Let's Explain the Situation
About your help
Probably you are asking why a commercial project, making money on sales, needs help from volunteers?
As we explained in the appeal, at the moment our project isn't profitable. Even our direct expenses exceed the income. Therefore, we have to ask you for help.
Please help us, so we would be able to release new and better versions of oMega Commander.
You may say: of course, I wish you all the best, but I have no time nor resources to help you, it's not going to help anyway, that will take too much money, for which I have a better use.
Wait! That's not what we expect. You can help without money. Even a minute of your time may be enough to do some good. If everyone does a small thing, that will total in the real help.
What we did, what we achieved, and what we will be doing
In previous years we were developing oMega Commander utilizing our own resources only, not expecting to get instant compensation, hoping at first just for customers' gratitude.
Our main goal was to build the foundation, implement basic functions, create a convenient, reach and self-sufficient environment for your work. We believe we achieved that goal.
Our next main goal is to add a number of more significant features.
But it's also time to decide how to develop the project further. Our resources are limited, income from sales is minor.
Our nearest goals
So, not counting on full success, but knowing, that the application is worth a lot, ahead of releasing the next version we want to understand if potential is there or not. Should we continue or not?
For now, our goals:
If we see improvements in these goals, we will continue to develop the project further.
Otherwise, we are sad to talk about that, the project will have to be shut down :(
How to Help Quickly and Easily
Help making the application more well-known. That may take just a minute of your time.
Here are some ways to do that:
1.

Goal #1. Increase Income
Become our patron!
Thank you all, who purchased the application! Every purchase inspires us, and helps us to feel that our work is not in vain.
But unfortunately, the current volume of purchases is insufficient and the project can't exist from sales along.
As an experiment we decided to try opening donation channels. We don't know about the outcome, but we count on sympathizers.
If we get sufficient funds, we can spend them on necessary additional tools, hardware, and may be even additional developers. That will accelerate development.
Most importantly that will inspire us to further develop the project.
We'd like to finally experience some real success.
Donation platforms
A good and popular resource, dedicated to supporting creative people and independent developers.
It will take just a minute to become a patron.
An attractive feature of the site is that you can watch the count of patrons and the collected amount.
Alternatively, you can donate directly via PayPal.
