Is there any plan to open source the code in Arctic?
I was recommending this app the other day at a FOSS meetup and I felt like such an idiot when the group broke it to me that this app is closed source.
I have been using it for a long time (and even paid for it). For some reason, I remember hearing that it was FOSS.
If not, what would it take to get you to open source the non-pro features?
As it is, the ubiquitous app in this ecosystem is Voyager (and that’s a crummy PWA) which is fully open source. As a result of that decision, Voyager enjoys a LOT more popularity because it is open source.
You may even get free help as a dev if you open source it. Right now, I’m planning on making my own that is open source from day one … but it would be nice not to have to reinvent the wheel again on iOS.
I seem to recall seeing where the dev mentioned wanting to open source at some point, but I could also be totally wrong. At one point I think I was following about a dozen different Lemmy apps from as many developers. I’ve settled on only Arctic at this point.
