    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.
