You seem incredibly insecure.

This was taken from the r/ApolloApp subreddit on Reddit, using a modified version of the Apollo app

You can modify the app to use your own API key

Voyager is built from the ground up as a web app, not even possible to directly lift code from Apollo

Also this comment.

I don’t think he is planning on making a big deal out of it or anything, but he does clearly not really like it.

Can you share a link to his Apollo design specifications? I seem to have missed that

Design wise yes it is a one to one copy, but Voyager was built from the ground up as a web app, which is completely different to Apollo’s “native Apple app” philosophy. So while it may seem at first “changed very little,” it is actually very different. He also isn’t interested in making his own “Apollo for Lemmy” so I think it’s fair to pass the torch down.

This is from a couple of months ago but it came up after my previous post. It does seem like he doesn’t really like Voyager, but oh well.

Based on this https://reddthat.com/post/8711097 I don’t think he has any interest in Lemmy

Christian squeezing Apollo for its last bit of money in c/apolloapp@reddthat.com
[–] UgandaSans@reddthat.com -1 points 10 months ago

I’m not sure what Phantasy Star Online is, but yes it is because he is releasing merch for his defunct app months after the fact while also being radio silence towards the Apollo community. Christian says he wants to move on, but I guess that doesn’t apply to money making ventures.

I’m also more critical on this because of his previous more greedy behavior, which I outlined in my main post as well.

I can see why he wouldn’t like the fact that it’s basically a one to one copy

Are you building an app for InsertRedditCompetitor? I am not.

There are other reddit “competitors” out there, but Lemmy/Kbin is the main one, so I wonder why he didn’t name drop it. It’s odd that he chooses to not pursue this or atleast make it easier for the community, considering he is very active on Mastodon. Perhaps he doesn’t see monetary value in creating Apollo for Lemmy since he already made millions off of Apollo and currently with Pixel Pals

https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/182v1it/_/kam3jaf/?context=1 Christian’s thoughts on open-sourcing Apollo (Not happening). Would’ve made it a whole lot easier to port Apollo to Lemmy, but we have many great alternatives now, so not a huge issue. Still, would’ve been useful for a lot of developers to see how he implemented some features.

[Crosspost] Christian’s Apollo Plushie (reddthat.com)
 

I went into more detail on why i don’t like this cash grab in the other post

Christian squeezing Apollo for its last bit of money (old.reddit.com)
 

Christian has decided to squeeze Apollo again for more money, besides the wallpapers and asking people to decline their prorated refund. Christian additionally forced a pop up ad advertising this plushie.

This is just exposing to more people the greediness that Christian has tapped into recently. Recall that previously, Christian forced daily pop up ads to paid pro users to get them to subscribe to ultra, which was originally stated to only be for notifications since it required a server, but now had all new features attached to it, even very simple local features. Reddit did him dirty, but to be honest, he may have had it coming. He previously disabled ultra access to Jailbroken devices as well, even if they were valid paid users. Christian also didn’t provide refunds to lifetime users who bought it before all the API stuff. Speaking of that, does anyone remember how instead of stating the price was increasing (which happened all the time) he instead said it was “going on sale at the old price”? Kinda misleading.
