When will it be OpenSource?
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but when or will it be open sourced. It is the best Lemmy Client i have used yet but i dont like anything being closed source and i read somewhere the dev wants to open source it at some point. Just interested if there is an estimate.
Hi, it will be open sourced when it's ready. Maintaining open source software is incredibly stressful and my focus right now is on adding features and improvements so please have patience with me! I know it's very important to some users but there are also trade-offs from my side. Right now I don't have any overhead of maintaining a public project and I know every line of code in Connect which helps me to fix bugs quickly or add new things. It's also nice not having anyone to blame but yourself for bugs introduced. If you're looking to contribute code or lend your time I'd suggest going over to the main Lemmy codebase for now until Connect is ready.
Cheers, Kuro
Just curious if it becomes open source are you going to inspect the source code?
Yes, i am sometimes changing things for myself i f i dont like something in a app.
Ahh okay very cool then, I see so many people saying they want open source yet don’t know how to read it anyway, myself included
Good to know if I had any skill I’d do the same
