Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.
I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!
@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it
Of course they don’t owe anyone anything.
I still hope one or more of these experienced devs build lemmy apps. It is their experience and existing UI code base that I value. I’m glad that there are several new lemmy apps available, but the new devs will take years to achieve what the incumbents already have. I don’t just mean code. The incumbents have already made plenty of mistakes and delt with complaints/suggestions from their userbase. They know what works for their users and can produce a polished lemmy with less time and effort than someone starting from scratch.
