    Yeah I’ve used all the apps in this post and Sync is just light years ahead of all of them right now. Well worth the 19$ to remove the ads

    Kinda shitty to hate on Sync like this for not being foss when the dev never claimed it to be.

      Sync has gone to subscription payments:

        Might be a hot take but it’s also justified to try and make money from software development that is not prefatory

            It’s not illegal, but it’s not profitable.

            Companies aren’t making squat from happy fans donating a token amount to show support of the software. Everything adjacent to the open source software is profitable (enterprise sales, support contracts, hardware, corporate sponsors/funding, and so forth), but you’re going to have a really hard time selling something to consumers when they can just as easily get it for free.

        Sync isn’t some international conglomerate harvesting your data, it’s one dude’s passion project. Guy’s gotta eat and monetizing FOSS is real hard.
