With every new App published on IOS I wonder again how the financing works. Just through donations, or do you “take one for the team”?

I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

Never mind the 100s of hours he spent making the app and not working and getting paid.

Well I mean he got paid before as well during reddit times. From what I heard the app is basically the same switched to the new APIs.

seemingly no matter where or how you say it, if you imply sync costs too much someone will show up to needlessly defend it

With all due respect, do you even develop?

uhhh… I guess so?

My point was that Sync is overpriced, not that devs couldn’t demand money for their work, of course.

Again, this is only from what I heard, since I didn’t use Sync during Reddit times but apparently it was cheaper back then, so he raised the price for switching from Reddit to Lemmy - which I think is overcharging.

Of course it’s more than changing some URL, but it’s less work than actually making it from ground up - for which he used to charge less.

You see my point? Of course you may disagree with me, but I don’t think my point is so outragous that it calls for “insults” (?).
