Crying in $34 Aussie dollaydoos.
A bit of a surprise; I know I was lucky to get the old Sync pro app for under $2 a decade ago, but wow.
Lemmy still has a lot less users than reddit. The dev can't rely on tens of thousands of users to buy the app for $1 each. I think he's doing a great job with this app and I don't mind supporting him.
Also, the addition of Sync to the lemmy ecosystem will draw a ton of new people in and help grow the platform.
I understand that I got a magnificent deal on Reddit Sync - I think it was on sale at the time.
I was ready to happily drop $15 on the ad free, but this is more than double that.
It's unfortunate that the price is up, but it's better than spending for a subscription for ad removal.
I understand. I was using liftoff and that was pretty good for me (still have it as a backup). I also tried jebora and connect. Sync is definitely the most polished, even in beta. I'm not going to remove ads until I know I want to stick with sync, but it definitely feels like I'm headed that way.
PWA?
Web app
Progressive web app, it's like adding an app from your internet browser. Kinda like a bookmark.

there is this thing called inflation, u know..which makes things cost more overtime :/
It's the overtime that's bullshit. Especially when it's "mandatory" and 1.5x hourly or more.
