I would love to see Christian make an Apollo variant for Lemmy at this point.

I don't think he will

The article specifically talks about that.

It’s hard for me to build another thing. If it just evaporated again, it would be like a double breakup.

Apollo for Lemmy would be awesome.

I don't think he's up for it, to be honest. If he was he'd have made an Android app by now.

How is making an android app related? Christian is really into IOS and making great experiences on it (he worked at Apple at one point).

Making a great Reddit experience on android is using a different tool set to create the same / a similar product and that isn’t super interesting for a developer. Business wise, he has a few other IOS apps that he will likely focus on now instead of Apollo.
