In 2021 I started keeping track of ā€œthank youā€ emails and donations that I received for my open source software. This page is a compilation of that feedback. Itā€™s a nice place I can turn to when Iā€™m not feeling motivated, or when I need a pick-me-up.

Donations and thank you emails from the community

Thank you email from Ilona Chodnicka for my Windows Scheduled Tasks Azure DevOps Extension šŸ˜Š

Hello Daniel

I used your Windows scheduled tasks extension for Azure DevOps at Capstone Logistics in the US, way back when, and I liked it very much.

Iā€™m about to use it again at Cymax - we are in Vancouver, Canada. Iā€™m very happy that itā€™s actively maintained.

My manager is definitely intrigued as currently all of our scheduled tasks are set up by hand.

Iā€™m looking forward to setting it all up for us via a pipeline and I thank you (again) for your great work.

Thanks, Daniel! Used it to see if I had any file names over 260 characters before doing my first OneDrive Desktop backup. Found 2 files. Super easy GUI interface. Super fast. Just what I needed.

Just to say thanks ā€“ what an excellent tool your Path Length Checker is. We are, at long last, starting to sort out our extensive collection of digital images and the Checker is most helpful!

Hi Daniel,

As a notorious ā€˜meeting misserā€™ due to not paying enough attention to my calendar and missing notifications from Outlook itself (cause they were not enough ā€˜in my faceā€™) I just wanted to say a big thank you for creating the ā€œNotify When Microsoft Outlook Reminder Window Is Openā€. Its really the type of reminder I need to be sure I donā€™t miss the next meeting :) I donated you a ā€˜toonieā€™, so enjoy your next coffee, itā€™s on me ;)

Regards, Erik

Hi Daniel! I came across your blog post about saving object data to a binary file in c# while I was searching for an easy way to properly save instances of objects in c# for a MonoGame project Iā€™ve been working on for a while, and itā€™s been incredibly helpful! I just wanted to send out a thank you for putting that tool out there!

Much love from PEI, Canada,

Dā€™Anyil (Yes, pronounced the same as your name!)
