Just curious.

I think if he wanted to, he would. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to take a break and/or look for a more stable job. I wouldn’t expect anything soon or ever personally.
He has a number of successful apps beyond Apollo, so I hope that they will tide him over until his next project. I would love the story arc where he returns and exacts vengeance on Reddit but I would definitely not blame him for never touching social media again.
I just hope he opensources apollo in it’s entirity. I would say there is no reason for him not to. Maybe this app can pick the best parts from the codebase and integrate it into this app.
I hope not. He’s spent a lot of time on it and I’d not want to see Reddit swipe that code.
Fair enough
There’s a great reason for him not to: he can create a paid Lemmy client based on the code. Dude made way too much money on that piece of software to just give it away.
Definitely. I think once he picks himself up after the initial shock of it all, he’d probably give it a go if demand calls for it. He was very passionate about Apollo, I don’t think it’s going to die here and now, nor do I think he wants it to die.
Tapbots went through the same thing with Tweetbot -> Ivory. It’s just really hard to give up labour of love projects, especially ones that you’ve invested the last decade into.
Sure, but he’d have to reach out to us first ^^
(This is not an invitation/question to start heckling christian to work with us, leave him to rest a bit, he’s just got a big proud project burned by a greedy company)
The beauty of the fediverse is we can tag him here, even tho he only has a mastodon account. Hey @christianselig@mastodon.social, what are your thoughts on lemmy?
Of course it’s possible, but who knows if it will happen. I’ve been working on a little similar native app for iOS, however it’s nowhere near a usable state.
Yeah that would be read, though I strongly suspect that Christian would be able to just go solo if he wanted it.
Anything’s possible as long as both parties are interested.
I don’t think he’s developing anything reliant on another service again but if he is it’d be nice.
