Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

Some ideas/suggestions

This issue is marked as solved
Ideas and suggestions for BankPipe I have.

1. Adding a custom page for subscriptions where you can for example add vertical or horizontal layout with item and description + add to cart button. (Example: https://i.postimg.cc/7hkxMLyy/image-242.png)
2. Add fast checkout button. For example when click add to cart, next to it should be checkout button instead of clicking link cart and then checkout.
3. Gift upgrade to user. If I want to upgrade my friend, there should be an option to "Gift this" or something where you can enter someone's username and they will receive an upgrade if they don't have it.

I would like to discuss about the fast checkout option. Since multiple gateways are now supported by BankPipe, it would be kind of difficult to let the user pick one in the same page the user is watching (eg.: the subscriptions page). In my mind, a fast checkout button would just redirect the user to the Cart where he can pick the gateway he wants. Is this what you are asking?

Yes, it can work like that.

Buttons order:
Add to cart || Fast checkout
^^^ Button 1 || ^^^ Button 2
Button 1 is clicked (focused via CSS) then checkout button2 appears below it or next to it

Subscriptions will be moved permanently to SITE/bankpipe.php. Maintaining two separate pages is not convenient. A separate page allows for an enhanced customizable experience.
