Please keep the clear style and add more snipes por C, and a basic tool compiler

Intype is the best text editor for me and I want to see 1.0 release ;)

We are communicating on a daily basis at the forums. We are currently having a little time for updates, due to our concentration on the 0.3.5 release and the new website implementation.

Hey, what’s going on? Is development still progressing? From this site it doesn’t seem like anything is going on as of late.

Disappointed not to see a new milestone, but glad intype’s still in the works!

Your comments about $/pleasure to develop made a lot of sense, this makes us respect you even more; good for the long run :)

Good luck!

Nikolay: No problem, Nikolay. I understand your attitude, and I am aware that releases are not regular and we are definitely working on it. It’s going to be much more easier now, because we all are based in Prague. I’ll be posting more on this…

Martin: Thanks for explaining the situation. I am sorry you felt bad about my proposal - I just sincerely wanted to help. If I had the time, I would offer to help in other ways. Intype is great and we all complain about the release pace, because we want it so so badly! If we didn’t like it, we wouldn’t care!

Martin:
“Our motivation is to do what we like to do, and the way we want it to. Money tend to rip out that free feeling (at least for us), and that would destroy the motivation.”

I whole-heartedly and completely agree with those two sentences. I’ve felt the same way about accepting money when I’ve ever offered to “help”. As soon as I accept money, I no longer “want” to help, I feel like I “have” to help. Not fun. I’m glad you and your team are enjoying the experience. :)

Brendon: Thank you for your support, Brendon. There’s also another thing other than the venture. It’s the motivation. We are happy to add new features, playing around with it, thinking about new features, planning and developing through the night. Even solving unexpected organization and planning troubles we had recently is a joy (I had never felt that well when I was in the pressure in commercial project). We are being paid for work we done for our employers, and we are paid quite well. Our motivation is to do what we like to do, and the way we want it to. Money tend to rip out that free feeling (at least for us), and that would destroy the motivation.

We also don’t want to be paid for something we are not satisfied with. Those unfinished unpolished half-finished products are everywhere (I know, I had made them myself at my previous jobs; Where is the point?). That’s also why the competition is not really bothering us. We just feel that we are on the right path, to do what we wanted from the very beginning: an editor that helps and feels friendly at each aspect — even if the friendliness takes 90% of spare time on design to be achieved.

I myself really enjoy the community work. To communicate, to see that people are looking forward to the new versions, and are really pleased when we deliver it. We are in alpha, but Intype is stable, fast and balanced. People even use it at their daily work. This is the core of the project. This is far more important than money; than having half-features bringing always the same confusing and boring, features being designed-done-n-released in two days.

Being a developer, I can understand their unwillingness to take money if they do not know what the future holds. Their timeline can be shattered quite easily, and keeping track of prepay orders is only another burden to tackle that they are not quite ready for…not to mention the extra pressure. Once they take money, they’re under obligation to work extra hours to a completion, whereas at this point, it’s a business venture and one decision in their venture was to allow free testing of alpha/beta builds - not something they were required to do. I’d much rather help on a project-assistance basis, not monetary.
