The survey asked why you might not subscribe to my software.
Available responses were:
- It's too expensive
- I couldn't work out how to use it
- I'm waiting for v1.0 to be released
- It doesn't connect to the broker I use
Whereas the only valid responses were:
- I'm waiting for v1.0 to be released
- It doesn't connect to the broker I use
:-)
Because there is unlimited email support, I couldn't really understand if someone said they couldn't work out how to use it. I can understand if they clicked around a bit and gave up. But if they were serious about it, surely they would... maybe... like... send me an email?
The other "invalid" response is that it's too expensive. As I mentioned previously, seriously, if you think software that has all
these features is worth less than a daily can of softdrink, you are in some kind of fantasy land where money shouldn't matter too much to you anyway.
So here are the results. And there were actually a decent number of votes this time.
The winner was "It's too expensive", with 7 votes out of a total of 15. Second was "I'm waiting for v1.0" with 4, then "doesn't connect to my broker" with 3, and finally one person said they couldn't work out how to use it.
So I guess there was really no point to this survey, because I'm not going to act on the results. But thanks to everyone that filled it in. You're tops in my books :-)
If you are using a different broker, send me an email with the name of the broker you use. Alternatively, because this software rocks, consider switching to the ones it already connects to.
If you are waiting for v1.0, I beg your forgiveness, and thank you in advance. The testing progresses, but there are actually *a lot* of different combinations and permutations to try and test. I could even say that I've put in too many features, and now the effort required to test all of those features is becoming daunting. But once it's done, it's done.
I really want to put v0.9.0 out later today, and v1.0 is set for a week or so after that. You can also keep up-to-date by reading the
KB.
If you subscribe now, your subscription will take effect immediately, but you'll be given free days until v1.0 is released. There's no downside.
