Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P
UX = user experience

This whole Sync "issue" (is not an issue for me) has brought to light the way many people in the Lemmy communities feel about FOSS, free apps, ads even privacy, developers' compensation, etc. It's been interesting, still paid those $20 tho.
I think one of the thing that irritated some people is that this time they are not paying for more, they are paying to remove a nuisance (tracking). This is something almost only seen in proprietary apps.
I've paid for a bunch of Foss and non-foss applications through the years but never for the "remove ads" model. JuiceSSH is one such example. The base app was so useful that I knew I had to get the additional functionalities and paid a fair amount for them.
Fair enough. Getting some extra features (premium, if you will) would've been nice. But the app is still in beta, maybe in future updates the cheapest "tier" can get some. Also, as an "early buyer" I'm aware that I'm basically paying to support the dev, because the app is still incomplete.
Been a while since I've heard JuiceSSH discussed 🥲 used to use it to remotely log into my Pi back in the day.
I use Termux now though, although it's nowhere near as user friendly as JuiceSSH was
It's one of my most used app, the code snippets are 👌
Termux is also great but I use it for different things, mostly when I don't ssh into another system.
