I get more than one message a week requesting help with one of my many open source plugins or projects.\u00a0\u00a0 I would really love to help you; but this is not something that is sustainable and completely unfair to my family.<\/p>\n
Not only did you get the plugin and\/or project for free; you already have the source code, documentation, and probably even a full demo that shows most -- if not all the functionality of the project.\u00a0\u00a0 You should have everything you need to find the answer to the question yourself.<\/p>\n
Pretty much all my income generated is currently from my doing contract development or consulting related work.\u00a0\u00a0 So any \"free\" support work that interrupts paid work; really is a bad thing for my family. \u00a0 If you are being paid to build your app; than you can see how this\u00a0 even more of an issue.<\/p>\n
If you really you think you found a bug; then by all means report it to the proper repo (https:\/\/github.com\/NathanaelA) and the support will be appropriately dolled out.\u00a0\u00a0 I do take bugs seriously; but again open source plugins are never as high of a priority as paid work.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bugs will eventually get fixed; but it might take several weeks to find the time to work on it.\u00a0\u00a0 In the meantime I do accept pull requests.\u00a0 I am also much more likely to accept your PR fairly quickly and fix anything that I find broken in it; than reject it.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Finally, I am not opposed to supporting you; so If you really want my support; I do offer paid support https:\/\/nativescript.tools\/product\/11<\/p>\n
