UltraJones has been kind enough to place the Ultra suite of programs out there in a donations-only fashion.
For those of you who run the Ultra suite of programs, you know that it blows the clunky on/off web pages of HomeSeer away. Even non-techies that see it go ooh and ahh. It takes HomeSeers old-fashion web interface and makes it state-of-the-art. And, not only is it cool to look at, it is actually much more usable than the HomeSeer interface. With one glance, you can see the status of your entire house (or at least one floor of it).
This does not come easy. Anyone who has worked with the code knows that there has been a great deal of time and effort put into this project by UltraJones. And it just gets better every day.
I do not know UltraJones personally and have only shared a couple of emails and a few board messages with him. In no way do I benefit from this message nor does UltraJones even know that I am writing it.
So here it is.. If you use the Ultra suite regularly, please donate to UltraJones. We want to see the Ultra suite continue so it is only fair that we make it worth UltraJones' time and effort. After all, this is not his day job. Plus, there are MANY other plug-ins that are not nearly as worthy that force you to pay.
I know that if I was the developer of a project this size and was generous enough to not force a $40 price tag down everybody's throat and people didn't pay, I would probably get discouraged enough to give up. I'm not saying that's what UltraJones will do.. I am in no way authorized to speak for him. I'm just saying how I would feel.
BE FAIR.. DONATE!!
Does anyone know how many people actually use the Ultra suite?
Thanks,
Rog
