That's literally what Reddit does now and it's not enough

But they do have to make a profit or they will cease to exist. Money is not some fictional number.

Moderators of forums have rarely been paid, this is nothing new.

Dead on arrival. There are 6 separate "general" instances. Normal people will never use this.

Sounds like it's Payment Request API + the biometric verification, so no more "open your bank app to approve this transaction"

Adjusted for inflation perhaps. But the last Intel Mac Pro definitely went above that.

It's not ironic

It’s getting shut down even if they don’t buy it.

The API usage cost still exists, it doesn't just disappear if it's owned by Reddit instead of the dev

It doesn't dispel it

The app is getting shut down for $0 regardless, why would anyone pay $10m to shut it down?

Okay but what does this even mean in terms of API usage? Why would Reddit buying Apollo "quiet down" its API usage? I accept I may just be missing something here but I don't understand this.
733.
by dbbk 3y ago
I don't really buy the phrase "go quiet" in terms of API usage, it does sound like the developer was backtracking when called out on it

> Is spez (Steve Huffman, CEO and cofounder) going to lose his job over this? Oh please. Let's be honest, this is not financially going to hurt the company.

Really it would make more sense to be added to Launchpad but they seem to have all but forgotten about that feature

Not really. Plenty of Electron apps for web apps like Notion, Figma, Linear all support tabs.

I think the AirPods Max are a lot more hit and miss than the others... for myself and people I know, they were just too heavy/uncomfortable compared to eg the Sony WH XM series.

Every company I've worked at just serves images from something like Imgix or Cloudinary, which converts them on the fly. Never have to think about it.

I was just saying more generally, I don't know if the US has similar rules. Also I think the legal entity has changed to X Corp now.

Don't they? In the UK at least they need to be disclosed to Companies House and that data is public.

Yeah, it basically means that at any moment he can decide to momentarily be the CEO again and overrule her.

I mean you could apply "What is he thinking?" to almost anything he's done with Twitter. Which leads you to the obvious conclusion... he does not think.

I will also say, looking at the quality of the app in its current state, they just do not have a strong enough engineering team. They've been working on this for years and the UI/UX is extremely rough.

This is professional grade software and you won't pay $5 a month? Which you can cancel whenever you're not using it?

I'm surprised they haven't added support in Finder for the iPad to just show up with direct access to its file directory. Surely you must be able to directly move files between an iPad and a Mac that don't require going over

Is this a serious argument you're making?

What DX? One-click install, one time? How does that justify a recurring price premium?

The Apple iPhone reveal styled announcement videos are also just absurd. Today, we are reinventing the web!

So take it down?

That really is annoying. Apple has APIs for adding door keys / office passes to the NFC wallet. WeWork could fix this if they wanted to.
