“I Will Remember Apollo”
(kulupu.duckdns.org)
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
There is void left by Apollo - that I don't think will be filled for a long time.
not that i'm disagreeing with you, but what made the app stand out compared to the others? i never used apollo and used other apps
On the surface Apollo just had a lot of small QOL stuff that I highly valued: multiple sub support at a time, excellent filter options, embedded link preview (saved me from getting RickRolled and allowed me to enjoy getting RickRolled even more), and many more.
Then there was all the small Easter egg stuff hidden in the app like tapping certain options multiple times to unlock secret icons for the app in the customization tab, or the link embed option showing websites of charities as default until you filled the text boxes.
Apollo looked very sleek, ran wonderfully, and cut out all the nonsense with Reddit. I used the official app once or twice a month for certain things and the experience was pretty miserable in my opinion and for what I value.
More than anything the dev; Christian, was just really active in the community, open with his development, and listened to the users. Was Apollo all roses and daises? Of course not, but I’m able to overlook things for how great an experience it gave me.
