  • To build an IOS app you need an Apple Developer Account, which is a subscription service for 100 bucks a year.

    It’s similar but not the same for Android. With Android you don’t need an Account to build the App, just one to publish it on the Play Store - which also only costs 25$ one-time purchase.

    Also, I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

    For hobbiest it’s on the expensive side. I mean it’s probably the most expensive part of the pipeline for most hobby Devs for a way overpriced service. But I get it if you really want to publish your Lemmy App on the IOS store and have the money to do it, just wondering if these people have any plans of breaking at least even via donations or such.










  • I always wonder when people say something like this. I also develop a Lemmy app myself and don’t understand this point, like are you afraid people will complain about your code cleanliness or commenting techniques?

    I mean what extra work is there really? Moving secrets to environment variables is annoying, I get that at least.

    I mean no offense to you at all, really, but when I check out other Lemmy apps I don’t even bother with closed source ones since I can’t possibly know if you just steal login information. Especially since this is so immensely easy with Lemmy.

    Again, I’m not saying you do these things but it’s always better being able to check yourself, you know?
