Ads or subscription.
Yeah, I'll stick with Thunder. Having used Lemmy and Mastodon, I realised how much I hate ads.
It's the only Lemmy app that has an actual working and usable tablet mode. Thunder's tablet mode is... weird. Everybody else doesn't have a tablet mode. Unfortunately, leading with a subscription model is terrible. Even if they're already planning a one time payment option (which they should launched with), it's already left a sour taste. I left big software that was essential for work because of the subscription model (Adobe, Autodesk) and found alternatives. Sync isn't even essential and there are multiple alternatives. Maybe not that pretty, but they're decent enough. I hope Boost does better.
Sync launched in beta. While it's unfortunate that a great majority off people seeing the posts aren't aware of that, and think it's a full launch.
The dev opened it up as beta, so more then 100 people could help test it out.
A pero versión is coming before the full release.
There's absolutely no reason for beta software to not be able to launch with a one time payment option. A lot of companies do this. Just look at all the early access games from steam. This is not a valid excuse in my opinion.
He has only worked on it for 6 weeks since the heat of the reddit drama, probably just figured that's a thing he can wait a little longer for but some people were very antsy to get back on sync
He added the one time remove ads feature just now proving that he could have added this at the start just as easily. Your argument again is not a valid excuse.
I added the extra one time payment options within a few hours of the beta going live due to feedback on here.
