Has someone noticed this page lately:
https://dev.hostbillapp.com/

If you click on Modules for example it requires log in. This is new.

It seems Kris is now restricting even reading on how to develop things for Hostbill. How bad !!!! How long until all that developing documentation is gone?

Why is he making it so hard on current customers to use the product? It can“t possible be bad if someone else is developing stuff for your software. It means its just gaining more value. I wonder what he really has on his mind with this tactics. He is just alienating customers, and now developers. How exactly does he expect will use his software?

Hosting companies are tech savvy, they must be in order to run their servers. Im sure they know more than Kris does about networks, servers, etc. So its not strange that some of this have developers or are developers themselves but he tries to keep them as the gate. What market does he think is going to buy the software like this?

Custom development is now restricted to KBKP and license holders before 4.6.0. This is why the dev pages require login.

He did this about May 26th.  It is absolutely foolish and silly that he did it.  I haven't logged in to see if my login works but it's quite an odd decision

Looks like he removed any reference to Modules unless you're logged in.

Personally, I don't have access.  Anyone know how I go about getting access?
