Apollo founder Christian Selig said he’s “heartbroken” about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit’s API pricing changes.

    Christian would be wise to start a Lemmy app. He would have a huge following right out the gate.

        I genuinely wonder how much that takes in. I don’t like it since it’s subscription based and it doesn’t need to be. One time pay? Maybe.

        So he’s gotta be pulling in a decent salary from an Apples Dynamic Island?

        It feels like his client would need minor tweaking to get to be compatible with Lemmy and I’d pay a subscription to use it.

          You probably already know about wefwef.app but I’m going to mention it here for anyone reading. It’s cross-platform and already shockingly close to feeling like Apollo

            Ive mentioned wefwef a few times. Great Apollo clone — I just do not like web apps.

      I think he’s done relying on API beyond his control. Understandable. As federated and open as lemmy / kbin is right now, there is still a chance for a large company built a tiny wall around it. Like gmail has done with email.
