They are the same reasons I've shared here but I've added some more sensitive background info to help clarify.

I think Instinctiv is AWESOME, been using it for a while now and i love it!
But one MAJOR fault in it...
If the phone is set to Silent, no sound comes out of the speakers or headphones!
There are apps that override this feature, because its a default thing in Maemo. Silent shuts apps up! But Mediabox can bypass this and output sound in either situation!
Another thing would be PLEEEEASE get rid of the Maemo bar at the top! Its uuuugly! Is there no way to make integrated X and App Manager buttons on the app itself? See Tweego or most Offscrn Apps to know what im on about! But i just think this is such a beautiful player so yeah, lets keep it that way
Oh and a "Search for new media" button would be nice! It takes a little long for the program to find new media itself so yeah that'd be nice
But seriously keep this up! Its one of my FAV apps

Sorry :/ Didn't read that the project is being Discouraged!
Kinda sad to hear that...but as many have agreed on this thread it was inevitable and is fully understandable. A company needs funding to operate...without such funding...why bother?
But i talk on behalf of many people on this thread, that we all really appreciate the work that the Instinctiv team have put in, and the effort they have submitted to create a new benchmark in Meego/Maemo App creation!
All we can wish for now is that people see this example, and work towards it!
We all wish this company the best and hope to see you guys one day come to complete/refine this App for Maemo/Meego! You never know, Meego may very well turn out to be the profitable OS that might just do the job for you guys!
Nevertheless thank you for creating work at such a high standard! And yeah...just keep on going!

this whole maemo and nokia business is like that frankenstein story...first nokia spents much time and effort in creating(developing) maemo and then in the end they are trying to destroy(finish) it...so i guess no instinctiv for future meego then or you guys have plan for returning sometime later?
