I'm starting to think we might need a global union for developers. I have been reading the comments today and it looks like a lot us getting way underpaid.

New features should be a moment of joy if they are released. So far so good. People really liked the idea of working together on opensource project. The app is updated. But then we encountered a major problem. It looks like some of us are getting so underpaid that they can't pay for the 14 dollar it cost to start the opensource project they want. We must rebel against this.

14 dollar, how much is 14 dollar. How many hobbies cost 14 dollar to start up. From running to collecting stamps. Its going to cost you more And how many hobbies are you as passionate about as your own open source project.

The next great thing is that it is show in the place where developers are eagerly looking to join a opensource project. And will probably join you're product because I'm sure between all of us there are tons of wonderfull ideas just waiting to be build.

And for me personal I do not mind supporting an app that I use almost every day. And just keeps growing without annoying ads.

So you should be more then willing to pay 14 dollars. And are ready to start recruiting your team.

And if you really can't pay. Your house burned down, you needed it for food. Your only pc is beyond saving. You can be a positive force in this community and do pay with upvotes.

But if you are to much a cheapskate to pay 14 dollars well, I think I was clear enough.

    And in the extreme case that you do not have any money and are to socially unlikeable for upvotes.

    If the idea is good I'm sure it would happen. I see herds of very friendly people on devRant.

    I would be one of them if I like the. I would probably also order a pizza for you against the honger. Don't try to troll me now. I wil need some proof

    Haha, thanks for this. I completely agree.

    Honestly, where we live in NYC, it's not out of the ordinary to spend $15 on lunch at a fast food place...

    @dfox Mother of god, I already find a lunch worth 5 euro expensive here... A good sandwich plus drink costs like not even three euros or so!
