Question for you all

Hi Pythonista fans,

I wanted to ask, kind of like a poll / discussion..

Are you building apps for:

  1. To build a paid app in the app store
  2. To build a free app in the app store
  3. Open source!
  4. Just for fun - I may open source it or sell it, who knows
  5. Just for fun! And I don't like to share code

Just curious.

I am for #3, although I've not released the majority of my code, it's because I am an OCD, ADHD perfectionist who can't stop obsessing over minor details.

I'm #6 For fun and usual tasks. My personal challenge is to replace my PC/Mac by my iPad.
Agree to share sources but I don't want to maintain my scripts.

@cvp

I wish I could replace my PC with my iPad, but I have too much interest in things like golang, and native hacks for Mac/PC.

ie - I am very slowly developing a "pyenv" equivalent written in PowerShell, including hooking into Set-Location to check for a .python-version file.

The lack of support for a mouse does take away using RDP (which is what I'd rather do), and setting Windows into tablet mode is annoying at best.

I doubt Apple will setup Mouse Support.

For WINDOWS I could use a citrix solution ($100 USD for software, $100 USD for Mouse)

But that won't solve my issues just yet, so, I must still keep both.
