Just got an itch to play lemmings-esque games on my tablet. Trying to convert things I do and like to foss versions.

    It’s actually “easier” to sustain a FOSS app on Apple for this reason

    You put a price tag to the client/app and there it is a business model without relying on donation, because the user cannot sideload without being a dev :)

      Have you ever tried to install non-App Store apps on iOS?

      Because I have. It’s very limited.

        No, because I cannot compile stuff

        Exactly why I said it’s easier to have people paying on iOS for foss

        There are no apk to just avoid stores

        Free as in freedom not just as in beer

        And paying for distribution is not the same as paying for the software…

          and apple’s ecosystem doesn’t provide that either by making non dev sideloading extremely difficult.

            I’m not sure I’m explaining myself well enough.

            That was my point since the beginning and you are not the first one repeating it lol
