I just downloaded and have been loving this. It loads pretty quickly, navigation is intuitive, and I'll finally stop forgetting that Nebula exists because it'll all be in my one big subscription feed.

Since I'm new to moving over to open source, I want to ask the veterans: is this as incredible as it seems right now, or is there something I'm missing?

Apologies for the silly question - by presented, do you mean this text post here on Lemmy, or the YT video?

If you mean this lemmy post, this is how everyday people share content IMO, it isn't detailed but all the info we need is behind the YT link. OP could also just be excited about the app and thought others already knew about it, like I did but hadn't realised it's out now.

I meant the Lemmy post. Don't apologise, I see that my comment was not very clear.

I know that's how many people share things, but it's not (yet) common in software communities. If I am introducing a new app I will write a description of what it does, add links to its website, source code, developer's site... and finally a video if I have one.

I haven't checked the video, but the screenshot that accompanies this post (We made a better Revanced!) looks like low quality clickbait too.

My bad! I'm not super deep in any software community, just an excited app user who wanted to check with you all to make sure it was as good as it seemed before I fully committed to the app and pitched in the optional $9.99.

To be honest I still can't confidently explain what the app does aside from the broad strokes in the title (outside of a little HTML I'm just a disabled author watching shows to pass the time) which is why I linked the video that explained it to me, so I'll run any questions I have for you guys through my coding friend in the future.

Thanks to everyone who looked past it to give their opinions, and sorry for the potential clickbait scare, haha!
