Windows support ? #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
You say that this software is supported with the Windows OS, yet you have no 
Windows client, nor the intent of developing one. This is very misleading and 
dishonest. How can you say that your software supports Windows when have no 
intent of actually writing a Windows client ?

Some facts:
* I never said I support Windows
* If you read the project description, you'll see "Windows will follow whenever 
someone volunteers to do it"
* There's a separate project done by someone else at 
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/ which does support Windows, 
it's also linked from the homepage of this project
* I don't have or plan to have a Windows machine, so I can't develop or support 
a Windows version directly, but I have every intent of collaborating with 
people willing to develop other clients
* You probably found this project through the lifehacker article (not written 
by me either), which explicitly mentions the separate project above
* If you searched for similar issues before filing yours (which you should, it 
wastes less of the developers' time, allowing us to spend that time improving 
the app), you'd have found multiple Windows-related issues
* It's very unpolite to call people dishonest without doing your homework first 
(in fact it's a felony in many countries) - this is not the type of feedback I 
welcome
