Short Version: The code was removed to avoid people forking it, and implementing it in their own copycat app with the use of AI.
It's not that I have a problem with people using AI. I use AI for help as well. People using the source to adapt the tool to their needs are welcome and can still use the code.
I have a problem with users forking to simply reskin without an ounce of work, simply using AI generated theme (**** eyesore), change the name, remove my name from the app and re upload it as their own.
Now I know my other project and website is built with AI themes because they were made when I was sick and couldn't really sit for long on the workstation. And I know their UI but specially the UX and accessibility sucks terribly. They are being remade.
Good luck with accessibility and readability on those, It took me weeks alone to properly research the UI, and days of testing.
The license does not allow a person to do that, however, a license is only as good as the developer's power to enforce it. So as sole developer who isn't making money out of the app, I had to move the code off the platform. The source code is still available to be viewed and scrutinised at SOURCE CODE
The link has bot firewall enabled to make it harder for the copycats.
Well the app was always aimed at regular users first. And while GitHub has become second nature to use, regular everyday users don't even have an account.
By putting the "report a problem" and "request a feature" button right inside the app, that takes you to the website form, its easier for everyone to file a bug report. Clicking the inbuilt button also exports log and relevant data to the desktop, so a user just have to upload it along with describing their problems. No account or technical knowledge needed.
A custom built kanban style board that's easy to understand, tracks bugs and features and can be viewed across versions.
