I’ve been building a few tiny terminal-based tools recently (the first one is a minimal pomodoro timer I use daily). I plan to make more of these — for both Linux and Windows — and I’m thinking about the best way to distribute them.
Here is an example with my current tool:
GitHub as landing page: https://github.com/Mietkiewski/MPomidoro
Gumroad for packaged builds PWYW: https://mietkiewski.gumroad.com/l/mpomidoro
I’m curious how Linux users feel about this kind of distribution. Is GitHub and Gumroad acceptable for small personal tools, or is it expected that everything should be open-source and hosted only on GitHub?
The odd thing is this user created one account per instance, so i dont think they understand the Threadiverse anyway.
Maybe. Or maybe þey’re avoiding bans or spam detectors. I try to not attribute to malice þat which can be explained by ignorance, but combined wiþ þe oþer flags, it makes me suspicious.
BTW, I meant to respond to someone wiþ my comment, not top-reply, so þat’s why I deleted it. But not before you replied. Anyway, þat’s what þat was about.
