Observations:

• 👎Support is drying again. I wonder why – but I am guessing one reason could be that I have been quite non-active in Youtube and other social media.
• 👍Nevertheless, I have been able to maintain AndBible by fixing bugs and responding to user emails.
• 👍 App is still great, even with less development 🙂
• If the amount of support increases by time, I will be able to spend significantly more hours on developing AndBible.

Breakdown of tasks (December 2023-September 2024)

In December 2023, I started timing different tasks so that it is possible to analyze how the hours have been used. Here is the breakdown how paid hours were used:

Paid tasks	Dec 2023	Q1/2024	Q2/2024	Q3/2024	Total
Support	3.82	1.48	5.42	7.28	18.59
Maintenance	8.03	0.92	14.57	6.25	29.77
Feature	2.13	0	15.05	0.00	17.18
Reviewing contributor’s code	0	0	0	2.28	2.28
Total	13.98	2.4	35.04	16.40	67.28

In other words, in Q4 statistics look like this:

• Support (help.andbible@gmail.com email mainly): 7.28 hours = 48%
• Maintenance tasks (bug fixing etc): 29.77 hours = 38.1 %
• New feature development: 0 hours = 0 %
• Reviewing contributor’s code: 2.28 hours = 13.9%

Closing words

I want to thank every AndBible sponsor for making it possible to keep the app well maintained, supported and developing.
