      Sorry if this demontivates anyone, but I thought I should mention it here anyway. I stumbled across a fork of MagicMirror²: https://github.com/hangorazvan/MagicMirror2. Forks are basically not a problem, but the creator rails against MagicMirror² and the developers. I have not seen anything like this before :-(

      based on MagicMirror² open source core framework unfortunately full of bugs from amateur “developers”… NO FUCKING THANK YOU FART OLD MAN!

      Why is he forking if it’s so bad? And why doesn’t he make pull requests? Has anyone seen a pull request from him? Can he do that with the other license?

        @kristjanesperanto yes, the license is anything goes, as long as it is kept open (my reading).

        but he right on one point, MOST of us are not professional developers.

        that being said. without us ‘unprofessional’ contributors, mm wouldn’t be where it is today.

        can’t have it both ways

          That even non-professionals can participate, makes MagicMirror² an exemplary community project. He obviously doesn’t seem to understand that.

          All the effort he put into his fork could have been put into the project. That would be much more durable. Apparently, not all people are good at teamwork…

            We can’t know what kind of problems people have to deal with in real life. This does not excuse such behavior, but perhaps makes it more understandable.

            To bring in a positive aspect: I am excited about the project and the community that has formed around it. Thanks to all who contributed!

                You’re right. I close the topic, then we can invest our time in other things :-)

                  Oh, apparently you can’t set discussion topics to resolved. Or I can’t find the button for it ^^

                    @kristjanesperanto I’m sorry to contradict you but my project is not a fork, it’s just an adaptation, and what I write in the repository I think does not affect anyone who knows how to think, that is exactly what I wrote in capital letters
