Question: I'm currently feeling very stupid trying to understand and implement a paper on a thing I'm interested in (sorry I have to be vague there). This is compounded by having little time (and excess mental capacity) due to my day job. Has something similar happened to you? How do you rationalize it? Asked by 1123a (79.22.191.x) on July 30 2021, 4:42pm Reply on July 31 2021, 2:51am: Sure, I totally feel stupid all of the time. Well not all of the time, but often. I usually blame the explanations (too much assumed knowledge is definitely a problem!). ;) 1 Comment... Question: Q1. Advantages & disadvantages of making REAPER as open-source? Q2. As you are not a company, just two people developing REAPER. After decades when you both won't be here anymore (you know what I mean, oops sorry), then what will happen to REAPER software? Will it die that time or you have a plan to sell it to someone else whenever you finally decide to stop developing it? Asked by Two Questions! (223.177.3.x) on July 30 2021, 9:47am Reply on July 31 2021, 2:51am (edited at July 31 2021, 1:13pm): Making REAPER open-source would mean becoming less of a programmer and more of a maintainer/manager, which would be less enjoyable. We are a company. Comment... Question: Are you working on any new products unrelated to reaper?
