    He probably wanted to do something too ambitious and feature-rich, and then could never finish it (sunk cost fallacy and all that); although many users would’ve already appreciated something simpler too, like the screenshot.

      Yep he wouldn’t release it because he wanted it perfect (his words). I seriously doubt he put much work into it nor considered product plan for users.

          I’m also glad Christian isn’t making a Lemmy app. This enables other apps like Memmy and Mlem to gain traction and do it better. These aren’t solo developers. They are also OSS.

          I agree. All the bugs I ran into plus the toxic community (how DARE you insult His Majesty with bug reports you f—ing peasant?!) drove me away.

          Which is funny because his closing post says “we want to be nice people” hence the “rules”… but the constant abuse of anyone who dared to report bugs was blatantly allowed and seemingly encouraged. No lone developer can possibly catch all bugs. It’s just a fact of life.
