I really knows what you are talking about.
But nobody in the world can motivate you if you lost interest (Some also very
good guys have stopped their working in the past).
You have at least two fans (you mentioned them) for your work and your efford
you have already done.
Personally I would be very sad to see you leaving.
I have done also much more parts in the past than the last months. I had been
demotivating by your very good work in such a short time.
What do you think - how many post I got for DATHeader or the several other apps
around LDraw that I wrote ?
It has been only two from users. If I look at download counter I know there are
many more people that have at least give it a try.
So, if you are demotivated in the moment - ok, we have to live with that. But
keep in mind, we are a internet community. I know the internet from giving me
what I am searching for. If I do not get what I want from the one page I go to
the next page. I do not ask the guys from the first page 'why do you don't
have...' I just switch. It is anonymous.
Saying that means you need to have fun to do what you do. Do not expect any
gold-medal from the audience. Then you love every single feedback.

| (...) Maybe it'd be possible to have some kind of download counters to the part pages on the parts tracker as well? -Santeri (15 years ago, 5-May-10, to lugnet.cad)
