No; don't just accept bad software design as a given. The *first* thing
I did when I started my newsreader to decouple the NNTP bits into their
own framework, and even in there I have the parts that care about
communicating with the server abstracted away from the core
functionality of dealing with messages. That is why I expect my reader
to be able to more easily support POP or IMAP (or just about anything
else that can be massaged into a message) in the future or, on the flip
side, re-use that NNTP framework for other apps or command line tools.
Your "Of course not" explains why things like curl lack support for news
or nntp URL schemes, and why Usenet continues to slide into obscurity.
Your casual negligence is embarrassing.

It could be, if developers had half a clue. One look at the tin source
shows that nobody that apparently cares to make things easy for
outsiders to pick up. I mean, for goodness sake, would calling an
article more than "art" kill you? And that's hardly even the tip of the
tip of the *tip* of the iceberg.

Yes, the battle cry of most mis-managed open software projects: It works
well . . . until it doesn't work at all. Look, like the OpenSSL coders,
need to take a step back and see what you've done with a fresh set of
eyes, and start making changes that make your past efforts more useful
to today's users and developers.
My experience with open source projects is that they won't do that,
which is why I find myself having to re-code things that should have
been taken care of decades ago. I mean, even your newsrc handling is
awful. I could have taken the time to figure out how to apply your
junky ol' code to what I want, or I could do what I ended up doing, and
essentially run the file through an NSScanner to construct an NSIndexSet
of read articles for each group. You have no equivalent higher-level
concepts for parsing strings or article ranges (which tin code calls
bitmap sequences, for some strange, non-self-documenting reason).
That's only "works well" by some 1980s definition of the phrase.

As long as you believe that, your software will continue to slide into
irrelevance. In reality, Usenet is abstractly a CDN. And the people
who use it deserve to be more than a few characters in a From: header.
The truth is more likely that you *want* to keep newsreaders stuck in
the terminal because you're either unwilling or unable to envision a
better future for the technology. That's sad, and it's a shame that
your efforts with tin will be lost in time rather than having been
something that future generations could build on.

Which is why I've taken on the fool's errand of re-writing things
myself. If there's enough support, it'll be released as open source.
Given the state of Usenet these days, though, I'm not expecting to even
break even on my efforts.

Not nearly as much as you think. Speaking from experience, as an
outsider, the code is *at best* not useful and, at worst, exhibits signs
of deranged minds. Go ahead and try and talk your tin friends into
getting them to factor out a libnntp that can used, at the very least,
to simply process Usenet URLs. Until that sort of thing is eagerly
embraced, you should gravely doubt the usefulness of tin source code in
the future.
Again, I know that all reads as more hostile than intended. Like I
said, my experience with poorly run software development is that the
people involved aren't interested in fixing what's wrong, and so I
prefer not to get involved with their mutual back-patting sessions. I
just laugh and walk away from "brogrammers" who think committing code is
the most important thing in the world, yet the code they're cranking out
is all garbage that they think "works, and works well".

Then get enough people together to pony up the development costs, either
through crowd funding or just write a big check yourself. The way it's
looking, version 1.0 is going to be at least $20K of effort. If someone
wants to organize a Kickstarter (or whatever) at $50K to make it an
ongoing effort, great; let me know. Otherwise, I'm planning to put it
on the App Store for $10, but I have zero expectation that it'll be
popular enough to cover costs.

Not open sourced as a result. Not even the app being free. It looks
like it was just a form of pre-order. Seems like a bit of a rip to me.

Blame the developers. They could release two related apps, like the
free TextWrangler and the paid BBEdit. Or the app itself can be made
free and offer in-app purchases that unlock the "full" version. But
then people complain about being nickle-and-dimed to death, so there's
no winning.

It's easily the best, and best supported, OS X user agent.
Plus, the guy was 100% clear about where the money is going.
Not to mention it was an already existing program people
could evaluate before tossing any money at it.
Where's the rip in that?

Can time-limited trials of the "full" version be offered? No.
You may blame Apple for that.

So it's just not that interesting. Pre-orders have been around for
ages. My ideal in crowdfunding is to offer people something they don't
usually get from a company. I mean, if all the costs are covered before
work even begins, it just doesn't seem right to *not* give away the
software for free, and possibly go the extra mile of open sourcing the
efforts. I mean, in any other contract work for hire that I do, I don't
get to keep the code, so I'd have to be a pretty big dick to treat
*people* worse than I treat *companies*.

It's a general problem with crowdfunding, not that particular project.
When the costs are covered ahead of time, there is no risk taken on by
the project. A decent person/company would offer something in return
for that, not just a $50 value for your $50 investment. Possibly,
maybe, that is, unless the project fails to deliver or was an outright
scam from the beginning.

Again, not true. Anyone who could bother to support switches for in-app
purchases and/or subscriptions can just as easily turn things on/off
based on time. There are *thousands* of games that ship with a
"freemium" model that starts off with all gauges on MAX and then slowly
degrade based on usage. All evidence is against your position.

I'm not sure how. You can either pay them directly for a $50 license or
go through crowdfunding to pay $50 for a license. What am I missing?

Nothing. I'm not running a crowdfunding campaign. But, if someone
wanted to run one for me, I would do just as I've said: consider it a
work for hire, put out the app for free to everyone, and make the source
code available.

I've read it many times. You might want to state exactly where you
think thousands of approved games have gone wrong.

Where are the thousands of approved free trials of non-game programs?

That's great, but it doesn't address my issue. It just doesn't seem to
be in the (ideal) spirt of crowdfunding to simply use it as a pre-order
mechanism. Or perhaps times have changed already and that's all
crowdfunding has become. Somebody let me know, because I'd be much
happier if I could get people to fund my work ahead of time while I
could bank all the dough and in the end only give them the product they
would have gotten if they'd just waited a bit.

Don't know. It's hard to find useful non-game software in the App
Store. Here's one:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ican-print/id448566661?mt=8
"There are free trial points. After trial points are exhausted, print is
NOT FREE."
Now stop moving the goal posts, simply admit you were mistaken, and
change your position. If you can't, I'm done with you.

Well, Kickstarter is usually the mechanism that's used in this instance. Except you don't get the money unless you reach the fundraising goal. I've pledged $25 or $50 to non-profits or comicbook projects and they've made their targets within the allotted time-frame. Then my card got charged. A couple web-movies didn't make it. Indiegogo is another site that does crowd funding. Both these sites have some safeguards for fraud, but it's not perfect. There's nothing to prevent a crowdfunder from just going off to Belize with the money collected. One state AG is going after a Kickstart scammer currently. Paying ahead of time for development is a dicey thing. I pledged $100 to the guy that did LavaBit because he want to make the former service that the Feds wanted to pen/trap into DarkMail, an OpenSource version of the service. But the project was funded. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ladar/lavabits-dark-mail-initiative If he can do it, maybe you can to. I don't know what safeguards against fraud there are, but you may not see the money until the project is "delivered". So it's more like a loan than a prepayment. -- DeeDee, don't press that button!

Hmmm. Definitely food for thought. I may look into it further, but I
still would want to work out what I can offer funders that is more
encouraging than the common "wait for months before you get anything
useful".

There are things which can't be created unless they are funded up front. For example, most of my uses are for web comic artists who can not print up books unless they have the cash on hand to pay for a 2000 copy print run. I pledge my money, and later get the book.

Right; that makes sense to me. Software development is a different
beast, though, especially when a company has a 1.x version already
selling.
It probably also doesn't help that I proposed an open software project
to Kickstarter way back in 2010 when they were just beginning and they
said it wasn't a fit. That soured my view, but maybe I need to reassess.

If you could read, you'd know the wait would been considerably longer.

That's not great, nor does it address my issue. Where's the free trial
of something even remotely close to the newsreader you're writing? You
know - any sort of real program, that runs on something besides a phone.
