But he also encourages you to not promote or attempt to sell closed source software in this forum.

Please see again the first (and second) sentence of my first post:

Donation-ware as idoit suggests is alright - most open source licenses allow for donation-ware.

Plus, the use of Mobileread to promote the use and sale of for-sale software by the author or publisher is subject to the Mobileread guidelines. Please see section 5:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/faq...ing_guidelines

There is a forum at this Mobileread site for that purpose, and this technical forum is not it.

Absolutely.
@nahte: I am available if you need help. This time not just as a reverse engineer of your code (which is done good quality by the way), but as contributer. Let me know if you want to go in the path I and knc1 are saying and MobileRead promotes.

I can provide you folks with a secure e-mail (and site) that does work between the black-listed parts of China and the rest of the world.

PM me if interested.

http://webchat.mobileread.com/ then type #kindle-dev
(i.e. https://irc.mr.gd/)
or
https://kiwiirc.com/client

or:
Install mIRC or any other IRC client. Pretty easy.

I will need some time to remove files from the last (commercial) user of the site, but the landing page is at:
https://gunshi.org/
Graphics and open source package integration by TwoBob.

@nahte: If you can't access that landing page without using a vpn or proxy - let me know.

Ignore this (and similar):

Any such site is selling his free music without paying any royalties. The scum.

As I mentioned, that IRC is quiet at best. I think I provided my contact info there.
Mind you, I'll be a tad busy over the coming weeks but I'd be still interested to see where this thing goes.

Notes

- Still Building, so I need the access to edit this post in the future. (Why I can't edit it sometimes?)
- Not clear how to push commit to github from Linux, using webpage to commit now.
- Contributor is welcome.
- Have not done opensource work before, suggestion is welcome.

[thatworkshop]

Good move. Thanks for accepting my suggestion. Very nice job indeed.

Which flavor of Linux are you in? Git is in most their repositories. When installed, committing with git command is very easy.

You *should* be able to edit any of your own posts. Although there are limits on how many times you can edit within a span of time, and people who do a lot of editing often find themselves locked out for an hour or two.

- Not clear how to push commit to github from Linux, using webpage to commit now.

If you're new to git, maybe checkout this guidebook? https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-B...the-Repository

Note: git comes with a rough gui -- `git gui` to use -- although there are several other options here: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

...

GitEye actually looks rather decent, I must say.
For a GUI, anyway. I must confess I still prefer using the CLI.

Also, I suggest including the bin directory for an already compiled mylcd.

[eschwartz]

Don't version-track generated resources just for the convenience of people without a compiler. It pointlessly grows the size of a repository and forever after you will have random binaries floating around in your history.
Over time that builds up and the repo becomes unbearable to clone.

Use the Releases feature to offer downloads linked to a release tag.
