I like many among you loved sync and am frustrated with the bugs and lack of updates. It seems LJ has all but abandoned the app, so I did some looking around on the business of sync apps Ltd and can see from public records in the UK that he is keeping the business up to date. So it seems he is fine with collecting passive income from ad revenue.
@ljdawson@lemmy.world please just open source this app so the community can fix these bugs.
I myself have moved to thunder, very similar UX, lots of customization, and it’s open source.
I think it’s time for us to move on. I been with sync since the reddit days but I think the end is here.
Voyager, Boost and Summit and many others are all decent. While I don’t think they are direct replacements for Sync, they get the job done and have even added Piefed support.
It may be time to let go and accept that this app has been abandoned without any communication.
