EventBox MacHeist
You might have noticed that we’re featured on MacHeist and it’s a free download. I expect many people to ask the question why buy it then? Here’s the short answer: the MacHeist Edition of EventBox is not the same as regular EventBox. Here are the reasons:
- The MacHeist edition includes no official support whatsoever. If you’re having a problem or want to request a feature, you’re probably out of luck.
- Most importantly, the MacHeist edition includes no updates at all. This means you’re forever stuck at build 566. Since we’re planning on adding many many new features in the future, you’re essentially going to be running an ancient version. I’m talking about syncing, multiple accounts, TwitPic, centralized notifications, more services. We will be adding TONS of new stuff. And this is only up until version 1.0. We’re planning to have a very long 1.x series, so buying EventBox now will last you at least 1.5-2 years.
- We’ve got permission from Digg and we will be returning their plugin as soon as possible. You won’t be able to use Digg from the MacHeist edition.
I hope that clears things up.
