I think if he wanted to, he would. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to take a break and/or look for a more stable job. I wouldn’t expect anything soon or ever personally.
He said he wants to take a break in one of his detailed posts about the whole state of the app and Reddit. I don’t blame him.
I just hope he opensources apollo in it's entirity. I would say there is no reason for him not to. Maybe this app can pick the best parts from the codebase and integrate it into this app.
He has a number of successful apps beyond Apollo, so I hope that they will tide him over until his next project. I would love the story arc where he returns and exacts vengeance on Reddit but I would definitely not blame him for never touching social media again.
The beauty of the fediverse is we can tag him here, even tho he only has a mastodon account. Hey @[email protected], what are your thoughts on lemmy?
This would be almost too good to be true. I would to happily help fund.
Sure, but he'd have to reach out to us first ^^
(This is not an invitation/question to start heckling christian to work with us, leave him to rest a bit, he's just got a big proud project burned by a greedy company)
Honestly, he should just take a break, or look for something more stable. He is definitely capable! But Mlem is a great app! I hope it becomes the Apollo of Lemmy
Anything’s possible as long as both parties are interested.
Yeah that would be read, though I strongly suspect that Christian would be able to just go solo if he wanted it.
Of course it’s possible, but who knows if it will happen. I’ve been working on a little similar native app for iOS, however it’s nowhere near a usable state.
I don’t think he’s developing anything reliant on another service again but if he is it’d be nice.
