“I Will Remember Apollo” (kulupu.duckdns.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/apple_enthusiast
 

Looks like theres a final surprise in the form of a song in Apollo now that it’s closed.

Can anyone identify the artist?

EDIT: someone managed to find it. From Christian’s YouTube page:

A fun parody of Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You performed by the incredible Zoe Wynns

Glad this is downvoted. It takes way more than a couple of hours to completely change your apps backend to read from a completely different website’s API. And that’s not even thinking of how complicated dealing with the fediverse is, dealing with multiple domains and logging in through multiple fediverses.

The guy doesn’t owe you anything. Please be quiet.

I think he needs a break from all this before even thinking about building a new app. Having your work basically get tarnished in front of you, then being dragged through the mud by an arrogant brat in power who was obviously lying to and about you, having to deal with the refund process, that's gonna take a toll on anyone's mental health.

I do hope he can make an Apollo for the federated alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin, but like I said, he needs to sort the closure of Apollo out before even thinking on any new apps.

Honestly as much as I want Christian to push his app to lemmy as I used Apollo for barely under a year and loved it the man deserves a break

Someone in the Apollo sun said it’s like watching a great mobile home that has great amenities and features and great memories and then watching someone drive it off the Grand Canyon and light it on fire

Agreed. I remember reading on his Mastodon that he was feeling stressed about it all. Between that and the sadness of having years' worth of work gone, yeah. He deserves the break. That person summed it up pretty well.

(On that note, Tom Scott just published a video about his 3 month break in 2024)

I honestly hope Christian is ok yk

Like I said I want him on all but I was crying this morning before work and last night I got the $5 wall paper pack and declined my refund for ultra I can’t imagine the gut punch it is for him

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Same. I got Ultra, the wallpaper pack, declined the refund too. I've been feeling a lot of grief which feels weird for an app, but I just gotta let my feelings do the works I guess. :V
