One is a complete toy - really simple and nearly finished, just needs some finishing touches. The other one a bit more involved. And guess what? I have just checked: I started the toy one in May 2015 and the other one in March 2014. I just cannot get around to finishing either of them, never get two hours straight to do it. Pouring money down my throat would do no good, it is the time that I need.

money poured down the throat ?
that did be hard indeed
and i thought people used their throat to pour beer only

Hmmmm...

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Money Hot is a noble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Money Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Money cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Money Hot poured down the back.

O! Money is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Money with my feet!


With apologies to JRR Tolkien. :)

Out of interest, what kind of apps or programming task would you consider bounty-worthy?

Why don't people have a look at other projects that use bounties?

eg. ElementaryOS - https://www.bountysource.com/teams/elementary

It would have been nice if together.jolla.com was

a) linked to git

b) supported bounties.

and of course Jolla opened up in such a way as to allow outside developers to claim those bounties if they weren't going to.

are you asking to me? i would like for example, a signal native app, implementation of things missing in sailorgram, a patch that improves the one made by nodevel (one cover action with pull down,other with pull up), a fb app, a puhbullet like tool, an app like twilight or flux, a disqus webapp, an italian dictionary for eber42 okboard, porting sailfish to LGG2 and in future on puzzlephone, the already wip android layer, an app like fakeposition for both android and sailfish, an app to switch to 3g only when browser is started (like intelli3g of xposed)..for all this things ( and if someone is able to write down that, for all sub-task /step) i would be very happy to pay...is just a app partial list, however

sorry but i cant edit from mobile since the pointer dosn't want to move down. i can add support for audio recording with the nexus' port ( last time i checked it,it didnt work,at list with whatsup)...they are all things i desire maybe some of them wouldnt be interesting for anyone, but maybe others would be something that could collect money support by a lot of users


however my idea was just an idea, so i dont know if it would help or if it would be useless, i really cant afford to understand it

ps: if someone could explain to me how to change title i would happy correct it,since it seems written by a person who really want Rum.

To change the thread title, just edit the first post. Simples.
