I have decided to discontinue my shareware GUI app for Fink, Phynchronicity, after six years of development. After some positive exposure and decent sales for a few years, the app's sales have dwindled down to almost nothing. Somewhat to my surprise, Phynchronicity never gained much traction against FinkCommander, which continues to get tons of downloads despite not really being updated for a decade. I suspect this has a lot to do with "free as in beer" (more than "free as in speech"). Also, of course, FC is a well--designed app even if it has not worn well in recent years.
While I don't plan to work on Phynchrronicity again, if anyone else from the FInk project is interested in working on it, I would consider open-sourcing it under a suitable license. Whoever takes up development will need advanced skills with Python, Tkinter, and Tcl/Tk. Feel free to contact me on or off-list if you'd like to discuss further.
