- bee_rider 3y agoApollo was one of the apps that was basically giving up due the API changes, right? If they aren’t doing anything with the code, might as well let people fork it. Just not MIT or BSD, I like these sorts of licenses normally, but it would be a bummer if Reddit got to steal their code after all this bad behavior.
- jarym 3y agoAgree, would be awful if Reddit themselves just decide to lift and reuse this!
- DANmode 3y agoJust add them as a specific exception to whatever license you use, if that's your wish.
- sangnoir 3y agoWhy would Reddit add another backend layer?
- wsostt 3y agoIf they’re unhappy with their own API, this could provide an abstraction layer for the app. They rewrite their client to use this API and it frees up two teams to work (almost) independently. The UI team can work on their roadmap while the backend team fixes the internal API or retires the logic and implement it into this new layer. I’m not saying they’ll do this or that it makes sense. But I’ve definitely done it in much smaller projects.
