The kbin/lemmy app is coming along. Here´s a little preview of the upcoming beta! Heavy inspiration from Apollo. The app will be available for both iOS and Android. (imgur.com)

As a longtime Apollo user, I would love to know when this hits Test Flight!

Same, I'd love to beta test.

Go to her mastodon. You can request to be a beta tester.

Unlike Apollo, will this be Free Software though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Apollo did have a free tier and then a few paid tiers.

iirc, (I bought it many years ago), they had a one time Pro purchase that removed any ads and unlocked theming and such, and then the Ultimate which was a subscription to cover server costs of push notifications (although it did eventually end up having more features locked behind it).

While I personally did not go for the Ultimate subscription (didn’t really need the push notifications), I gladly paid for the Pro as it was well worth it IMO.

I think they meant Free as in Open Source

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's not exactly the same. The Free Software movement is about user freedom. Open Source is a term used by corporations to avoid mentioning that users should have rights.

Libre, not gratis

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I meant freedom and not price: https://youtu.be/Ag1AKIl_2GM

We want to be able to make sure the app doesn't do anything malicious (like spy on us) and be able to change it to fit out needs. Like we can with Lemmy.
