I share this status update from GTA announcements on his known free open source project Xtream UI ....

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to drop by and write a quick post on where everything is.
Firstly, I need to reiterate that I do not do this for money, however as you can imagine, donations have slowed down drastically as most people who want the software have already donated and have access to it. That's fine, I said from the beginning that donator access is a lifetime deal and you are under no obligation to donate again and I still mean that so don't worry. I just wanted to stress this point.
With the influx of donations in the beginning, this gave me a lot of room for manoeuvre in my own life to dedicate time to updating and improving Xtream UI, with frequent releases, this in turn set me back quite dramatically in my actual real life job but I could justify it as I was essentially being paid to do so. Now that the donations have slowed down I have to look at rectifying my backlog in work as I'm currently at risk of losing what I've worked hard for due to making Xtream UI my priority for these last few months.
So I want to apologise that updates have been slow as of late, but I've needed to take a look at what I'm doing as a side project and not something that is a career path or will go on indefinitely, this doesn't mean there won't be updates however, I'm closing in on a new release and just have to fix a few bugs before it's ready, but please understand that if there's no update for a while it's because I'm trying to focus on my real life.
This is not a call for more donations by the way, please don't do that as it won't change anything. I need to reset my priorities and focus on my work and well-being while still providing you guys with updates when I can commit time to the cause.
With that, I should probably move this out of donation access soon, and if there are PHP programmers here we can coalesce to provide more updates as a community instead of a one man band. PM me if you're interested.
Thanks everyone
