I’m already 35 years old (as of todayġ9.02.21) and have a job and a family of my own.
Q: Well in that case how can I trust you that you won’t take our money and leave?Ī: Well, I can’t promise you that I will keep working on this (and other plugins) all my life. Not only as a capitalist, lucrative move. So here we are today, I’m asking of you, if you like or liked the Material Theme, see this as a token of appreciation for all the work done, But after 4 years, I think I should be allowed to think about myself for a bit.

Therefore, it requires constant maintenance, constantly checking what’s new and what’s broken and fix it accordingly. JetBrains IDEs (but VSCode, Sublime, etc as well). You see, unlike operating systems that change once every two years or so, IDEs and Editors evolve all the time, especially Q: Why did the plugin switched to a subscription system rather than a one-off payment?Ī: While this might be the de-facto solution for other products like apps, for IDE plugins it is another story. This post will hopefully shed some light about the new pricing model for the Material Theme UI plugin.īut first let me address some points in the form of Q & A: java: 104)įollowing exceptions happened soon after this one, most probably they are induced.Ĭom.
