Blink Shell, Build & Code

Durch die Umstellung auf Abomodell zeigt der Entwickler das man ihm als Kunde nicht vertrauen kann. Gekaufte Software wird plötzlich wertlos. Ich verzichte gerne auf Software wo die langfristigen Kosten nicht kalkulierbar sind. Was passiert wenn der Entwickler demnächst 100€ pro Monat verlangt, weil seine Kunden in seiner Software gefangen sind?

Gutes Tool, damals für 20 € erhältlich. Mittlerweile fast 10 € pro Monat. Die Alte Version funktioniert nicht mehr richtig und wird auch nicht mehr zum Download angeboten. Danke für nichts!

The app has some great approaches, but with the on screen keyboard difficult to use. Especially the VScode editor. For a on screen keyboard only user like me, there are better SSH app end the usage of VScode through the browser is much fore comfortable. Most annoying issue: the hassle with close tabs and windows.

I don’t get how the app I had purchased before suddenly requires subscription.

For me no longer usable.

Already paid for the app and now the developer wants me to subscribe because I didn’t complete the migration from the „legacy“ version fast enough.

Requires a subscription now with no options to continue use as it was. Pretty disappointing change. Deleting the app and looking for alternatives.

Not usable anymore without paying for a subscription

The new experimental feature to resolve IP addresses locally or remote broke the app. When I try to connect via MOSH, I get the error “Could not resolve address locally for host.” I never activated any experimental feature, it was activated without my consent! When I try to select “none” or “remote” in Advanced settings in the host alias, this is only saved for one alias. As soon as I set it for another alias, the setting vanishes for the first. With no selection shown (no tick behind either none, local, or remote), the app defaults to the experimental method “local”, which causes a disconnected mosh-server process on the host, and the error message in the client. Even worse, most of the time when I now try to open the config menu and click on a host alias to at least temporarily disable the “feature”, the whole app immediately crashes to desktop. This completely broke my setup, I can no longer use MOSH at all. Why did I pay good money to get a MOSH app, when only SSH still works a few months later? How can an experimental feature like this be rolled out without at least making sure it will not activate itself, be impossible to deactivate, break existing setups, and cause random crashes? This points to a highly irresponsible and unprofessional development process. Do not buy this app right now if you want to use it for MOSH, chances are high it will not work for you either!

I mean, really? For a shell? Bad move, will not even bother with reading what this subs offer. Long time user.
