## App development
|
|
|
|
VDownload is a project, which I develop in my free time as a hobby and a form of learning.
|
|
|
|
As the application is not 100% resistant to external factors (e.g. changes in APIs) and to be fair to creators and video services, it is available for free.
|
|
|
|
If you want to support me and the development of the project you can:
|
|
- **Donate me** via Paypal (link in the "Sponsor this project" section in Github repository and in the app itself in the "About" page)
|
|
- **Report bugs and errors** in the "Issues" section of Github repository
|
|
- **Propose new features and support of video services** in the "Issues" section of Github repository
|
|
- **Translate the application into a language you know**
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### App development status
|
|
|
|
At the moment, the application is in the **early stage of development**. Only source code is available to download. Check "App development plans" to learn about further project development plans.
