    How is making an android app related? Christian is really into IOS and making great experiences on it (he worked at Apple at one point).

    Making a great Reddit experience on android is using a different tool set to create the same / a similar product and that isn’t super interesting for a developer. Business wise, he has a few other IOS apps that he will likely focus on now instead of Apollo.

      If you read his posts, he’s clearly stated he isn’t up for a massive project anymore. Making an Android app would be such a project, and I believe the same is true of adapting Apollo to lemmy - it won’t be the simple port many people are hoping it would be.
