> "Hate to break it to you, your app is already ugly, the thin black border around the Apple sign in doesn’t change the fact the rest of the app looks awful. Also you’re not getting “revenge” on Apple, you are just fucking over your users who use Apple." What's going on with this entire awful thread? A bunch of Apple fanboys crucifying the developer for refusing to play by Apple's rules? The developer has every right to do what they did, they don't own you or Apple a thing. Stop acting so entitled and just fuck off.

> What's going on with this entire awful thread? A bunch of Apple fanboys crucifying the developer for refusing to play by Apple's rules? I mean they are playing by Apple's rules (they support Apple ID on iOS), all they are "refusing" is refusing to allow users to login to their Groups account using Apple ID on a different platform that supports it. That's their prerogative but they aren't sticking to Apple, they are sticking it to their users all while pretending they are standing up to "the man". > The developer has every right to do what they did, they don't own you or Apple a thing. This is true, that doesn't mean they are immune from criticism from their decision, especially a decision they took the time to blog about and post to HN. > Stop acting so entitled and just fuck off. There is nothing entitled in the comment you are responding to, just facts about what they are doing to their own users.

The developer has every right to do what they did just as I have every right to call out their bullshit. Why don’t you fuck off?

    I did not call their app ugly out of the blue, they are the ones who brought that up on their own. This small thing called context might be lost on you.

    You do when the developer submits it to a public forum.

    The app is genuinely ugly and inconsistent though - I don’t think it’s really a matter of opinion. It is what it is - awfully designed. Not only that, the E2EE that’s advertised is awful - he’s literally using Java’s standard random function. A second year CS student would know not to do that.
