I don’t mean to sound like entitled or anything but I happily and immediately paid $20 for this app when it came out. And there were a ton of updates and now it has completely stopped. And while that worked for sybc before with Reddit. It’s not acceptable here with how often Lemmy is upgrading and changing. This app is almost unusable with how many small things are beginning to get broken. Just look through this community to see everyone complaining about the various bugs and issues that are now cropping up with. Lemmy me upgrades. A month ago the developer posted about a beta that almost no one has access to and we have heard nothing since. Really don’t appreciate this tbh. And I’m considering cutting my losses all together here as there are other apps that are developing way more and that i would rather support
If it weren’t for the comment from @ljdawson@lemmy.world saying that the pricing was so he could work on it full-time, I wouldn’t think anything of his long breaks. But because he said that, I think people have a right to question the bugs (reported here and on GitHub) that are still happening. I mean the bugs that are from the beginning.
He did a great job getting Sync converted for Lemmy, but the radio silence isn’t a good look.
But, like, that’s just my opinion, man.
(Edit: I know this is his normal method, and I agree that he deserves time off, and it was the holidays, etc etc. I just wanted to chime in with why some people may have expected … not this? Not radio silence?)
Because he changed the pricing to say he could work on it full time. Working on a full-time means more than what he’s done. I don’t even need particularly more frequent updates than he is necessarily given. Although that would be nice to squash some of the bugs. But it least communicate with your community. You can’t just post a beta that basically no one has access to and then peace out again
Yeah, this is what’s starting to make it feel like a cash grab
