@[email protected] have you ever thought about making the app open source? I’ve used Connect for a little bit and I really like it, it would be really cool if the app was open source. You practically don’t have anything to loose, as you don’t sell the app or insert ads and trackers. Lemmy is an open-source plattform, and many (if not most) other apps are also open source, I think Connect should follow that direction. This would also allow you to publish the app on F-Droid.

    Absolutely. I’ve always wondered the same. That way, you’ll get more help and we can submit bug reports on GitHub/GitLab.

      If Connect was open source software, we couldn’t just submit bug reports, we could even fix bugs ourselves and submit the patches to be included in the app! That way, the developer might even have less work to do, as community members could help out.

        That, too. I’m not a developer (at least not yet), but I’m really good at finding and reporting bugs.
