Yours isn't OSS, meaning I have no idea what I'm running




OSS would be incredibly slow, also seems like overkill for this use case

I was going to buy the app, but these responses are putting me off massively. How would making it OSS slow it down?

I suspect, from the responses of the creator here, that this app they are selling is likely violating a number of open source licenses…

the obnoxious site deisgn and comments like this stopped me from clicking buy in the apple store

What does that even mean? Why would OSS make it slower? Why would it be an overkill? This is not Producthunt, you have to give at least some kind of explanation for your claims.

OSS as in open source software. Not Open Sound System. Just in case.

Can you back up your claim that it's slow?
