"Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required."
Really scummy on their part.
You should be able to build from source yourself to get a Windows version, although the process looks like a pain in the ass.
Curse whoever floated the idea to lock releases behind paywalls. We should not encourage this behavior.
Do not give them your money.
To each their own.
I think its reasonable that a one man dev team wants a bit of money for their time. They gave good reasons as to why and as others have said you could compile it yourself. I just don't know how and am a bit intimidated by the tutorial.
To me, personally, paying for this type of program when my use case is very casual, isn't worth it to me.
See, you people keep trying to excuse those who are taking you for a ride.
It's fine to "want" money. This isn't about "wanting" money. It's about lowering people's standards and contributing to a 'new normal.'
This isn't an issue with the vast majority of other projects, why should this one get a pass?
Don't be a useful idiot. Even among piracy communities, useful idiots are the norm.
