Today, the following happened in #projecthamster@freenode:
(13:40:31) Forage: It is unfortunate that I won't be able to see/use all the effort you've been putting into Hamster already until the complete suite is ready/up-to-speed (dbus+lib+GTK+extension) to help you on the testing/bug-tracking side, but to let you know people do care in the mean time: many thanks for the effort you are putting into the project and I can't wait to enjoy an improved UI
Unfortunately I was not around at the time, but I just wanted to say: thank you. Feedback like this matters and is truly heartwarming and a prime example of why working on a FLOSS project is just so much more rewarding.
Thanks for your patience, I think it is worth it :)
