As a software engineer I find it miraculous the amount of people that whine about somebody wanting to get paid for putting weeks, months, and years of their life into a product 100s of thousands of people CHOOSE to use.
So many people sound more like "What do you mean making a website costs more than $20?" types than they realize.
Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.
So proud to be present and involved in history's first lemmy app war. I'll be telling my grandchildren about this some day.
I miss the beans

And it's a very high quality app, to boot. I've been a mobile software engineer for more than a decade and this level of polish doesn't just happen by accident
Same. I'm very grateful for the FOSS options, they're like a public option. They create a baseline that paid apps have to surpass, but there's nothing wrong with devs getting paid for their work and that payment shouldn't have to be at the whims of donations. I view it as more choice and more choice is good. This is a small dev on an open platform that can't lock out FOSS options. It's not a mega corp building a monopoly. Sync is not hurting anyone by being a paid option.
Wouldn't they see this as a dev trying to make some fortune over non-profit service?
Not sure though if the dev already automatically donates a portion of his sells to lemmy.
On the other hand, I'd like to see how the donations to the non-profit are being utilized. At least with for-profit we know what's what.
The way i look at is if you give me a good app(sync) with good functionality and a nice ui I don't mind seeing ad's or throwing some money the devs way.
My big issue with the reddit app was there was no equivalent exchange going on i had a shitty app with awful ui that was buggy slow showed me adds and tracked my data I didn't get anything from that so I had to stop.
