No Source Code (=Closed source?) #13

Open Rawa opened 4 years ago

Rawa commented 4 years ago

Hello,

Looking at the latest release there are no source code what so ever. source code (tar.gz) is empty except an empty README.md. Looking at your website https://caniusevia.com, it doesn't state any company behind this, nor any links to the source code.

What is the state on this project? Is it closed source? Is there a company behind it? Seems like installing this at it's current state would be the same as begging to get keylogger installed. :man_shrugging:

Best regards

+1 I'd like to know too, there are many things I would like to improve if it was open sourced.

I'd love to contribute to the save/load of profiles to include the current lighting type and hex value. Sometimes my M6 pad disconnects and has its local storage wiped so it reverts back to default colors and keymap. I can load my saved profile but it doesn't include the exact lighting I set and with the specific pink color I have, it's hard to get it just right with a gradient selector. A hex value saved to a profile and allowed to be typed in for the lighting would be amazing additions that I'd love to contribute.

I came here because I have the same question. If it's proprietary, that's fine, too, but then I want to know who is behind this. There are some repositories in this organization like "keyboards" or "reader" which contain some code, but no build instructions at all. I won't download a binary if I don't know who's behind them and there's no source code available. The app looks cool though but this feels shady.

+! @Rawa I think it would be great to clarify this in the README so that new users know what they are downloading.

Maybe @olivia can shed some light on this? :) On that note, thanks for the tool, it works great and is very easy to use!

Are there other open source solutions?
