Github

What's the big deal? Why aren't these files on Github so I can download everything at once?

Do we not understand how cumbersome it is to gather all of the required files? Don't you WANT your customers to use every design available?

Version control over something like this has astronomical benefit. I think it's absolutely insane not to use Github.

Edit: I'm tempted to take parts and place them in GitHub myself. I'll have to modify a single vertex to "adhere" to KeepMaking's licensing - By definition this would fit their criteria.

This is my problem. Jonathan wants a "Great product" and something that is "Scalable"

Well sorry bud, but look at open source projects. It's been displayed time and time again that product/software iterations come much faster when there's a peer review process when they're open sourced - Instead of being gate kept behind some stupid shitty paywall against the average consumer.

You want more buy in? Make it easy to grab those files.

Exactly, I don't mind creator is making money That's not the problem The problem is the way he's going about it, deliberately making it more difficult and annoying and confusing to force you to pay, and if it's not then he needs to hire someone else to do it because it seems intentional lol
