Absolutely nothing came from it. Except for the fact that the best Reddit client and arguably one of the best iOS apps of all time disappeared off the face of the earth.
- system2 3y agoFor some reason, Apollo's creator declined to turn Apollo into a new Reddit. He could've tried at least.
- johnnyanmac 3y agotried what? He made a very nice front end, but hosting and moderating a server himself is a lot of thankless work for a hostile userbase. I don't really blame him.
- system2 3y agoHis users could've helped. Apollo's userbase was better than Reddit's average and they wouldn't crap where they eat. If Apollo dev asked for money people would gladly chip in $1 a month for the servers.
- whalesalad 3y agoI agree that he could have tried harder. For one, I’d have been willing to get my own API key and paid my own fees to use the app. Like part of onboarding could have been enter your API credentials. Not the most user friendly but better than nothing.
