Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/739

I've been recently aware of some comments on some issues against this project. These comments are unhelpful or sarcastic, and to put it bluntly, they are just rude.

For the most part, the community here has been very supportive. It's a shame that some people lose sight of the big picture and expect the world on a silver platter. Let me reset your expectations a bit:

  1. Please be mindful that I'm not getting paid to make this software for anyone, especially you.

  2. Please be mindful that I'm just one guy working on this project. One guy with a family, a full-time job, a dog and a cat.

  3. Please be mindful that I don't have the time to solve your edge case scenario in a timeframe that suits you.

  4. Please be mindful that the choices made for this project might be for a specific reason. I cannot, and will not, accommodate everyone on the planet.

🧡 I want to thank everyone who has opened a PR to address issues they are able to help with and I especially want to thank everyone who already keeps these things in mind when logging their issues.

❤️ Even more so I want to thank those who have bought me a coffee, I really have zero expectations when it comes to making money from this project and those donations help support my Udemy learning :)

Thank you for all you do with this project. I like this project better than the swag. I prefer GUI better but learned a lot from doing it on the cli as well. Thank you.

I honestly cannot fathom how anyone would be rude towards a project that helps a lot, totally free and developed without pay.

To me personally, this is a work of art and I greatly appreciate it.

Best wishes.

Thank you so much for all the work you put in, seriously. It pisses me off to see entitled people crapping on your hard work.

Please don't take these comments seriously. Your software regularly helps me keep track of my homelab without going insane. I use it at work to manage test benches and I could not have asked for a better program.

Thank you again for everything that you do. I have a small question, where do I make a "Feature Suggestion" post? I imagine it does not go into the issues tab.

This project has made managing my home reverse proxy SSLs so much easier. Trust me when I say that the dissenters are only the loudest few. We appreciate all your hard work on this project.

Family always comes first. Cheers!

A big thanks to you and chapeau for all your work. I know it can be hard to ignore all the idiots on this world, but go forward and think of the people who really love this what you did...

I am using NPM and while it is missing a couple of "it would be cool ifs" it works great for it's intended purpose. Thank you for making this great tool public.

This is helpful free and open source... You have a life. If they don't like it who cares!!! Though I'm sure there are 100x more people who appreciate all the time you put in. The ******* people are always the minority.

If you have haters it means your doing something right!!!

@jc21
This is an awesome project and I am very grateful it exists!
Keep this up!
Will buy you a couple of coffees in the near future as soon as I've looked into what makes this tick along and my own built-from-scratch reverse proxy solution doesn't...

SO frustrating that people arent grateful for your hard work and instead bitch about their one unique problem.
Your work has really helped me understand reverse proxies as faced with old skool NGINX was incredibly daunting! This has made my life so much easier (and reduced my support calls from friends using a reverse proxy too!)
THANKS - Ignore the haters!

Thank you for your great work @jc21 !

Your project is by far the friendliest and easiest to use containerised nginx/LE proxy I've found so far and thanks to you I've managed to sort a lot of outstanding issues I had in my home network config. Please don't get discouraged by unhelpful people who understand Open Source as a "world is my employee" kind of thing.

You're doing some good and very welcome work and we all thank you for that.
