I don't use Aperture, but I think it's really unfortunate that the standard practice for companies like Apple is to simply drop a product entirely rather than open-sourcing it.
- sp332 12y agoIt probably uses a lot of proprietary Apple libraries anyway, so even if you had the code for this app you probably couldn't build it.
- ghshephard 12y agoI do use Aperture every day, and I'm happy Apple isn't open sourcing it. I want all energy/attention/testing/use to go against their next platform, and not be fractured.
- psychometry 12y agoAnd what if their next platform is insufficient for your needs? Then perhaps you'll wish you still had Aperture as an option, but it'll be an obsolete application with no chance of revival.
- alphapapa 12y agoWhy are people downvoting your comments? Is there a pro-Apple, anti-FOSS element here? The more time I spend on web sites with voting, the more I think upvoting should be the only option.
- psychometry 12y agoHonestly, I have no idea. Once you've spent a bit of time on HN, you realize it's no better than reddit when it comes to voting.
