specially @Marc and others with whom I am interacting more often. My apologies if some of my comments could sound I was angry, but I was 😉 because I don't understand some of your decisions about the software.

A couple of thoughts....

First of all, I want to acknowledge something important: you managed to create something truly special. Building a community where members and developers support each other is incredibly difficult, and you achieved it. That is not something many platforms can say.

That’s why it was so disappointing, as a long-time client, to see the marketplace removed. From my perspective, that decision made it harder for many developers to continue contributing and left many users, including myself, without the support we were used to. Creating a strong community takes years, and any change that affects that ecosystem can understandably feel painful for those who have invested in it.

You’ve also developed great tools for interaction, like the poll system, which has a lot of potential to strengthen the relationship with your users. I sometimes wonder, though, why it isn’t used more to ask the community what they would like to keep, improve, or remove. Decisions about eliminating features often feel unilateral, and it’s hard not to feel disconnected when changes are made without first gathering feedback.

For me, the true value of a community lies in listening, exchanging ideas, and evolving together. When users are invited into that process, even difficult changes are easier to understand and accept. At the moment, the feature request area feels limited in impact, especially when even bug fixes can take a long time, which makes it hard to believe that new ideas will be implemented.

I share all of this with respect and because I genuinely care about the platform and what it could continue to become. Thank you for everything you’ve built so far, and I hope you’ll consider involving your community more in the decisions that shape its future.

Have a good day.

Thank you for your feedback. All feedback is of course appreciated.
