Help to develop SoundTouch 3
Donation protected
Thanks for taking the time to read my GoFundMe posting. I would like to take a little time to explain the background for this funding request.
In 2014, I went through divorce proceedings, the result of this, was that I am now a single father, with three young children. Taking care of three children, and trying to fit in a full time job, is simply impossible. As a software developer, I am expected to be available at the drop of a hat, to put in extra hours, and reach project goals. This of course, is something I cannot commit too, as I have to ensure that I am available to take care of my children whenever they need me.
I have tried finding a part-time job. However, many part-time software development jobs are very low paying. In most cases it means working for a startup, with little funding, which means job security is not guaranteed. This again, is contra to my needs as a single parent.
I decided I wanted to do something that would a) give me my dignity back and b) make sure I had the free time to look after my children. So I decided to try to become a self-employed software developer. This has worked out fairly well for me so far, up to a point.
I have created a state of the art software product, that has been very well received. The application is used to remove Cinavia watermark protection from DVD and Blue-ray disks, named SoundTouch.
SoundTouch is currently in version 2. This version works well, and has been very successful so far. However, technology moves forward, and I now need to redevelop some of the application to update it and keep it relevant. I basically need to develop SoundTouch version 3.
And now we come to the problem. I simply cannot afford to commit my finite personal resources to improving and perfecting this product. I am short on funding, and need to try and bring some in to get me through the downtime of a long development stage. This is why I am posting this funding request.
If you would like to know a little more about who I am, and the software I develop before making a decision, then please visit my website at http://www.cinexhd2.com
