There are many B4X wishes that seem to get lost in the mists of time.

This got me thinking, would people be open to sponsoring these feature requests? Ive seen this work in the open source community where a user/company will pay for a feature to get developed.

Obviously this would depend on Erel but would people be supportive of this?

As soon as we are talkung about Money we talk about Business.
So Costs / benefits are the Number 1.
Means for me OK When the usbilty is topping the costs ;-)

Agree, as with anything there needs to be

#1 Enough interest in the "wish"
#2 Enough people pledging/sponsoring

Another software I use, has an "Ideas" page (similar to wishes) where users can upvote ideas more formally. Ideas with lots of upvotes get prioritised by the develoeprs.

Crowdfunding is a good idea (B4W) ?

Yeah, I've heard these called "code bounties." I think a crowdfunding platform could handle it.

I thought about this too

What do you think about crowdfunding libraries?

I know this is a complex issue, but, who knows, it could work. There could be, for example, a dedicated forum for proposing libraries for wrapping. The proposal could come from the developer, to see how many people are interested; or from an user, to see how many developers would be willing to...

Umm An Intregated IDE-RAD from B4X for Web Development (html & css editors, backend scripts editors , interactive debug cycle). I know it is a complex task for creating a full root stack tool but it is just a wish. I already read about Banano and ABW, but I love the power and simplicity of B4X tools.
