Let's finish this screensaver together.
I've been thinking a bit, and while now might not be the ideal time for me, it might never be.
I feel like the broken state where the "Touch probe screen" and others remain unfixed is hindering people from enjoying this otherwise well-received screenset - at least based on the overall positive reactions.
The only way I can see myself dedicating the necessary time for a final, polished release would be if my development time is covered. I understand that a large upfront cost might not be feasible for everyone. However, by reaching a wider audience, we can make this project more accessible.
Here's the idea: I propose running a Kickstarter campaign. Backers would essentially be deciding whether a few bugs are a fair trade-off for a fully polished UI. If the campaign doesn't reach its goal, that's perfectly alright too.
Before launching this idea - as the campaign does not happen just like that, I wanted to gauge your interest here. My estimate is that at least 100 hours of work are required, which translates to roughly $3,000 USD to complete. This would be the target goal of the Kickstarter. In return, we would all have the finished UI and complete, ensuring the screenset remains free, something that wouldn't be possible without your support.
What do you think? Would this be something you'd consider to support?
