I've been meaning to make saved sites editable - will implement this asap.
Regarding the app download, I figured you have to log in anyway to get the license key, and the direct download link is on the same page. The Dropbox link is only required for older versions of the app, and the latest version (1.0.6) includes auto updates. I get your point though - this process could definitely be improved; hopefully I'll have time tomorrow.
I'm not sure about the connection issue - I'll do some testing on my mac tomorrow to try to replicate the error, and will hopefully have an update very soon!
Yeah that's a fair point. The purpose of the application isn't to provide fine-grained control over plugins etc yet.. However, I do intend to add settings configuration for some plugins. Which plugins I'll do this for depends on their popularity and whether they have WP-CLI compatibility built in.
In the meantime I may see if I can also embed the WP admin page so the user has quick access if they want to change anything.
I have ~10 years' experience and am finding the same.
It's reassuring to know that I'm not alone (so presumably it's not just because I'm a terrible developer), but disheartening at the same time because who knows when things will improve?
I'm in an ok situation financially (no mortgage, earning a little bit doing AI training) so have the freedom to develop a couple apps of my own. This is something I've wanted to do for ages, but they're a long way from making any kind of money.
I can't complain but I'd really rather have a stable income at this stage.
20 yrs here, going on my 2nd month. 300+ applications, about 1% return. I tell myself that after 6 months, I'll sell my house and buy a farm or travel for a few months or something. I can't imagine how many qualified people the market is losing to this line of thinking.
We use Maori bird names for all sorts of things in NZ, such as my child's kindergarten room. Is there a difference between that and this? Or do you think neither is okay?
Other than for the fact that it's open source, is there any reason people prefer AHK to AutoIt?
I haven't used either for some time now because I don't use Windows much these days, but I tried both and vastly preferred AutoIt. I'm surprised that the author stuck with AHK when he says "AHK v1 was very, very bad.", when surely AutoIt was a viable alternative?
Hmm. I checked it out and didn't really like it. Autoit feels dated, like something out of the early 2000s. By contrast AHK feels modern, fresh, and slick.
Sidenote: what is it with Windows developers and releasing freware that allows for commercial use but still holding on to not being open-source or at least source-available? The fact that this is still happening in 2023 is flabbergasting.
In the modern software world, a basic trend is that if it's free and has no path towards monetization (ads, user data, premium editions/subscriptions, etc) it's open source.
It's worth remembering that free and open source are two completely separate factors. Something could have restrictive licensing despite being open source, while another could have very free licensing despite being closed source.
Open source by itself simply means the source is readily available for reading, nothing more and nothing less.
Huh, I was under impression AutoIt was the enterprise (i.e. paid) version of AutoHotKey. I'm surprised to find out it's freeware. I never touched it because I thought I had to pay.
