MODERATORS
Is it on F-droid?
I second this, too. I always prefer Open Source apps.
I second this. Will it be open source in the future?
Unfortunately it is unlikely that I will open source this project but we shall see. I respect the open source community, I just historically have enjoyed working close source more.
how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying "developers" on the internet.
Are you really asking how one could enjoy creating an app A) without the general public nitpicking at how and why you're doing it and B) reserving the ability to make some money off the app?
I think maybe you misunderstand how Libre Software works. Nobody wants to take away control from the author of forbid them from making money. We just want to have control over our devices and the software that runs on them. We want to be able to see what it does and that it doesn't have any malicious functionality. Lemmy itself is Libre Software and all software should be like this.
That is unfortunate, true.
So you don't care about your users then. You don't want them to be able to see what you app does on their device and be able to control it.
