> While official apps were nonexistant or severely lacking, a guy named Rudy or so made a lot of 6-branded apps that worked better than the originals on Android at the time. The snapchat, instagram etc clients he made were really good.
Several of them were taken down. Snapchat notoriously refused to develop for Windows Phone and refused any unofficial client.
- matsemann 6y agoYeah, and around the same time most 3rd party Twitter clients got shafted (on all platforms). As for Snapchat, someone at my university made accounts that would repost snaps sent to it and some other stuff. It quickly became a huge thing, and a kind of mini social network of stuff happening on campus. As they used Snapchat APIs directly for this they were quickly banned, though. It took years before Snapchat added similar features, but for me those felt DoA and no one uses them. Sad when innovation is quenched. Instead they went on to make their own app, Gobi or something.
