Me gusta por lo sencillo que es, ¡Sigue trabajando asi!
Hello there,
I'm sorry you are getting this message.
What software did you use to scan it?
There is a public GitHub of the project I will be adding to here so you can look over the code.
If you have any other problems please let us know.
Best regards,
Dev Team
Came up while downloading, Opera GX spotted it while downloading
Oh. I'm sorry Opera GX flagged it.
The app was built with the WPF template, using Material Design Themes and Colors for the styling and colors, then published using Visual Studio 2022.
I don't know why the app is getting flagged. I will look into why this is happening and make a dev log post about what I find.
In the meantime, feel free to build the project from the GitHub repository if you would like.
Thank you for letting me know about this.
I re-downloaded it and it didn’t get flagged, but I also want to apologize as I didn’t do my due diligence and uploading to Virus Total.
I had a look at the app, and I like that it comes with the examples.
Though if you could add Markdown(*.md) saving I’d love to see it have that. <3 Great work!
Thank you for the re-download. It's okay, I realize that there are lots of scams and issues out there and it is good to keep vigilant, and I'm glad I was able to make a post about it too.
I am very happy you like the app and the examples. I hope it helps in many projects.
Perhaps this can also be a pseudo forms in the future if this app gets popular enough. Though I'm not doing much for marketing.
I was thinking about that but wasn't sure about the demand yet. I should be able to add that feature really soon. Thank you for the request.
