To the author of SuperSorter:

Please consider open sourcing this project so that it can continue to be useful for all of us that love it.

You have no doubt put a lot of time and effort into SuperSorter and I wish to not take away from that, but rather to honor your work by continuing to bring fixes and tweaks to your original vision - it's time to open source it!

Please consider this as this has so many advantages, such as the following (but many more):
  • More frequent bug fixes.  The more open it is, generally the quicker it is to get a developer to fix an issue and the PR turnaround is relatively low.
  • Automated builds and automated testing can drastically reduce bugs
  • Feature requests - You can still be in control of the overall vision of your project and decide whether or not to include additional features
  • The power of GitHub and open source dev community - There are so many users out there of this project and projects such as this that could greatly benefit from being open sourced and hosted on GitHub.  I would be happy to walk you through the steps if you elect to do this.
Again, please consider making SuperSorter open-sourced so we can all continue to use it for years to come!

Sincerely,
Jeremy M.

Jeremy, thanks for your suggestion. This is something I have often considered, and it may be the way to go. I will give it some thought and attention.
