Productivity may go Open Source

We're considering making Productivity an open source application, in addition to being free. This means that we will host the source code of the application on a website, and you can view and modify it as per your needs.

We'd like your opinion on this matter about whether or not the application should go open source, and with a positive response, we'll take the required steps to do so.

Links to these source codes are given in the Readme file of the project. So what does this mean for you if you're not a developer? It simply means that although the app hasn't had many updates in quite a while, it's surely not a dead project, and we're simply reaching out to other dev

Apart from working on the app itself, we're also in the process of setting up our online profile, and the next thing is a Facebook page! To visit the page, click here. The Facebook page will be yet another source of updates about the app, so head over and like it! Apart from updates, we will also post about tips for the best use of the features to fully maximize how efficiently you work.
