Or maybe you consider open-source this project, let those who really want to add more new features and fix bugs to do your job, rather than getting paid and doing nothing. The developers of this project just don't actively respond to users' need. The development is so slow and I don't think they deserve the money. I guess the Mou developers don't use GitHub at all? So why the software don't support GitHub Flavored Ma…

Go to here via spam email from author. Feel sick about him.

Hi dear Hu Miao,

Sorry for disturbed you. We only send this news to those who have asked me for help previously.

Since you have emailed me a question about Mou in Augest 21, 2012 (I anwsered your question immediately), we thought you'd be interested in this news and you might be glad to help us.

I got an email from Mau about their fundraising campaign but the page their email linked to had a link to this HN article. Which is hilarious because (1) I got the backstory on Mau and this fundraising they are doing (which decreased my sympathy for them a lot, and (2) I discovered MacDown which crushes Mau. I opened 5 different README.md files and all of them were rendered much better by MacDown. Wow, what an F-up by the Mau people!

Please show some respect to the original design. Without the original work, the copycat you're mentioning won't even exist.

We're working on some killing features for Mou 1.0, we keep it secret, the copycat will never know until we ship it.

I use Mou every day as well. But the goal of this project seems very vague. Exactly what is going to be added in the "1.0" release? Mou works pretty well for me right now . What is going to be added that will make it worth my while sponsoring this project? The project vaguely states: "We'll pick the most wanted features from our contributors, implement them in 1.0." But there needs to be a little more meat here. What…

What bugs me is the developer hadn't touched Mou in a year and was trying to sell it at one point [1]. Then some developers decided to make an open source version of it called MacDown [2], which rubbed the Mou developer the wrong way, and he and his friends were bashing it as a blatant rip off of Mou [3]. The renewed interest in the project only seemed to come about when MacDown started getting traction. I've used Mo…

The developers are lazy about maintaining this software. It's not called 'stable'. I don't expect they would do better after this campaign. If you don't do it right, there is no reason to criticize others for doing it better.
