MVD is an incredible application! I have looked around as I'm sure many of you have too, and there is nothing that really compares with it. Everything else is very expensive and "online." I don't want an online or web based application - especially if I am paying $10 or more Dollars/Euros a month subscription. I cannot afford that. But, what I can afford is to pay a reasonable amount for MVD upgrades.
MVD is, in my humble opinion, undervalued. It is very inexpensive, perhaps too inexpensive and when compared with popular other near no-code database applications is a fraction of their cost (Filemaker, Ninox, Airtable, Access - and some of these aren't anywhere close to "no-code").
Perhaps if the application was priced according to its truer worth, development would continue because that would be the ultimate incentive to do so.
Of course, nobody wants to pay more, but if you look at any alternatives near or far to what MVD brings in technology and capability, then a modest increase is justified - if it can bring the next release closer to fruition.
I also think that more could be done to publicize MVD to a broader audience. How about a FaceBook page? I know, I'm not a FB person, but I do use it for my hobby related items - in fact support from some very technical tools is provided by an FB group - I just don't use FB for "social" reasons.
Anyway, my point is that there isn't anything focused on Rapid Application Development for databases quite like MVD - it is unique, it is polished, it is powerful. I'm ready to support the next version regardless of however small with a payment.
