Just curious.
I don’t think he’s developing anything reliant on another service again but if he is it’d be nice.
Of course it’s possible, but who knows if it will happen. I’ve been working on a little similar native app for iOS, however it’s nowhere near a usable state.
The beauty of the fediverse is we can tag him here, even tho he only has a mastodon account. Hey @christianselig@mastodon.social, what are your thoughts on lemmy?
I think if he wanted to, he would. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to take a break and/or look for a more stable job. I wouldn’t expect anything soon or ever personally.
I just hope he opensources apollo in it’s entirity. I would say there is no reason for him not to. Maybe this app can pick the best parts from the codebase and integrate it into this app.
I hope not. He’s spent a lot of time on it and I’d not want to see Reddit swipe that code.
There’s a great reason for him not to: he can create a paid Lemmy client based on the code. Dude made way too much money on that piece of software to just give it away.
Definitely. I think once he picks himself up after the initial shock of it all, he’d probably give it a go if demand calls for it. He was very passionate about Apollo, I don’t think it’s going to die here and now, nor do I think he wants it to die.
Tapbots went through the same thing with Tweetbot -> Ivory. It’s just really hard to give up labour of love projects, especially ones that you’ve invested the last decade into.
Sure, but he’d have to reach out to us first ^^
(This is not an invitation/question to start heckling christian to work with us, leave him to rest a bit, he’s just got a big proud project burned by a greedy company)
