Glad ljdawson is going to try to make this a thing!

My plan is to get an MVP out in the next 3-6 weeks.

What should make the first release?

Would it be closed source?

Good app, but with many trackers, and it wouldn't work without Google services one day (anti piracy measure?).

I'd presume so based on reddit sync (monitization primarly from ads and iap). Apollo's dev at one point made another app (primarly for killing amp links) that was paid and open sourced it, however he had issues with low effort copycats.

The bright side of a closedsource app is in certain cases it can encourage faster development since the dev can work on it part/fulltime (idk how syncs revenue worked).

To be clear the post above is my personal view (I could be completly wrong).
