look i dont got much money in the bank but people need to start donating to foss creators cause it's getting dumb, musescore sold out to ultimate guitar and theyre going to shit cause guess what? no one gave money. the linux distro im using is ome of the biggest jn the world and it barely scrapes 1000 usd a month. when i get a job i'll start giving money but people seriously need to chip in, im not mad at sync at all i get it
I'm sorry but how is musescore going to shit? The online subscription is totally separate from the open source app which has had some major development lately and looks and functions amazing.
That being said I agree with your sentiment, the funding for these projects needs to be more robust.
Tantacrul is in charge of the UI/UX design now and his involvement is easily one of the best things to happen to musescore imo. It's actually super competitive to other scoring software now. Not that musescore was bad before, it was just super janky with some features. He said he's working on a redesign for audacity too which should be interesting.
The change from 3x to 4x was huge. It really looks professional now and is waaay less cludgey then before. I have been using it since the 2x days and hoo boy it's so much better now.
The audacity redesign sounds really cool! That's another program which has lasted the test of time and I would be interested to see how they modify the interface.
