Isn't that what the RIF dev is making?
Yes! He linked to the post over on tildes prior to shutting down RIF.
Wish he'd make it for lemmy
I agree. I enjoyed RIF for so many years. Paid for it too. I would gladly pay him again for a lemmy app.
Same here.
I heard Tildes discourages app development because they think apps go against the purpose of the site.
It's on the internet, it exists to be modified. Tis the law.
With that said, if I heard that, I'd either do things low profile or I'd not do it at all, because at any point the devs can just intentionally ruin whatever you use to make your app work. And low profile isn't an option, RiF's dev will always have at least a couple hundred who will try whatever they make, day 1. In their shoes, I would contact the Tildes dev directly and ask where we stand, then go forward with blessing, or leave.
I tried Tildes out, but I am not very active on there. I don't think it is what I was looking for when leaving Reddit.
