I am sorry if this has been asked before, but when or will it be open sourced. It is the best Lemmy Client i have used yet but i dont like anything being closed source and i read somewhere the dev wants to open source it at some point. Just interested if there is an estimate.
Hi, it will be open sourced when it’s ready. Maintaining open source software is incredibly stressful and my focus right now is on adding features and improvements so please have patience with me! I know it’s very important to some users but there are also trade-offs from my side. Right now I don’t have any overhead of maintaining a public project and I know every line of code in Connect which helps me to fix bugs quickly or add new things. It’s also nice not having anyone to blame but yourself for bugs introduced. If you’re looking to contribute code or lend your time I’d suggest going over to the main Lemmy codebase for now until Connect is ready.
Cheers, Kuro
Ok, no Problem, i understand you. I did not want to create pressure, i just wanted to know if you are still wanting to open source it. I really like the App and i will definitely use it once it is Open Source. I for myself set the Goal to not use proprietary Software anymore. This does not mean i dont trust you, its just my philosophy to try to not use anything closed source. Thank you for taking the time to reply! (:
