DeskNotes - it's free

Well I spent days, months, years developing this as a part time project and now it's reached it's end. This isn't an end I hoped for but, due to hardware failure and incompetence, the source code is lost never to return.

Because I can't support this as a commercial product any more, I've decided to make it freely available. You can get details here.

In the past I may have sent some source code to people (probably an earlier demo or with something broken). If anyone has this and can make it available then please do. People may then use it as a learning tool.

Anyway, enjoy and adios!

I want to take the opportunity and send a big THANKS !!! out to You for all that You have done for DX. Unfortunately it seems not to pay out very good. Either in money nor in what Stardock learned from that.

This was an amazing suite when it was released and it's too bad that it was not a commercial success.  It should have been.  The demise of desktopgadgets.com likely didn't help.  

<X3 :annoyed:

To echo Carl. thanks again for all you have done with DX.  You and your scripts made a good app great.  :)

It's a shame that you couldn't make a go of it. Thanks a lot from me as well for all that you've done for DesktopX, and for making this great project a available.

Hi,

Thanks guys for the kind words. Yes - I became a bit disillusioned with the whole DesktopX thing quite a while ago - not with the product but rather the frustration that it would never reach its full potential.

I think Stardock's focus is a long way away from DesktopX and whilst I had hope that development would be picked up that appears not to be the case. I don't necessarily blame Stardock for this - it's just a case of resources and financial return on projects.

The development community hasn't helped itself hugely however by churning out the same old objects year after year (with a few exceptions) and this is something that we should all reflect on. These things are 2 way and we can't just expect people to provide for us if we don't embrace the tools we are given.

So no - "adios" isn't necessarily goodbye, "au revoir" is probably a better choice.
