Title! Sync has been my daily driver for over a decade now, and i’ve gotten far more than my money worth out of Pro & Dev. With the news of Sync for Lemmy, I’ve joined the Sync Lifetime club (long overdue tbh)
If you’ve gotten similar mileage & want to thank LJ for everything he’s done (and has committed to keep doing), lets make sure to thank him both publically and financially :)
Why buy a project that is going to get abandoned and get a cut to Google? Wouldn’t a direct donation and then buying the new app make more sense? Am I missing something?
You’re definitely missing something. Theres no announcement that Sync Ultra is being abandoned (presumably, as a subscription service, its brought along to the new app) & there doesn’t appear to be any other way to directly donate to LJ (i’ve asked)
Worst case scenario, I spent $30 on app that i’ve used daily without a subscription for over a decade. Good spend imo
You could sponsor him on patreon instead, it might even come with a few non-reddit perks: https://www.patreon.com/syncforreddit
