Willing to bet the lemmy platform is more likely to get support from the type of person that would also pay for an app like sync than it is to get money from people that like to grandstand like OP.
I’ve donated to Lemmy, Beehaw, and Mastodon and came here because Reddit killed Sync. Lemmy is full of gatekeepers and it’s bringing the platform down. Half the posts are whining about reddit and the other half are whining because someone doesn’t adhere to the perfect open source ethos and shun anything not completely free. It’s getting tiring. No wonder Lemmy’s active user count is decreasing.
I’m thinking the sync app will entice enough people with… differing views that the in-place gatekeeping will lose its bite.
I appreciate the FOSS ecosystem, but the people around here seem to think that you should never be able to sustain a living from writing software. Like I should just go back to construction and only write code on the side.

That attitude can kiss my ass.
Don’t forget all the frothing at the mouth to talk up how wonderful communism is.
Haha yeah you’re a real activist for making a purchase
Haven’t paid for any clients yet.
I’m a developer and it hits close to home when people try to tell you that your skills should never sustain your family.
Funny how those same people still expect others to put in the time and effort for that work, eh?
With how many comments I’ve seen saying that it doesn’t take a lot to make an app, I’m shocked that there aren’t more lemmy apps. Shocked I tell ya.
