They didn’t fork it, so that people don’t realize it’s a fork of another project.
They also changed their README file to point to their own zip file, which I’m not downloading, and neither should you. I don’t know what’s in it.
They even created a website, hosted on GitHub Pages, for it, with a link to their “builds.”
That pisses me off. Really. I spent years building the app. I put a lot of my personal time into building it for me and for the community, only for someone to steal it as theirs, publish builds, and wipe my name from it.
Help me with a Star on the original project to keep it higher in search results. Thanks!

@chilli there is, it’s MIT. But clearly the intentions aren’t good. They created a website, uploaded builds (to to a release, but to the repo itself, hidden with other assets), and are pointing to the file in readme and website.

@otaviocc That is absolutely horrible to hear. I know you really worked so hard on that for such a long time. I really hate that people do shit like that, to other folks who work really hard to make new stuff.
Is there anyway you can go to Github and get them to be blocked it, kill it, or something?
@jarunmb I’m trying that. I’m collecting some evidences why I think they should be taken down.
Thanks for the coffees MB! I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

@chilli I am. I tried to post to the general channel and venting channels, but I’m having a hard time with the mobile safari. I’ll try again from my computer. But I tried to post there.
