Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that's admirable, but it's also too much for one dude (and I know he's tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).
But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can't confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.
And I don't necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don't want to work, and if I had money I wouldn't.
But there's just this feeling I can't shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we'll see, I guess. But I wouldn't be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.
Realtalk: The $7 "decades" menu item or the $7 Luxe Cravings Box is one of the best deals in fast food right now.
These usually have a taco, a "fancier" taco (like a double decker), and a burrito, AND chips and queso AND a drink. If you want a large drink it's $.20 more. So for about $8 you can get a lot of food.
Compared to McDonald's that somehow charges like $11+ for a Double Quarter Pounder meal now, it's a great deal.
I may be lucky in that the Taco Bell near me has line cooks that actually know what they are doing. I know that's not a luxury everyone has. But I'll never turn down some Taco Bell.
Perhaps some work on a sidebar for navigation for tablets or desktop?
I know Apollo never had that, but when I’m on my iPad I tend to use Arctic simply because it uses the real estate better. But I use Voyager on my phone.
Hopefully this money will allow that ONE DUDE to get some help in managing these apps. I know he has maybe a couple of collaborators now, but maybe they can get some more dedicated people to build out the apps. It's a lot for one or two people to try and spin up two apps at once.
The Pixelfed app that dropped last week, for example, doesn't even have a button to view the global feed. It's better to just use the main website of whatever server you are on right now, even on your mobile device.
Damnit, I wanted to watch the game in peace.
