I have noticed some posts here lamenting Eternity falling behind in development, the last substantial release 5 months old.
However, the last post by the developer was last month, so I do not believe it has been abandoned, I think they just got busy with other things, and will hopefully return someday when they have the time.
But I think it appropriate to emphasize that Eternity is open-source software, given to us for free and out of good will of the developer, Bazsalanszky. I think now would be a good time to show him our appreciation for the work he did in gifting us with one of the finest apps on the lemmyverse, and to return his goodwill.
If you have the means, the developer has a librapay account where you can donate a small sum of your choosing. As a point of comparison, Boost for Lemmy (a closed source app with trackers) charges $3.99 to remove ads (Eternity has never had ads).
If you don’t have the means to donate, I’m sure Bazsalanszky would appreciate a kind message instead. :)
Interesting point, I can add colors for different text classes (now only upvotes and downvotes can be configured)… thanks for the idea!
I second different colors for post name, user, etc. One thing I also prefer in Eternity is the bigger margin between posts. In your app, everything feels a little too close together, imo.
Ok, thanks!
