[Discontinued] Why actually?

    Helpful was my baby, a baby I wanted, but no longer had time for. Unfortunately, the baby is very frequently sick. Currently, it seems that there are security holes and certain things are no longer allowed on www.remarpro.com.

    These points are currently problematic with Helpful:

    1. Update the version that Helpful was tested with.
    2. Load all scripts that WordPress already has, via WordPress (jQuery UI).
    3. Load all external content (CDN) locally, so include it directly in Helpful.

    This doesn’t look like the hardest things to do, but I just don’t have the time. The question is, in the connection, whether something is not criticized again.

    Since I do Helpful alone and get hardly any help despite open source, I have to stop the plugin because I don’t have the time to resolve the problems.

  • Thank you @pixelbart for your efforts to create and maintain this plugin. Despite small issues, I found it very useful overall and will miss it.

    Thanks, I loved the plugin and I’ll miss it too :/

    Thank you for all the work you put into this project! I liked it a lot while it lasted.
    It sucks that it had that small user base, otherwise I would love to take over the development of it. Still, I will think about it.

    I would really like this back. Please comment in this thread, if it happens ??

    Thanks @pixelbart for the amazing plugin.
    Will you change you mind and keep this baby going for couple of more months if you have help fixing those security issues and testing?

    Gib dein Baby doch bitte nicht so schnell auf!
    Es gibt doch bestimmt die M?glichkeit, mit ein paar exklusiven Funktionen eine Pro-Version zu erstellen, die dann auch deine Arbeit finanzieren k?nnten.
    Das Plug-in hat schon über 100.000 Downloads, das w?re echt Schade!

    Thanks for the great plugin. Sad to see it go. If possible, please do make the last version available for download on the website… in case anyone needs it. Or a link to a GitHub repo where the last version can be downloaded, or for someone to fork it.
