I’m thinking the sync app will entice enough people with… differing views that the in-place gatekeeping will lose its bite.
I appreciate the FOSS ecosystem, but the people around here seem to think that you should never be able to sustain a living from writing software. Like I should just go back to construction and only write code on the side.
That attitude can kiss my ass.
See that is a position I can understand. But that’s not the position getting the air time on lemmy, unfortunately.
I have most of the clients installed and sync is one. Honestly never paid a cent, never saw an ad, never felt compelled to pay for anything.
I sympathize with those concerned about its data tracking, which is supposed to only be there for the limited ad revenue. But the dev asking for payments for features? It’s nonsense to get up in arms about that.
You should be able to make a living off of development skills as long as it’s done ethically.
Edit: hey I am an idiot. I forgot that I set my phone’s dns to an ad blocker one. Without it, perhaps I would hate sync, lol.
Willing to bet the lemmy platform is more likely to get support from the type of person that would also pay for an app like sync than it is to get money from people that like to grandstand like OP.
I like the layout of jerboa but it had a lot of issues. Have you tried thunder? Seems pretty solid.
